As my colleague explained, what used to be a single application "Nokia Maps" in some of our earlier products is now split into two separate apps:
Nokia Maps is centred around walk navigation and helping you to find places of interest.
Nokia Drive is centred around use as an in-care navigation tool.
Satellite mode has always been a service that downloads the individual map data automatically from the internet when needed because the satellite data is too large to have an entire country map downloaded to a phone. It is therefore not practical for in-car user when you are travelling fast and data has to be repeatedly downloaded as you move from one map cell to another over great distances, it is also potentially expensive in terms of data charges which would be a turn-off for most users Additionally, for safety reasons the app being used whilst driving needs to be clear and simple in order that your attention is not needlessly distracted from the road ahead.
As already mentioned, the Nokia Maps app is where your find the satellite view, where data consumption considerations are less vital because (1) you have less need to view very large areas, and (2) youare also likely to have the option of using a wireless network and thus avoiding data charges altogether, and where you can focus on the extra detail offered by satellite imagery without endangering your personal safety.
