Maybe Nokia might be interesting for you. I suppose they still ship free offline navigation with their newer phones. (Google Maps requires an online connection, although by now you can apparently cache some small parts of the map in advance).


It actually gives you the option to download the entire dataset on a country by country basis. Pretty nice.

I'm not sure Nokia would be right for him, though- I have a (Samsung) Windows Phone and the e-mail is great, but it's not a Gmail client.


Actually you can easily cache big parts of the map in advance now. I live in a really big city (São Paulo) and I pre-cached it entirely.


Good to know, thanks!
