Nokia Maps for Your Nokia Cellular

If you own a Nokia Cellular Phone with built in GPS and don’t know already – you’ll be happy to know that Nokia Maps was updated.

Nokia Maps is available for the Nokia E61, E61i, E65, E90, N70, N72, N73, N76, N93i, N95, the Nokia 6110 Navigator and finally the 6120 Classic.

If you have one of these phones hook it up to your computer and get some updates! You’ll need the Nokia Map Loader which can be found on the Nokia Web Site.

Nokia says that “With Nokia Maps on your mobile device, you can browse maps of more than 150 countries, search locations, plan routes for free, and even view a simulation of the route. If you would like Nokia Maps to give you clear voice and visual guidance turn-by-turn, just upgrade your application with the extra voice-guided navigation service.”

Don’t worry though the Navigation Feature only costs you for downloading your data through your Cellular Service Provider’s data charges – if you plan in advance you can load the phone up with maps before you go. The Voice Direction Service is FREE for 3 days so you can try it out before you buy it, my thoughts are that the Voice Direction Service is a little expensive and for the cost you might as well go buy a Garmin or TomTom.
