Can the Nokia 5800 use GPS without a subscription plan?
Baron asked:
I noticed the Nokia 5800 has A-GPS. For many phones, you need an Internet subscription with your network for it to work. I prefer pay-n-go cards. Can the Nokia 5800 use GPS independently, like the GPS systems in cars and such?

Yes, it can just use the steps below-
>Download latest nokia ovi suite and install it on ur pc,if you have one skip to 3rd step, but make sure its latest.
>Open ovi suite, connect ur 5800 in pc suite mode.
>Now go to view–>maps, here select the maps from the list select download.
>It will be downloaded and uploaded to ur device
>This feature allows you to use your device as gps device for free of cost, but It does not support turn by turn navigation,you have to pay for this feature.
>Alternatively you can use Gramin gps applicaton for 5800 and turn your 5800 into full fledged navigation device that can match any standalone gps device.
