6 Months Of Nokia Maps Navigation Free With N95 8GB NAM
The Nokia Blog’s Andrew Leung has posted up a great little unboxing picture set of the new N95 8GB NAM (N95-4), which supports HSDPA on AT&T’s 3G network here in the U.S. and just went on sale this weekend. It looks completely identical to the European version, with 8GB of internal flash memory, a large 2.8″ QVGA display, and that 5 megapixel camera we’ve all grown to love.
However, one thing I noticed in his photo gallery is a flyer that was included in the box, showing 6 months of free voice navigation for Nokia Maps (hopefully it is pre-loaded with Maps 2.0). That’s a ~$65 value, and a KILLER way to get people introduced to the GPS receiver built into their handset. Bravo, Nokia, Bravo.
I’m loving Nokia’s Maps 2.0 on my N95-3, though there’s still a few niggles that I’m not fond of, it’s a killer application to have on my handset.
The bad news: Nokia Map Loader is a royal pain in the behind. It requires you to install loads of stuff, only works on windows, and adding new maps means that you have to download the maps you already had all over again.
The good news: you don’t need Nokia’s maploader-from-hell:

Works on any operating system with any browser, and you don’t need to install anything. Now you can finally add maps on locked-down computers like at work, in school, internet cafes, or straight from your phones built-in browser.
