The Nokia 6110 Navigator is a mobile phone made by Nokia with HSDPA and integrated GPS and Bluetooth features. It has been available since June 2007. It is not to be confused with the 1998 Nokia 6110.

The Nokia 6110 Navigator is the second GPS Phone (Nokia N95 was the first) to be released by Nokia. Unlike the Nokia N95, the Nokia 6110 Navigator includes pre-loaded navigation maps. As of August 2007 [1], the Nokia 6110 Navigator is the official communicator of the reality television series, Long Way Down[2], starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.

The Nokia 6210 Navigator replaces the 6110 Navigator.

In February 2008, Vodafone recalled 3,000 of their branded Nokia 6110 Navigators due to problems with its GPS application[3].

[edit] Updating Software and Maps

Users can determine the software version in the phone by pressing *#0000# on the keypad. There is a code e.g. 0123456 beneath the phone battery (switch phone off first before accessing) which needs to be recorded and entered on the Nokia website to enable Nokia to report the latest software version e.g. V.04.22. Using Nokia PC Suite and the data cable supplied to the phone, a software update can be performed from the PC after downloading the new version of the software. For phone plan users, the phone has to be turned off and on again after the update to restore the menu item for the sim card provider e.g. Vodafone, Telstra, Optus etc.

World maps can be purchased from Nokia through its website, though they are generally not the latest release from NAVTEQ/ROUTE66. These can be downloaded to the user's PC using Nokia Map Loader (requires Microsoft .NET Framework) or simply double clicking on the downloaded .SIS file with the phone connected to Nokia PC Suite by the data cable, and finishing the installation on the phone. The whole process takes approximately 15 minutes. The maps are installed to the data card and appear in the maps section as World Maps. Installing the maps does not affect the GPS Voice Navigation if this service is already being provided by the sim card provider. If the text, Street not Digitised Appears, the user can just zoom to current GPS location to enhance map magnifcation.

NAVTEQ's website provides users with a Map Reporter function where users can report missing streets, missing features, restriction, points of interest, errors in the spelling of street names for the Nokia 6110 Navigator. Users are encouraged to report variations in the interests of improving navigation.
