Navigation on your Nokia. For free. Forever!

It seems like Nokia finally did what it should have done a long time ago. They stopped charging us for Navigation on OVI Maps and finally it is free for everyone. Here is the press release

Until today, Navigation has been kept in the hands of the few. Today that changes. We realized that billions of people around the world already have mobile phones that are perfectly suited to delivering Navigation. So we’re going to let them do that. From this day on, Navigation on your Nokia, with Ovi Maps, will be free for everyone, everywhere, to get people to the places they love. Now, and forever.

Update: Nokia N97 is now supported too!

What it includes:

• Free Drive navigation
• Free Walk navigation
• Free maps and map updates
• Free Events guides
• Free Lonely Planet guides
• Free Michelin guides

New one-click menu
With Ovi Maps, you're closer than ever. The new Maps menu takes one click to calculate the best way to walk or drive to your destination, and to find your position, find places, find local Lonely Planet and Michelin listings, entertainment, or events nearby. You're just one small step away.
