    Search online for the software or use a popular auction site.

    You will need a GPS receiver along with the software (tom-tom is popular) for it to work.

    Do people really go places they don't know enough to warrent buying a expensive map ?.

    Just beware that the N70 from "3" (if that is what you have) has a very buggy firmware version that keeps losing its synch with bluetooth GPS receivers. If you have version 2.* firmware like mine then it will need upgrading to version 5.* which allegedly has improvements including bluetooth fixes.

    Just got a refurbished N70, not that keen on it, might send it back (still within the 7 days) may wait for the N80 due out soon or fo for V3.

    tomtom on my tmobile N70 crashes occasionally and often if I exit tomtom then reenter it, it won't connect to the gps receiver again until I power down the phone and restart it.

    Still, when it works, its decent. much better than route66 on my p910i was
