Nokia is extending the reach of its free walk and drive navigation service to two additional devices – Nokia E71 and E66. In order to take advantage of the deal, you’ll need to download and install the latest version of Ovi Maps for PC, and then install the application on your phone. Please note that if you don’t install Ovi Maps this way, you’ll be prompted to sign-up for a 9.99 EUR/year navigation service.
After that is set, you should sideload the latest country maps to save on mobile bandwidth cost — you do want to have maps pre-loaded on your device and not to load them on-demand – it’s way cheaper.
And if you wonder, the Ovi Maps is also compatible the Nokia N97, Nokia N97 mini, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, Nokia E52, Nokia E55, Nokia E72, Nokia 5230, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 6730 classic, Nokia X6 and Nokia N86 8MP.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
