SatNav on Mobile Phone SE K800i

Having searched this forum I have seen a few 'online' satnav software offerings but as I have no data allowance I am not keen on that.

I have a Bluetooth GPS receiver on the way (primarily for laptop use) but I am I keen to see if I can use this with my Sony Ericsson K800i. I am going to get a 1gb M2 card so it has the space, is there a TomTom that will work 'standalone' (without having to go online?)

    Ok no TomTom.

    But is there any other SatNav software I can run from the Memory Card in partnership with the Bluetooth GPS device, without having to use expensive GPRS data network.

    you can't use tomtom on a w810, you can use a w810 with a tomtom device to take your calls etc. But there is no tomtom software that will run on a w810.

    to run tomtom from a phone it needs to be a smart phone. ie Nokia n serries or sony ericsson m600, w950 or p990 no name a few
