So you pay for it once then. Why should you have to keep paying for it again?

For exactly the same reason GPS systems offer yearly upgrades. New streets appear, street names change, traffic systems change and destinations change.

You can argue that with a GPS you don't have to upgrade each year but you haven't had to pay upfront for the hardware with a phone.

There is no charge from Nokia to download the latest available maps. The only thing you pay for is the turn by turn navigation.

as an aside, something I noticed the other day is if you set a favorite in Nokia Maps or Google Maps, it will also be viewable in the other. Very nifty indeed.

Good question and not one I have an answer for immediately.

Yes, also available directly from the "Landmarks" app which is included with S60 in the GPS menu area
