From what I have heard, some private companies have been creating digital maps of Nigerian cities. It is all private initiatives for their own products. The most conprehensive digital map belongs to one of the companies offering Fleet Tracking services using GPRS.

Does that mean the GPS functionality is of no use in Nigeria...at least for now?
Has anyone seen the Motorola Z8 yet...in real life? I went window shopping at Slot and whemn I asked if they had it in stock,they told me probably next year.

OK, at last. MTEL GPRS is now 10kobo per kb. Same apn settings.
On GPS: The Fleet Tracking companies are using it for their business. Those with Nokia phones will have to rely on the maps that some European company has produced for 9ja.
If OBJ was still around, he would have probably been sold the idea to set up a company that will create a digital map of 9ja or we might launch another Satellite to do the job!

The problem wouldn't be getting the gps signal as its world wide. The problem is to get an app that will have naija mapped. To my understanding businesses and the like could upload their locations and details to google maps but the low res of our area makes it useless. When will anyone have a Route 66 clone for naija? The real question is who would pay for it hear. If we had our tourism industry pumping it might have sold. Anyhow, when will SE make gps as a standard feature like bluetooth?
Just got into kaduna and lo and behold, the so called mtel bonanza is epileptic. Many base stations seem to be offline as when u roll thru town the service bar rises and falls like the tide. And so far NO GPRS SIGNAL though a friend told me he has seen it.

Subject: T.D. Jakes Stopped by the Police
Bishop T.D. Jakes (a well-known preacher) was returning to Texas after a speaking engagement. When his plane arrived, there was a limousine there to transport him to his home in Dallas. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver. 'You know' he said, 'I am almost 50 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?' The driver said, 'No problem. Have a go at it.'
T.D. gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down he was surprised to see who was driving. He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor. He told the supervisor, 'I know we are supposed to enforce the law but I also know that important people are sometimes given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person.' 'The supervisor asked, 'Is it the governor?' The young trooper said, 'No, he's more important than that.' The supervisor said, 'Oh, so it's the president.' The young trooper said, 'No, he's even more important than that.' The supervisor finally asked, 'Well then, who is it?'
The young trooper said, I think it's Jesus because he's got T. D. Jakes for a chauffeur!!! !!
