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

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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

    Does anyone know if there is an app that I can use (purchase)  for Sat Nav in the car?

    If you're asking for an app for your Blackberry, I'm afraid you are in the wrong place. These are Palm forums. Suggest you check out a Blackberry forum.

  • Listen to Sat Nav through Aliph Jawbone 2 Issue?

    Hi,
    I have an Aliph Jawbone 2 and an iPhone 32GB 3GS.
    Basically when i'm driving i can barely hear the sat nav, and i know i could buy a tomtom kit etc. But the other day someone rang me at the same time as my sat nav, and the instructions started to come through into my ear. However when i hung up, the sat nav went back to coming out of the iphone.
    Does anyone know how when i'm driving i can get the sat nav instructions to come in my ear constantly?
    Thanks

  • Where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    where can I buy a new 3.5" SATA HDD with the extra thermal sensor port for my late 2009 imac?

    Depends on the original drive. According to OWC, at least last time I checked some months ago, any current WD drive they sell (up to 2 TB?) will be able to be swapped directly. I am unable to confirm this personally. But, even so, that was a while back. You should check with them again on this. As for Seagates, that might not be so simple.
    This is the original article on this from them.

    If you find a drive that OWC sells and is certain will swap in directly, you can see if newegg.com has it for less.
    This one that OWC sells will swap in directly, according to them.

  • Can I get a sat nav app for my I pad. I want the sat nave to work in the USA

    Can I get a SAT NAV for my i Pad. I need the satnav to work in the USA

    There are navigation apps available in the app store (try searching for 'sat nav') - but whether there is one which has US mapping on it might depend upon what country that you are in. Here in the UK there are TomTom US & Canada, Navfree GPS USA, and possbily others.
    What model iPad do you have ? Only the cellular models have a built-in GPS chip, the wifi-only models don't.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?
    Nick

  • Sat nav software

    New Booklet! Wow its fantastic!
    OK so now I know where I am!
    Now I need to know how to get to where I am going.
    As far as I can make out the Garmin software is no longer available & the Sygnic software is no longer available.
    Microsoft Autoroute? Probably needs a high spec machine.
    What else?
    Anyone else using the GPS as a proper tool for getting from A to B?
    If so what are you using?
    Thanks

    This is shown under the "Travel" tab in the,

    So it can't be that bad for Nokia to actually have it on their web site.
    Just thought I'd mention for the record that Software Market isn't operated by Nokia - so Nokia don't actually have it on their web site...
    If you go to Software Market you might notice that at the top it says "Nokia Software Market by Openbit" - Openbit is who run it.

  • 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?
