Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Nokia is introducing mobile phone users to a new generation of mobile entertainment. The Finnish-based company has developed a mobile application that fuses mapping with location-based technology and mobile gaming.
The result is an application called Ovi Maps Racing. Players use their GPS-enabled device to find their current location on Ovi Maps. Using these maps players can create their own, unique racing track.
If the local streets don't provide enough inspiration to raise heartbeats, players will be comforted in the fact that they can also create their racing track using any other Ovi Maps location in the world.
Once the track has been created players can fire up their engines and go speeding around their own back yard.
The innovative new application can be downloaded for free (for a limited time) from February 2 from Nokia's Ovi Store.
