ovi-maps-n97-2Nokia is bringing their Ovi Maps Navigation service to the Nokia N97 (along with a slew of other Nokia smartphones) on January 28th, but you don’t have to wait for the official update to start playing with free GPS navigation on your N97. Nokia N97 Blog has posted instructions for getting Nokia’s Ovi Maps installed on your N97 in a couple of easy-peasy steps. Why would you want to do this, you ask? Well if you don’t, you’ll have to wait until the end of the next week to get Ovi Maps on your phone, and that just isn’t going to be fun.

The process is simple – just download the Ovi Maps .sis file to your computer from here. Then you copy the .sisx file to your N97 and run the file and off you go! Head over to Nokia N97 Blog if you need more details.
