the nokia n95 has sat nav.. do you have to pay via the network (orange) for using the sat nav ( sorrreeee)

woo

yes and no...

if you want to see where you are or plan a route then that is free. however if you want it to do the real time navigation then you pay nokia 40 a year (or 47 for 3)

you would download the maps over your mobile network, but the cheapest way to do it is to buy a memory card and use the nokia maps software to dowload them.

love my N95

been doing a google and read on a site that it has edinburgh and london but as you say anything else will be downloaded thru the network (orange) i've told him to push orange see if they 'll give him free gprs for a while;)

it looks really good though the phone itself, and he is really pleased with it

woo

you can download the maps using the nokia map software, which could be much cheaper than gprs

Orange data is VERY expensive so be careful when you need to get anything over GPRS.

TomTom 6 works fine.. From what I've read.

Yes there'll be no problems copying this to the memory card

apparently (don't know if its been fixed yet though) tomtom requires an external gps device to work
