The Nokia Maps mobile application and the Nokia Map Loader for PC’s have each been downloaded over 1 million times.

Nokia is also updating the map coverage during the second half of 2007 to bring the total number of countries covered to over 150, with more than 50 of them navigable. Nokia Maps is being integrated into Ovi. Ovi is the door to Nokia’s Internet services, including the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Maps and N-Gage games. It will also be an open door to web communities, enabling people to access their content, communities and contacts from a single place, either directly from a compatible Nokia device or from a PC.
