Hi, I have tried OVI navigation in the past with little success. I have tried to use Google maps to navigate, but it was difficult. Recently Nokia SUite (Which replaced OVI suite) gives excellent Navigation system for free.
You must have a touch screen Nokia device. I tried it with C5-03. It is not working in non-touchscreen devices like Nokia C5-00.
The maps are up-to-date, even include the highway. There is island wide coverage. It was very accurate in Colombo and Galle, where I have tried it.
It is very clear. There is 3D view with arrows and directions. The speed is displayed and almost matches with the vehicle speedometer. There are lot of other useful places and functions.
I am not referring to old OVI maps, which most of you have tried with poor success. THis is all about new Nokia Maps.
Please try it before buying any paid service if you have a NOKIA device, as it is free.
