Slonez Clutched November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 I'm new to this GPS toys & just got my hands on the new N95. I find the nokia maps & navigation too complex to use, requiring online connection & $$$... Any other alternative? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 If u wanna use the GPS totally FOC, you should not go for the N95. You shuold get the nokia 6110 navigator bro... The 6110 navigator's GPS is very easy to use and best of all, its totally FOC. Don't have to pay for maps or GPS usage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 u mean using maps from malsing?? or is it included in the phone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 N95 boh free maps mehz? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 YEs, the maps of SG all the way to KL is included in the phone already. GPS usuage is FOC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 Nokia maps no need online connection bah If you want to update map get the map loader. If you tokking abt AGPS, disable it. alternative is install mapking for 3 days trial and keep on resetting the trial period. But if you think nokia maps is complex, then MK need PhD to use Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 I tink N95 has free map, but not sure if got MY's map. But definately N95's GPS is not free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 that sounds pretty good... but not too use to a non PDA phone now.. but waiting for a iphone that comes with a gps... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 Bro, no offense, GPS is free no matter what GPS device you use. If not mistaken 6110 - Route66 - SG, JB, KL maps free initially - pay for updated maps N95 - Nokia maps - all maps free - pay for voice navigation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 Thanks for clarifying what needs to be paid for the N95. I've used the 6110. Very impressive and easy to use. BTW, the 6110 screen is a little small..thats my main gripe about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 Whew! Planning to upgrade to the N95 / N95 8gb in december. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 Me on 6110 too. You can try Nokia maps by downloading it from http://europe.nokia.com/A4509271 Its good to have because imagine you wanna drive overseas for say 1 week. Buy maps for R66 is damn expensive. Instead you can pay for 1 week of use for Nokia Maps and download the maps you need All Nokia maps are free. > 150 countries What does the navigation cost? Navigation license 1 week 1 month 1 year 3 years Category A 6,49 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 (edited) Bro, paying for navigation is damn expensive. 70 Euros a year. That's like $140 Pay for 3 years $160. so each year cheaper any N95 users wanna clarify? 6110 if they have an updated map, SG map only 10 Euros. 6110 is out of the box solution no nid pay anything unless u wanna update map Edited November 7, 2007 by Osiris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 (edited) Too detail will end up like what someone mentioned with refrence to map king, need a PHD to read it! Anyway I'm on using the Smart2Go map on my nokia N80. Serves it purpose very well, just like having a www.streetdirectory.com in my phone. Can help me plan my route also. For the benefit of bros who use Nokia N & E series phones...maps can be downloaded here. No need GPS for it to work. http://www.smart2go.com Edited November 7, 2007 by Rickster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 I am the one saying MK need PhD. anyway i have R66, Nokia Maps and MK on my 6110. After trying out all, For ease of use, R66 is still my fav 2nd fav Nokia maps Last is Mapking and only if i really need to use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonez Clutched November 7, 2007 Author Share November 7, 2007 I don't need voice navigation, just need normal navigation whereby the map reflect the actual position I'm traveling. Do I have to pay for this? I can get the GPS to log on & can see the map but it does not change according to the actual movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear November 7, 2007 Share November 7, 2007 By default, it will show you the actual location of where you are Sorry, what I meant is turn by turn navigation instead of just voice. ie if you want to the phone to show you on the map graphically how to go from Pt A to Pt B, You need to pay for it. You: Tell me where am I N95: You are here (show u where u are on map) U: show me how to get there. N95: here's a step by step TEXT instructions U: Show me graphically on screen N95: Pls pay The text instruction is only a text display and will not help you navigate while u drive.
