I live in Manila, and the maps of that city only show a few of the
major roads, which makes it quite useless for navigating. In other
parts of the Philippines outside of the major cities its even worse.

I believe the same would be true of any country that doesn't have maps
shown as being available under Nokia Map Loader.
