Nokia is providing free downloadable maps for different platforms including S60. Press release can be found from here. Smart2go mapping and navigation platform is going to be available for free download on Saturday, February 10th.
Navigation and mapping is usually needed when outside of home country. Then people face problems with outrageous data roaming fees. This application seems to be very clever. "When traveling to a new country for holiday one can download the relevant maps via PC in advance and subscribe to the navigation service for the duration of the holiday at affordable cost." Brilliant! When backpacking around the world, just pop in to internet cafe and download maps for next country.

Nice to hear.
I'm curious how much the navigation option will cost and if my 3250 is supported.
While there are some good choices for inexpensive offboard navigation there are only high priced onboard navigation solutions for S60 (of which I know).

Posted by: Horia | February 13, 2007 10:28 AMIt's there. And it works nice on my 3250. (It's not in the list of supported devices but it works ... )
I guess I will buy a new SD-card, soon.
