You will need a S60 2nd or 3rd edition phone to get the GPS application running. For eg. N72, N70 etc are S60 2nd ed. while N80, N95 etc are S60 3rd ed devices. I will post another article on how to choose your nokia phone for using as GPS navigation system in a couple of days.trouble_mongerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683969297051382177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31893798.post-53831657126548902992008-05-09T02:41:00.000+05:302008-05-09T02:41:00.000+05:30hai dear, thank you very much for ur information. ...hai dear, thank you very much for ur information. it seems to very useful. i plnned to buy a new noika6500slide phone next week. can i use that phone as navigator. or have u any advice for any other phone?.i am in UK, is there any better advice rather than this to be frank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31893798.post-8361500663447363172008-05-04T23:14:00.000+05:302008-05-04T23:14:00.000+05:30@soumalya, 1.

It can be generated directly from the smartcomGPS mobile software or from the PC using oziexplorer software. You seem to be using a nokia symbian OS phone, in which case you can install smartcomGPS software, and I can help you if you need any help in figuring out how to make a ".map: file. Alternativelt, you can use the .map file that i have already made, the link is available in the blog. <BR/>2. if you are talking about the "nokia maps" application, then , no, you cannot use these with files with that application. If you are unaware, there is a nokia maps loader software which you can use to preload your mobie phone with the city maps that you want. However, I do not use it because India covergae is very less. <BR/>3. As far as I know, you wont be able to get bluetooth GPS devices in India. The best and cheapest option for youy is to ask a frien who is going to US to get you a cheap bluetooth GPS device, for as low as $45. I got mine in a similar way by internet order from buygpsnow.com<BR/><BR/>If you have further questions feel free to ask. I will either try to answer it here, or detail it in the blog.trouble_mongerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683969297051382177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31893798.post-24905240021861445642008-05-02T19:23:00.000+05:302008-05-02T19:23:00.000+05:30i've 3 questions1.how to generate map file2.cant w...i've 3 questions<BR/>1.how to generate map file<BR/>2.cant we use the map directly with nokia map?<BR/>3.do you by any chance know any place in kolkata where i could buy a bluetooth gps receiver? <BR/> thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31893798.post-78086754888028866592008-04-30T19:38:00.000+05:302008-04-30T19:38:00.000+05:30@TIA, unfortunately none of the location in the Io...@TIA, unfortunately none of the location in the Ionian islands is covered.
