Nokia’s Beta Labs have released Nokia Map Loader 2.0 - an app that lets you download maps to your mobile to use offline.
The app runs on Windows XP or Vista and works with Nokia Maps on the user’s phone to display the map in offline mode.
New in this version is a ‘Services’ tab that allows the purchase of navigation and city guides. Services require PC Site to sync the guide data and will not work with phones in mass storage mode.
Directions can be provided for walking or ‘drive and walk’ - each is sold separately. Licenses to use the maps and services can be purchased via the app with a credit card and Map Loader will let you manage any existing licenses.
The app is a bit basic - you can’t keep browsing the store while a map is downloading, for example. Also, it would be nice to see some pricing information for each item.
