Hello guys, it is me again, your neighborhood maps lady My friend Pino had gone to LeWeb earlier this month with the team. One of the most asked questions to him was about the offline navigation capabilities of Ovi. So, for all of you out there who want to know about offline maps and planning your holiday trips, here are the basics.

We cover 80+ countries across with quality Navteq navigable maps. Before you travel to places outside your data coverage, you can download the whole map, not just pieces, via WiFi. You can see what all are the maps that you currently have on your phone, and can download new maps in minutes.

When you travel in offline mode, you can see where you are, find millions of places of interest to visit and read their reviews, navigate to there, see public transport lines and more in offline mode. It’s all in the map.

You can also find detailed solutions on how to save on data roaming costs and more about loading maps via WiFi in my earlier posts.
