Highly useful navigation feature of certain* Nokia phones

While the Nokia feature phones are a thing of the past and the newer Lumia series are not much to look into other than the excellent cameras in certain top models, they do offer an amazing feature that comes very nifty to the travelers.



I am talking about the downloadable Nokia maps, that when used in conjunction with the GPS, offers some alternative to full fledged GPS devices. One just needs to connect the Nokia device to the pc suite and download the map for particular area/state and there you go! You can now seek the guidance of the heavenly bodies encircling the sky with or without Internet connection. You can even search for pre-loaded landmarks, restaurants, hotels, airports, ATM, etc even without connecting to the cellular network. This does come handy when you are trapped in an area without network coverage or have exhausted the Internet subscription.
