Does it cost?

After paying for the satnav to track you and read the directions out...does it cost to use after that? I didn't think it did but you need to have a access point defined?

Am i going to be landed with a hefty wap bill? @ 1mb = £3 ?

Help!

Yes you will. I forked out ofr the same phone so I could have all the extras but it's not worth it because of how much it costs to access the web, £3 per mb is a lot and it doesnt go as far as you might think neither. I recommend gettin tom-tom, its cheaper in the long run.

While I think you can pre-load the maps, you're still better off having an unlimited data package like the 1gb offered by T-Mobile & 3.

Can someone advise me?

I should be having my N95 delivered tomorrow.

My home PC is wasted but I have access to the internet at work; allthough nothing can be installed.

Would I be able to install the maps without using PC Suite? Would I be able to download the file, and then email it to my phone and install it that way?
Im on unlimited data on Tmobile, but I heard it takes days and days to download directly to your phone.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks

depends what network you are with. I got my n95 last week on t mobile. I pay for unlimited internet access at £7.50 a month. if you want to use the navigation tool you need to buy a subscription from nokia. about £5 a month for 30 days or £30 for a year or £42 for 3 years.
thats what it cost you.

for example I dont use it that often so I would prob (when going on hol etc) buy a 30 day service.

its not ideal if you want it for every day use, this is my 2nd n95 and I sometimes found the sat nav frustrating.

as a camera, phone, email etc is first class, but if u want a reliable sat nav spend the £100 and get a stand alone device..

the maps themselves are loaded by an exectuable from your PC. You cant run this from your phone afaik

how is it free as you need to use the gprs?

by the way you can download the maps etc from the nokia site, onto your phone free.

Why not just pre-load the maps, & set the Nokia Maps app to *not* use the network / access point?


What I've done...
