Nokia Phones Offering Free GPS for 74 Countries

dedicated hiking GPSs probably will continue, but Nokia's move may really change the game. Perhaps innovative new custom GPS/Spot solutions like the new unit from DeLorme will be their new business model, which would be good news for outdoor users. Nokie is huge in Europe and other countries, and they are pretty active in marketing to outdoors users there. We'll have to see what happens to the market, but I expect handhelds to do in the majority of street navigation units you see in stores these days.
