You have to disable all other positioning methods apart from Integrated gps.
You also need to pre-download the map data and set Ovi Maps to Offline.

  • N82 using sat-nav without A-GPS

    I have recently purchased a Nokia N82 and for the next couple of weeks will be using it with a Pay as you go account.
    I have used the sat-nav but find it quite expensive using A-GPS. Can anyone please help with a couple of questions?
    1. Can I use the sat nav without A-GPS? (so to work like a regular sat-nav unit)
    2. If so, how do I turn it off?
    Many thanks!!!

    You can use it without A-GPS but it will take much longer to get a fix (could be a few minutes if you are in a built-up area).
    To disable it:
    Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning Methods > Assisted GPS > Disable

  • Can I use my unlocked Blackberry 8700g on AT&T without data charges?

    Hi, my phone recently broke so I went on ebay and bought an unlocked Blackberry 8700g.  I previously had no data plan on my old cell phone, just the pay as you go type thing.  If I start using the unlocked Blackberry will AT&T automatically start billing me for a BlackBerry data plan, even if I don't use any data?  I don't need data, the phone is only temporary and I mainly bought it for the QWERTY for texting. 
    Thanks in advance

    I've heard of some carriers sending an SMS that offers service. If you reply in whatever their proscribed manner is, that constitutes activating a contract. But I think it still requires you to respond...I don't think that they can just start giving you service and sending you bills if you've never actively accepted some contractual arrangement. But, one never knows...carriers get more and more creative all the time.

  • Hi. Can you tell me if using the sat nav functionality on the in-built maps app on my iphone 5, uses just GPS (hence no cost) or GPS and data roaming, hence a running cost for the extent of my journey?

    Hi
    As the tile says, I am looking to find out if I need to purchase an actual Sat-nav app or if I can use the inbuilt functionality and not incur additional data charges
    Thanks

    The built in Maps apps requires a data connection to download mapping data. So, if you want to avoid data costs, you need to purchase a navigation app that stores the data locally on your phone.

  • HT4995 Internationally using Location Services without having data charges.  What settings should use on my iPhone 5?

    I'm traveling to Europe and I want to use Location Services without having data charges.  What settings should use on my iPhone 5?  I want to be able to use Trip Advisor City Guides Application to tour around cities for free.  I have a Verizon International Plan for my trip, but it is still pricey.  I would like to keep my iPhone cell services on for incoming calls, but I want to prevent international data charges.  Thanks for your help!

    You don't "choose" to use th 3g network.
    If you have paid for it in your plan and 3g coverage is available, your phone will automatically use it when necessary.
    3g provides faster internet speeds than 2g, so you can watch video or download stuff faster. Wifi is normally faster than 3g.
    Your iphone gps is "assisted", meaning it uses network data to calculate your position.
    Also, you would still need the network to download maps, directions etc as they are not on your device.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.
    thanks

    Hi nm_coolj
    You could try nav4all.com - whilst software is free until 2008, there is cost of GPRS data download to factor in!
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • HT1807 how do I make sure to encounter charges for roaming but still use my phone on wifi?  I have viber app and would like to message also without additional charges.  Is there a setting I need to hit to ensure this?

  • Can I download software from App store that I already own the disc without being charged?

    I own Call of Duty 4 on disk and it is loaded on my MBP, but I was wondering if I can download it from the App store so that any updates, for example, can be kept up to date, without being charged again for the software?

    No unfortunately that is not possible. If you bought the app on disk you would have to buy it again to get it from the app store.

  • Where is Sat Nav on the 3G v3.0 update

    Reading the UK press and speaking to Apple - I was lead to believe the 3g v3.0 software update was to have satnav - I am probably being stupid but I cannot find this on the update - is there something I have missed. Newspaperss from the Daily Telegraph to Observer and hundreds of blogs informed me satnav voice turn by turn would be part of the 3g update - so where is it?
    Many thanks to the community for an answer
    Steve

    Many thanks Tyler - this is pretty much what I thought - though there has been so much ambiguity in the press leading (if not insinuating) that the v3.0 would have voice turn by turn sat nav. When I spoke to Apple yesterday they actually confirmed this as part of the bundle and read me an email sent to call centre staff saying sat nav part of the v3 update - as you say - it would seem that the sat nav is a bolt on in later months at a date TBC...
    Having reviewed the 3G v3.0 update I can honestly say I am completely underwhelmed by the whole update - apart from copy and paste nothing much that I am that bothered about - an improved 'stocks' application having taken developers time... hmmmm... who is really that bothered about looking at the FTSE stock market?
    v3.0 hardly lived up to the excitement and press coverage that was generated before hand.
    Thank you though for sharing your knowledge with me.
    All the best,
    Steve

  • Data charges outside of US

    Hello,
    I will be travelling to Canada this weekend and Australia in July. I know that there are charges per minute and per text when you are calling from the US to CAN or when calling from CAN to US. 
    If I use data while in CAN, will I be charged (if so, what are the rates)?
    If I use a local wi-fi connection, yet the phone service is off, will I be charged (if so, what are the rates)?
    I'm just trying to figure out how I can communicate from CAN to the US without extra charges while there. 

    http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Text_Messaging/index.html
    While traveling in the U.S.,Canada, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico text messages sent to non-U.S. phone numbers of participating carriers will not be applied against any monthly text messaging allowance:
    Text messages sent to phone numbers in Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico are charged domestic rates per your plan.
    Just found this, this is the most useful page: http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Global_Phone/North_America/Canada.html

  • 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

  • Excessive mobile data charges

    I have just received my latest BT monthly mobile bill for my son's phone which includes £300 of non-itemised data usage charges. As I do not have the unlimited option which is available for only £5 per month I am faced with this horrendous charge. When I contacted them they explained that the charge is correct but do not have to provide any of the following;
    Details of how the charge is made up or justify that they are correct. No times or dates are provided.
    Advise me or provide any sort of warning when the 10MB free allowance has run out.
    Justify why the unlimited usage charge bears no resemblance to actual costs that can be occurred without this, at £1.47 per GB. With their broadband charges you only pay a few pounds if you exceed the monthly allowance, nothing like this.
    The costs are listed in the small print but you would still not be able to know the amount used without checking data usage every day.
    My point is that no-one would expect charges like this to build up so quickly and without warning. Does anyone have any similar experience of this? 

    Hi Brian,
    Sympathise with you absolutely.
    I had a similar but slightly less expensive issue following a software upgrade to my HTC s620. The upgrade was perfomed by a BT customer service agent who remotely connected to my PC and made the upgrade happen. Unfortunately she forgot to inform me that I'd start receiving all my emails to my phone as well. I realised when - over two separate monthly bills - there were unexplained high data charges. Two months running BT customer service reversed out these charges. (I didn't use my phone for emails.) I have now started subscribing to the £5/month extra data package as my 20-yr old daughter is using our HTC Hero. We're now operating well within our new data limit.
    May I suggest that you "count to 10" and basically go on bended knee to BT Customer Services and explain what has happened and that it was purely accidental/unintentional. Plead poverty. With luck you may have the same good fortune as me.
    My advice is: Be patient and friendly and allow the staff to do a favour for a "nice" customer who has a heartbroken son begging foir his father's forgiveness. Hopefully this is the truth anyway....!
    I agree with you and don't think that is at all fair to penalise customers on the basis of your bullet points.
    If BT wants its brand to be synonomous with fairness, clarity and transparency - it still has a few light years to go!
