The new Ovi Maps, which you may recall just gifted users with free turn-by-turn directions, also supports a "share location" feature that equips people with the ability to select where they are on the map and share their locations -- street addresses, nearby points of interest or favorite places (as saved to their Maps) -- and to post a status update and photo on Facebook.
Nokia's approach to location-sharing is incredibly simple and practical, which means unlike Google and its Latitude product, users can share their locations on Facebook directly from the Maps application. No additional applications required. Essentially, location-sharing is now built into Nokia's default mapping application, which exposes the relatively niche activity to a more mainstream audience instantly.
