why on the supported phones list is w950 and not m600?
AND the downloaded install file it's called k800_amaze_a_locationet.jad
AND the downloaded file is unable to run. it says :cannot read the jar file

This is just the software, you still need a GPS reciever.

No there are no extra charges once you have your own gps reciever, don't even need to use gprs.

Hi all,

from looking on their website if you want moving detailed maps it will need and use an active Data connection. To be honest seeing as a good GPS is needed anyway and Tom Tom can bought for less than £90 and is by far the best Sat Nav mapping and directions IMHO i really can't see the point in this 2nd rate at best product. As if you are using it a lot and start racking up Data charges it would over the course of Year cost you as much if not more than Tom Tom. I would rather purchase Tom Tom once and know that is the end of the cost along with a good GPS unit and have the best solution possible with no additional costs to catch me out.

Hi All,

My name is Joel and I am one of the Developers of amaze gps.

Marc, regarding your post I would like to show an angle on the usage of navigation and its cost.

1. Considering you have a gps, or you buy one for a reasonable price (~50$)
2. Consider you need the navigation option once a week

To save data (money) you use the arrow navigation (no map tracking). your data transportation will be very low, as low as 5K for short routes and 10-50K for cross country routes. In the next version of amaze, arrow navigation will be even much better, it will display true topology of the driving direction.

As you can see, it's very intuitive. Furthermore, for a very low price you get an added value for you mobile device which you are already carrying with you any where.

We try to make our application as usable and light weight as possible. If you have nice ideas you can offer them to use in our forums.

The average user uses the application on a weekly/monthly base, not daily base. If you need a gps guidance once in a while this is by far the best option today.

Joel.
