Free Navigation with Nokia

Nokia offers free navigation with accompanying maps on its phones. The free navigation software is now part of the Ovi Nokia Maps mapping software. The free Nokia navigation software can be used in the car, but also when walking. Walking paths are included in the new Ovi Maps.

The new Ovi Maps has full navigation, including voice instructions and traffic. The voice guidance is available for 74 countries including the Netherlands and Belgium, in 46 languages including Dutch. For another 100 countries maps are available.

Free download
The software can be downloaded for free and internet use is not required. Like a loose System as a TomTom or a Garmin, Maps on Ovi works with Nokia's GPS. You only have to ensure that the correct cards on your phone are programmed.

Nokia claims the software is already available on 10 devices like the Nokia N97 mini, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the Nokia E72. As of March 2010 Nokia Maps will be on all Nokia smartphones with GPS, including local maps and access to information from the Michelin and Lonely Planet guidebooks. The latest Ovi Nokia Maps software can be downloaded through Nokia.com/maps for free. Look on the homepage or the additional services page.
