Well, I suppose I want maps and navigation.
Basically, I want it to tell me how to get somewhere, turn by turn, if I don't know the route!!
I don't need it for the car, but do if I'm on foot.
If you can get it to work, the Wayfinder software will do that. You can download a trial version. I gave it a quick go but it didn't work properly, as I already have another GPS I didn't spent to much time on it. That was several months back so it may be OK now. It has the option to Nav by car or foot.

Ok, and how can I pre-load a map of London, to work with this, so that I'm not having to use an internet connection on my phone all the time?

I'm not sure if you can. I believe with Wayfinder you need a subscription to use it, but then that covers you for all sorts of things. It may be worth checking their web site to find out if it allows you yo downlaod files to your PC & then phone.

Nav4All is a free Java-app that works pretty decent with my BT-GPS and it's pretty good too. The downside is that it needs a GPRS conn to download the Maps. There are a few more apps that come with an option of using pre-loaded maps...but I don't know where to get the maps.
BTW anyone knows where to get the maps for free (not requiring GPRS/3G connection)? I need India maps. Also, what format the maps need to be in?

Well, it looks OK but still requires a lot of ongoing data transfer to use it.
Why can't you just load a map of London and get the GPS software to guide you around it, without requiring tons of streaming data all the time? My car sat nav does this ok!
