N95 Sat Nav help

Hi
I am not sure if this has a really simple answer (ie pay for it) but downloaded the UK map last week and have tried ever since to start using the Sat Nav.
What ever I tried it just didn't get a GPS signal... Next I tried using my separate GPS receiver and blue toothing it to my N95. It paired perfectly but still no GPS signal received.
Is this because the guys at Nokia want more of my hard earned cash for using Sat Nav?
Any help appreciated.

Hi adrianwalsh
You only need to pay if you want "voice navigation"
Go outside hold phone with keypad slider open at 45 degrees, don't cover the "#" key as GPS antenna is below this. you need view of clear sky away from buildings and trees.
I suggest you open GPS data application to monitor situation.
Go to Menu > Tools > Settings > GPS data > Position > Open > Options > Satellite status > Open:
You will see 5 empty rectangle outlines, you need a minimum of three solid black rectangles for triangulation, but usually get four for lock-on postion.
If you don't get any solid bars by 20 mins your GPS isn't working!
Start Maps on N95 and get satellite lock-on (RED CROSS on satellite icon bottom right disappears) location is then saved on closing application (get message above globe on screen)

N95 sat nav

O.K. I might be thick but I'm about to get a n95 do you need to conect to internet to use or is it completly on the phone ? If I go for a 3rd party satnav will it still use internal gps //
Many thanks,Pete.

GPS dont need network as long as you already got the maps on your mem.card.
Network helps you to download additional map data and establish a faster and more stabil satelite fix.
We´re talking a few kb of data...
Internal GPS works with other apps!

N95 Buying Sat Nav: Error with credit card payment

I'm trying to buy Sat Nav for my N95, but when I submit my credit card number I get the following message:
Error
Credit card payment failed.
Please try again. (Error 3).
I have tried about 6 times now. What's going wrong?
My credit card is in daily use elsewhere; and, yes, I always pay my bills on-time and in-full!
Thanks.

Sorry if the option isn't there, I'm with Vodafone UK, it may be airtime supplier specific, but there are afew things I have te option to add payment to my phone contract, sorry if my suggestion is unavailable to you !

N95 8GB - Pay to use sat nav?!

Am I missing something? I paid a fair wedge for my N95 8GB, and one of the things that attracted me to it was the built in sat nav.
Today I go to use it properly for the first time and find that I have to pay to activate one of the most obvious functions, namely the navigation to a destination!! Not only that, but this cost is only for a limited time period then I have to pay again!
I really hope I'm missing the point and someone can tell me what I'm missing, or guide me to an alternative app I can install?
Thanks

Couldn't agree more my man.
Well.... Being a Moto / SE fan myself...
Against my better judgment - I let my wife buy an N95. One of the major selling points (To her) was the built-in GPS.
I'm sorry - But I have a problem shelling out a grand on a phone, then to be politely informed that it will cost a further $100 per year to use the navigation system. (In Aust.)
Without the $100 a year subcription - the GPS is useless! (I'm sorry Jericho - but if the thing can't tell you how to get from A to B - Then it's NOT a navigation system)
And PER YEAR? So do we get a different voice every 12 months?
Will work better in 5 years time? (After all it will be a $500 investment by then)
THEN - my mate goes and buys the far cheaper (and theoretically lower spec 6110 Nav) - guess what? Route-66 included - WITH voice guided navigation out of the box? No extra charge to you sir...
What am I missing here NOKIA? Did I just buy the more expensive phone to get shafted harder?
Yes I know I can go and buy route 66 or Garmin XT - But when I can purchase a navteq based handheld for $170 (I have one in front of me) - where is the justification?

Connecting N95 to Sat Nav???

I bought a sat nav (Navman) and i am unable to find it when i search to pair devices on my n95. both bluetooths are swithched on but unable to find
Anybody any suggestions
many thanks

If NAVMAN hasn't changed, they're a bit of a problematic device with Nokia phones, because NAVMAN uses a Bluetooth pairing code of "NAVMAN" (all letters) and Nokia phones only support Bluetooth pairing codes that are all numbers (digits).
If you need an external Bluetooth GPS receiver with your N95, then return (or sell) the NAVMAN and buy some other manufacturer's GPS receiver, instead.

Sat nav software on nokia 7373

hi does any1 know if there are any sat nav software that will work on nokia 7373.
There are the normal ones for nokia n95 and so on but would any1 of them work on 7373.

Hi nm_coolj
You could try nav4all.com - whilst software is free until 2008, there is cost of GPRS data download to factor in!

3rd party sat nav for e51

i am looking for a 3rd party sat nav that is compatible with my e51, i understand that i need an external receiver but am not sure which one would be the best for my phone?
ideally the mapping of the sat nav would be topographical as well as street mapping to maximise its use.
any ideas outhere would be appreciated.

Hi mal5336
An indication of your worldwide location may help in choice of application here as some providers maps are better for particular regions. Nokia do produce two external Bluetooth GPS receivers LD-3W and LD-4W but cheaper alternatives are available, but it would be an idea to try before you buy as software updates to Nokia devices have been known in the past to introduce compatibility issues unfortunately.

Free sat nav on Nokia E72 for life

I have the Nokia E72 which apparently comes with free sat nav for life. However, I cannot get this to work and the manual is not helpful in any shape or form......Any ideas as to how I activate this free device ??????

Hi GillRogers
OvI Maps application is built into your phone firmware although it won't be the latest v3.04 version from here:http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/free-downloads#/nokia-e72/
You do however need to install OVI Suite on your PC to enable you to download regional maps, although you need a microSD memory card and you must run OVI Maps application at least once with memory card in place; you also need to download chosen voice files for "voice navigation" to work.

Sat nav on 63031i

i hope someone may be able to help me as i am a total novice when it comes to anything tecky, i have just bought this phone because i was told i can put sat nav onto it? i have looked onto various forums and found that it is roadcom rc410 software i think? but cannot seem to find where i can get the software to install it onto the phone, am i correct with the software needed? and have you any idea where i can get the software from for this phone, i am not bothered who makes the software as long as it works, thank you for looking and replying
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In some countries this phone does ship with the sat nav software installed, but if it wasn't, it cannot be user installed later. In anycase this phone does not have the hardware for sat nav so you will need to purchase an external bluetooth gps receiver to use with it.

Sat nav N900

Can you download a free satnav for the N900? I have had one on the N97 and N95 but struggling with this one.
Where can I get free films from and also what programs would I use to Copy DVD's to the phone?
Also is there a way of getting the screen to flip from landscape to portrait automatically?
Thanks again

It has free sat nav but not voice navigation (click 'maps' and then get directions). You can get Sygic, you should pay for it but it is available through torrents for free.
You don't need programs to put films on the phone, once they're on your computer you just use PC suite or mass storage mode and drag them to the folder.
It does portrait in the internet browser and the photo gallery, and the phone. There is a keypad control to turn it for other things, including conversations, but as of yet you cannot write in portrait - there is an app, VertSMS, that brings this functionality but it is in extras-devel so it's advised to wait for it to reach extras or at least extras testing

Sat Nav - Navigate To Coordinates ?

Hi, This is my first post on the forum So be nice !
I work for Coca-Cola Enterprises and im trying to find a sat nav app for the BB 8820 that allows me to enter coordinates that i can then navigate too.
This is because our vehicle tracking service tracks by coordinates, and auditors need to be able to enter the coordinates and navigate to the vehicle. Ideally in decimal degrees format.
Paying for the software is not a problem providing I can get a free trial first!
Ive tried nav4all which is free and allows coordinate input, but doesnt seem to allow negative coordinates! Which is stupid becuase half the world has negative coordinates.
Any ideas on nav4all or anyother software thats available?!
Thanks,
Adam Cooper

Can I use sat nav on iPad Air without 3G or wifi

Can I use a sat nav app on my iPad Air without 3G or wifi

Why are you commenting on a thread that's more than 6 months old? If you'd read my response you'd see I had not intended any sarcasm. Neither is it my fault that someone posting may not have fully thought through what it is they're asking which is the advice given by these Forums prior to posting.
The 'i' prefix in anything Apple makes stands for 'internet' which is common knowledge. SatNav can't possibly work without having some kind of network connection either through Wi-Fi or 3G. As I understand it asking that question is a bit like asking "can I fly to any country in the world without using a plane?".
It's OK to ask what most perceive as a 'dumb' question and it's equally OK to respond by asking if it's a serious question. There are a lot of time wasters whom have nothing better to do other than asking questions that require no answers or have no answers. "Serious or non-serious techies" like me (which I'm not) like to give something back to the community of Apple Users because (in the main) we want to be helpful.
Again no sarcasm intended to anyone.
