    It does cover Philippines and more than other 170 countries.
    N82 will be included in the coming weeks with the 3.03 free version. Meanwhile only he maps will run, no guidance.
    However in spite there are lots of languages i don't remember any from there.

                  now im starting to regret getting 5530 as 5800 now has matching software plus free navigation. Impressive Nokia. Though I dont realy need navigation but when going abroad it could be useful

                    !!! NOKIA ROCKS !!!

                    Indeed, I updated my hacked version of OVI Maps on my unhacked 5800xm to the one from the official website by browsing from my cell phone to the official web site and now I have the latest version of OVI Maps and all the maps I want ...FOR FREE. I installed a few voices and now I have to test it...it will be sweet to have text-to-speech guidance for free.
                    3D Landmarks works just fine.
                    This is huge, GPS software and maps for FREE, FOREVER...and it really works. They make my day. Is there any other company offering such a nice gift? I doubt.

                            Just checked Nokia USA website no USA is listed; thanks to the greedy US carriers forcing people to pay that stupid $10 a month for turn-by-turn nav when your phone is equipped with GPS. Thank god some people can get away around it, but this is so wrong to charge people monthly for something they already paid for.
