20.08.08 Victoria Arnstein

Lonely Planet is to make its books content available via Nokia Maps. The move means travellers can purchase and download the publisher's city guides for £5.99 on their Nokia phones.

"Lonely Planet is a well-known brand among travellers and stands for adventure and editorial independence," said Maximilian Schierstadt, head of media partnerships, Nokia context-based services. "We are very excited to offer their expert local recommendations and itineraries to our Nokia Maps consumers."

Stephen Palmer, c.e.o of Lonely Planet Publications, added: "This deal makes Lonely Planet content available regardless of time or place. It will help answer all those questions which travellers frequently have, such as 'What should I explore today?', or 'Where should I go for dinner tonight?'"
