To get the Nokia maps via your PC you:
1. Run the GPS software (maps) with the memory card inside. Exit the program.
2. Install maploader on your PC. You can download this at

3. Connect your handset via USB and select "mass storage" on the N95.
4. Launch maploader and follow the instructions.
On step 1 if you've already run Maps without your card inserted, you need to do it again. You may also need to get a GPS fix first and download at least 1 map over the air (WLAN / GPRS) for it to create the directory structure.
For turn by turn instructions you pay Nokia by subscribing via the phone. I think its £30 for 3 years but I'm not certain as I haven't done it. I'm using Tom Tom 6 with an external Bluetooth receiver, awaiting Tom Tom to upgrade. Although there are several other programs which use the internal GPS.
