Orange: C905 GPS

andybno1 · 10-02-2009, 15:34

just got a c905 today and was wondering does GPS come with a charge? I was looking into using the geotagging for photos and am a little nervous about the charges if I do use it

That's not the same as GPS though, is it?

There is a difference though between maps & navigation, and geotagging photographs, which is what the original poster was asking about...

so do we know if it is or not? I have had a look but most I found was talkabout Orange maps free trial which doesn't interest me.

This seems a bit of a scam. Is this the same for all GPS phones or just Sony Ericssons?

GPS on the C905 uses a little bit of data for Assisted GPS, it uses triangulation of the cell towers in the local area to gain a faster lock on for GPS. After that you're laughing, theres usually no further data charges. Saying that tho if you want a data bundle you can get a 500mb one for a fiver now so you wouldn't have to worry about going over....

Where do i get the £5 a month bundle?? I changed from the £5 evening and weekend one the the £7.50 one but that has a 250 mb limit on it.

Oh yes and can you connect your mobile to your laptop and use the 500mb on that, or is it frowned upon as they would expect you to get one of there dongles??
