Nokia Transit updated with segmented maps, advance routing on Windows Phone and Symbian

Nokia still has a ways to go before directions in Nokia Transit (also known as [Nokia Transport](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/13/nokia-transport-goes-official-public-transport-departure-times/)) are on par with [Google's](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/06/google-maps-transit-navigation-beta-for-android-hands-on-video/), but the Finnish crew is clearly on the right track with a fresh update to its Windows Phone and Symbian apps. Travelers now see segmented route maps that provide a closer look at key points in the trip as well as more focused directions at those crucial moments. The app is that much more savvy about travel times, as well -- the forward-thinking can at last plan trips days in advance, and there's new options for relative arrival times as well as a simplified destination history. Symbian even gets its own specific update with long-overdue support for route updates in-app, rather than through upgrading the app itself. Lumia owners on [Windows Phone 8](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/windows-phone-8-review/) devices can get the spruced-up version of Transit or Transport today as a regular update; Symbian and Windows Phone 7 users willing to live on the edge can get roughly equivalent betas at the same time.
