by Farhan on April 6, 2010

E71 , the best QWERTY every sold , and it’s younger sibling E66 today joins the OVI Maps Free Navigation lineup , after 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.

To get the free upgrade ,

  • Download the OVI Maps application (sisx file ) from www.nokia.com/maps on the PC
  • Install the application through OVI Suite or PC Suite and start using maps .

and as Nokia point outs if you don’t install the new OVI Maps , you have to pay the yearly Navigation fee of Euro 9.99 per year for start and walk Navigation feature.

Nokia already has majority of country maps available on OVI Maps so even if they are not available for your country still you can use them if you are travelling anywhere else cause these maps are going to be free forever.

Not everything is as rosy as it sounds , Nokia is not going to include Guide Michelin and Lonely Planet due to backporting constraints , and E71 and E66 are the last of the S60 V3 FP1 devices to have this update , from now there will not be any , so nothing for N95 –8GB and the likes .
