Nokia Recently made turn by turn GPS navigation available for free on ten of its top smart phones, a move that is bound to affect companies as TomTom and Garmin.
The application is both walking and driving and maps are compatible with 10 handsets, offer 2D and 3D mapping, and load onto the smart phone either through PC preloaded or on the air, so good thing no network connections needed and no charges incurred, especially when roaming.
In future the maps will be pre-loaded on every GPS-enabled handset sold from March 2010.
Here are the details of the Compatible handsets.
- X6
- N97 mini
- E72
- E55
- E52
- 6730 classic
- 6710 Navigator
- 5800 XpressMusic
- 5800 Navigation Edition
- 5230
• Coverage for 180 countries
• Turn-by-turn for 74 countries
• Traffic data for 10 countries

All the idea about this is to increase Nokia smart phones sales and get edge over the competitors.
