Hi.

The reason why I am contacting you all is because I have recently purchased a copy of the software, “Tom Tom Maps”, and after attempting to install it onto my Nokia N95 8GB, many, many times, it simply refuses to recognise the internal GPS module.

The built in GPS device works perfectly with Nokia Maps. But after using Nokia Maps in an emergency journey of just 9 miles from my home it cost me £17 in user charges from my mobile phone provider.

So has anyone else bought a Nokia N95 8GB, purchased the Tom-Tom software, installed it onto their phone, and have been able to get it to work with the built in GPS properly, or have had the same problem and discovered a solution for themselves?

Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I’ll soon be taking part in a four day cycle across the length of wales and planning on relying on my Blackberry gps positioning. Will it work even if i have no network coverage.

Rustler asked:


I’m looking into getting a Nokia e52, but there’s one thing i don’t understand.

How does the GPS support work? And do you have to pay for the service?
Thanks for the replies guys. You both obviously have very differing opinion on the subject.
I wonder is there anyone else who can confirm which is true for the e52?

I believe you can do so from the Nokia website, but I looked at it and it doesn’t have that model in the drop down menu or the contact email section. I rang the enquiry number but it’s not operational at present

if you buy a phone that has gprs can you plug in a gps system? and will it show map tracking?

Cral Z asked:


Let’s say you were stranded in some remote place that has some cell phone coverage, would you rather have a cell phone or a gps?

Paul asked:


Thinking about getting a Nokia N97 but one of the governing factors is the GPS system. I really want a phone with decent GPS, can anybody tell me how good it is or offer any alternatives if it is not that great?

abi asked:


I am trying to figure out how to use GPS on my phone. I can use the ‘orange maps’ but would have to pay for the privilage. Is there any other way to get GPS on this phone without having to pay extra for it?
Thanks

I am frustratedly trying to find out more details but no salesperson was much help. It looks like the nokia maps vs route 66 only work via assisted gps using the phone towers and also it seems that voice guidance costs extra ? If this is the case I will just stick to the 6110 navigator altho the new model looks great. Without the features I want and need – it seems pointless , even if it does have better pic and video modes.

Molly asked:


As above, but what I mean is if I buy a sim free handset for travelling abroad (I’d buy a sim in Australia…) would I still need to pay for gps or is it different from making a phone call?
Thanks
