Why not use TOM TOM, works on most Symbian OS phones aswell as others, I use it with my Nokia 6680 and Nokia 7610, works very well. Use will need a Bluetooth GPS receiver available on ebay, I use one of these.

Bluetooth GPS
Note you will probably need atleast a 512Mb memory card in your phone aswell.

I haven't got the sat nav system yet but am planning to get it off a friend later on. I just need to know what you need in a phone to suport a sat nav, and which phones have these things. Thanks

TomTom on Windows Smart Phones such as the Orange SPV C500 and C550 is supposed to be very good. A friend of a friend who drives coaches uses it around Europe on a C500 and says it's excellent. When you buy it for such phones it comes with a plugin GPS receiver.

Recently started using TomTom Mobile 5 - from a 'friend' - and got a very good 32 channel Bluetooth GPS unit off eBay from THIS SELLER

The tend to reach about £35 + postage, meaning £45 in total. Very small unit, no set up required other than the obvious pairing with the mobile.

I've searched for the supplier and believe they are made in Asia by QSTARZ, no reply to email as of yet!!!

Use this on a 256 card in a 6630 and works fine, although 512 is much more advisable. On that score, I get them from Moby Memory @ £13.99 plus £1.60 recorded delivery.

Looking at this phone, will it work with sat nav?

The 6630 does run TomTom but you have to get the right version. There are two types; one that runs on Symbian (OS) smartphones and one that runs on Windows smartphones. The 6630 is a Symbian smartphone.

I have a T-mobile SDA II which came bundled with co-pilot and a blue tooth gps unit. The sat nav has not been used in anger much, but it seems to work OK
