Phones with Sat-Nav

Hi, I am trying to upgrade to a phone with sat-nav, however I can't seem to find out which phones are capable of Sat-Nav. The Nokia website doesn't really have flashing lights with a banner saying "use sat-nav on this phone".
Can anyone tell me what phone you are using sat-nav on, does it work well, and would you upgrade anything on it, in order for it to work more efficiently?
Thanks

All the Nokia Smartphones are capable of running Sat-Nav programs, including the 6600, 6630, 6680, N70, N90 & 9500 to mention a few. I think that I am right in saying that if the phone has a memory card slot, then it is a smartphone. Perhaps someone could correct me if I am wrong. You can also check the websites of the Sat-Nav software companies for compatible phones.
There are also a number of different Sat-Nav programs available including TomTom Mobile, Route 66, Navicore and Wayfinder. For reviews of the different options have a look at www.pocketgps.co.uk and look for mobile phone navigation reviews.
Beware though that there is an issue with using TomTom on the N70 where the bluetooth connection between the phone and GPS reciever keeps dropping so if TomTom Mobile or the N70 are your favoured options, consider a different phone or Sat-Nav software.
The pocketgps website is an excellent resource of Sat-Nav advice including forums on any issue you can think of.

  • Re: Phones with Sat-Nav

    I have route 66 mobile 7 running on a nokia n3230 with a full car kit ck-7w c/w cu-t button.
    If I use the sat nav with the phone out of the cradle it works fine, as soon as I plug it into the cr28 cradle i only receive about two voice messagers and then the sound stops.
    Any ideas?

  • Crashing with Sat nav

    Hi
    I have Navigon Sat nav loaded.
    However, it keeps crashing - Screen goes black then silver apple is displayed and I have to restart.
    It does it with navigon running, BUT ALSO with the in-built apple satnav too.
    It doesn't crash when I just have gps running.
    So it seems to be a phone fault.
    Any ideas?

  • Problem with Sat Nav

    Hi there, I am experiencing some problems when trying to use my Sat Nav on my Curve. When I start up the application, it opens for a few seconds then pops up with a message saying 'A network error has occured, please try again later. If this problem persists, please check your network settings or contact customer support.' What should my network settings be, and how do I change them? I don't think I touched the settings for that, since getting the phone.
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    Thanks
    Tom

    Welcome to the forum!
    As well as OVI Maps application needing to be set "Offline" within application > Spanner icon > Internet > Connection, you would need to go to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning methods - only enable Integrated GPS positioning method for no data cost although implication for satellite lock on if not utilising Assisted GPS feature with network access.
    You may find that you need to go outdoors away from tall buildings for 20 - 30 minutes to establish first positional fix.
    If you are not running OVI Maps v3.06 11wk10 check "?" icon within application > About Maps > Versions you may need to upgrade either via SW Update or OVI Store on device, via OVI Suite > Tools > Software updates on PC or directly from here:http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-n8-00...
    If your N8 is not already updated to PR1.2 check by keying in *#0000# on dialler you could find that device still running OVI Maps v3.04, in which case you would be told that existing map data on mass memory has to be deleted and replaced when OVI Maps application updated.

  • Iphone 3gs compatiblity with Tom tom sat nav

    just got anew I phone 3GS - after checking it had bluetooth etc ; I assumed it would interface using bluetooth, with my Tom Tom not only for hands free calling but also to download up to date traffic information - as did my old Samsung SGH G600. The telephone calling is fine but apparently Tom Tom now tell me the sat nav units are not compatible with iphone for getting the traffic information downloaded via the internet.
    I never dreamt (perhaps naively) that a major phone supplier like Apple would not automatically be compatible with Tom Tom.
    Anyone come accross this problem and got a solution - other than buying a new sat nav or an additional sim card for my old phone plus a subscription or pay as you go cost of course!!

    Thanks for info. I know there is/are an app(s) for this but not fully investigated it yet as I want to be certain I cannot just 'fix' my current problem and continue to use Tom tom with iphone as i did previously with Tom Tom/Samsung.
    If I do look have to look for alternatives Tom Tom do a new satnav with 'hd traffic live updates ' which I understand does not need a phone connection at all - sounds interesting

  • Problems pairing with Garmin Nuvi 1310 sat nav

    I have been trying to connect to a Garmin Nuvi 1310 sat nav. It set up first time, however when I switch off the sat nav and then turn it back on my phone will not connect automatically. I have to remove it from the list on the Garmin and start all over again. Surely this can't be right, my old iPhone re-connected automatically everytime. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

    I bought a Garmin 265WT recently and could pair my iPhone 1st generation to the unit but it would constantly reboot the Garmin unit. After reading all the support forums and upgrading to the latest software releases on both my iPhone and Garmin 265WT
    I could not get the problem resolved running the below software/firmware:
    iPhone 2.2 and 2.2.1
    Garmin 4.8 with Bluetooth Firmware 1.7
    I finally called Garmin and they shipped me another unit. The new unit worked without any problems even with older software and firmware. Seems as if the reboot problem might be more than just software and firmware related.
    My iphone at this point is running 2.2.1 but the below software and firmware revisions of the new Garmin 265WT worked:
    The new unit came with software:
    Software Version 4.40
    GPS SW Version 2.38b
    Bluetooth SW Version 1.65
    This worked no problem with bluetooth. No reboots....
    I even upgraded to:
    Software Version 5.0
    Bluetooth SW Version 1.7
    The unit still worked no problem. I can only suspect the issue here is hardware related in some cases. So for some people the upgraded software/firmware may work. But if you are running both iPhone 2.2.1 (1st Gen Phone) and the latest software and Bluetooth firmware and still have the problem I would call Garmin and have them replace the unit.

  • N95 Buying Sat Nav: Error with credit card payment

    Thanks.

  • 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/f​ree-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

    Is it true that the 6230i does not have the requiste symbian or pocket PC OS to allow mobile phone sat nav software to run? Is it possible for Nokia to produce a OS download for the 6230i phone to allow sat nav or other software to be utilised on this phone.

    The 6230i runs S40 (formerly known as Series 40) user interface. This is a proprietary OS from Nokia. As far as I know the phone will only run Java J2ME applications but I might be wrong as I don't have much experience with S40. You are correct in that it does not run either Symbian (on Nokias usually coupled to S60) or Pocket PC OS.

  • N86 three and free sat nav

    I cannot get  free sat nav on my n86
    When questioning three , and after they flatly denied that nokia did free sat nav,I had to direct them to the nokia site and then tell them how to investigating finally went and asked the resident expert!
    He said it was all nokias fault as nokia have not released the right software to them and they did not know when this would happen,strangely enough they are still selling the telephone.
    All this adds up to if you have three you cannot get free sat nave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    If anyone from nokia reads this site in the famous word
    go on go on go on

    did you get this sorted out?  Iv got the same problem as im on three network also but there is a way round this problem if you are still using V11.043 version (latest version three has approved back in 2009). if you can get E52 ovi map app v3.03, this works ok on my phone.
    And why are three network suck cants when it comes to updating nokia software.... Saw a full 2 years on previous N73 with associated bugs that were never sorted out for three customers as they didn't approve any software updates on that either- including Nokia phone not connecting with Nokia bluetooth car kit due to no firmware updates from three, also phone freezing, white screen freezes, camera slower than a week in jail, list goes on, 3 different replacement handsets all the same. OTELO complaints got me some compo from three network due to faults caused directly by three not updating software.
    Got a funny feeling this N86 is gonna be the same for software updates... NONE FOR ANY THREE CUSTOMERS, but updates for other network operators handsets.
    Because im with the three network im not entitled to face recognition on my camera nor am i entitled to free ovi satnav for life nor im i entitled to any performance tweaks or improved functions....... All because I am with the three network..... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR I SUPPOSE!
    Do you honestly think anyone at three is going to look over latest software release from nokia and adjust and modify it to suit a handset that they no longer sell?   doubt it.
    COME ON NOKIA, COME ON THREE!

  • 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)
