Ovi maps is great GPS navigation application. It provides free of charge navigation application with turn by turn navigation instructions. The application supports several languages for audio guidance.
Those of you who are looking for other then the standard voice guide would be happy to know that Nokia released new application, Own Voice for Ovi Maps.

Ovi maps sucks. Putting lipstick on this pig won’t make it squeal any less.

ovi maps sucks? how come? i’m pleased with it, i used while walking and it was just fine, then used while in a car and, again, had no problem tracing my position. i did noticed that on a low-speed connection it takes longer to calibrate it , but after that it works flawless.

hello, i just bought my nokia e72, and just updated. ive been trying to use the ovi maps, but having a hard time using it (1st time experience with gps). maybe u could do a tutorial on how to use ovi maps offline (ie, how to find places/drive to/bookmark places).
its just a suggestion
