It seems everyone is tooting the horn about this fact. All i can say is BOORING. Yet another reason to go with Nokia. You pick the maps you want, for whatever region you want and you pay 50% less if you want Turn by turn navigation.
Nokia fan
As an S60 user looking for an alternative to Nokia Maps (Samsung G810 – Nokia Maps wont work on my phone)
What would you recommend Dusan?
Are there any offline alternatives?
How about TomTom? It’s super easy to use and I love it!
Hmm
I guess ill give that a try tomo when i get my micro sd card
Thanks Dusan!
