Nokia N95 and GPRS

Jonah1156

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I have just acquired a N95 Sport and would like to know how best I can use the Sat Nav facility within this phone please.

I have no idea how to use this and whether one would incur any charges for using this facility. I am going to Spain in October and with hiring a car over there, i would like to use this sat nav so that i won't end up on their toll roads!

Any tips/info would be gratefully received please.

Thanks

Depends on what software you install. Tomtom wouldn't incur any extra charges other than the inital purchase price.

Just to add that TBH, I think I'd rather use the toll roads.

Also,

GPRS facility doesn't calculate your position. It stands for General Packet Radio Service, i.e. sending data wireless-ly and doesn't have anything to do with determining your position e.g. with GPS.

The inbuilt sat nav will work all over Europe OK but without voice guidance unless you pay.I've just put Garmin on my N95-far superior.Have a look on ebay

Thanks for that last reply. When you mention putting Garmin on your N95, how can this be done and how much please?

On Ebay - where would one find these please?

Thanks

You buy a cd with the Garmin software on it,connect your N95 to the PC & follow the instructions to install it to your phone.Yuo need at least 1/2 gig of space left on your phones memory card.Takes about 90 min's to transfere over.Here's one on ebay at the mo-
