Stumbled upon this article posted yesterday by Mark Guim from TheNokiaBlog which details simple steps how to transfer Google Map locations what you find on your Home PC to your Nokia device with Nokia Maps installed.



How To: Send Locations From Google Maps on Computer To Nokia Maps On Phone | The Nokia Blog

* Go to Google Maps on your computer and find the place you are looking for.
* Center in to the location by double clicking on it.
* Click on the “Link to this page” link
* Copy the link from the “Paste link in email or IM” box
* Go to Map 2 Nokia
* Paste the link into “Google Maps URL” box and type a title and description accordingly.
* Press the “create .lmx” button to create and download the file.
* Bluetooth or email the .lmx file to your phone.
* Open the .lmx file and select options -> show on map.
* Done! You can save the location so that you can start navigating when you’re ready.

or try http://socialect.com

1. find or create a landmark
2. click "Send to Nokia"

to download a collection, for example the top beaches in the world - http://socialect.com/places?tags=beach&radius=9000 => click "send to nokia"

or download a single landmark, for example kailua beach - http://socialect.com/place/us/kailua-beach => click "send to nokia"

or let users follow your blog (maybe to start a travel guide?) - for example mine's at http://socialect.com/user/sthapit => click "send to nokia"

it's all done wiki style so that anyone can edit or revert changes. tags show up correctly under categories on the phone and descriptions carry over as well.
