Nokia's Ovi maps

[outlander]

Nokia's Ovi maps with navigation are now free to download via pc or phone if anybody's interested? Just tried out the sat-nav in the car and it works a treat.
It's got:

Drive navigation
Walk navigation
maps and updates
Events guides
Lonely Planet guides
Michelin guides

Not bad for a freebie

are they the maps for gps enabled phones? the mrs had to pay for a talkthrough type navigation (she didnt buy it), had to pay for a licence, does fine without but it would be nice to have for free...

Yes they are. They came on the mrs' E72 along with a "10 goes" trial of the talk though navigation. Quite expensie to buy the lisence for hat and it's only for 1 year at a time, but fine with maps because it always shows where you are. The best bit for me is finding all local takeaways/restaurants in the area your in

yes the mrs had a 90 day trial i think, her phone is a 6260 slide, obtained from hong kong/ebay so came with the foreign maps although was easy enough to find england and useable from there. ive confused myself :? the maps are downloadable, via ovi, s ovi the same as gps or are they two different things? if i download the free ovi maps will i get the voice like a sat nav?
