Hi, i'm sorry of this has been posted before i had a look but couldnt find anything.....
Basically i have the K850i and a bluetooth reciever, which is great 4 the nav4all and the likes. However what i really want is GPS software with stored maps, so that rather than going online everytime to check the map and route it is already there. i know TOMTOM does this however as the phone is not symbian i cannot install .sis files on it

on one forum i read that the K850i has inbuilt GPS software the becomes active once you plug in the SE Bluetooth headset, i find this hard to believe as i would expect it to either be on there to see all the time or become active when any GPS reciever is attached.

Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated. i tried mgmaps but couldnt get my head around how to set up the maps.

Thanks in advance, hopefully

Jay

that looks boss, an i may invest in one of them for around my flat.

the problem is when i'm out an about an i wanna see where i am or whatever then i need to connect wap to get the map 2 c where i am. i know this is only gonna b a minimal charge but i am a minge bag who resents payin 4 anythin ha.

so what i'm after is GPS with stored maps so that i can check on the fly without connecting to the net.

does this make sense?

The K850 has no GPS software or hardware built into it.
Maybe the headset they were on about is this one.

Its a wired headset, not bluetooth, but it has the GPS software and hardware built into it.

So far no local maps for the SE A200 platform phones (K850i, W910i, W980i, W760i, W890i).

So no maps loaded onto M2 cards. WayFinder site MIGHT have a solution but I haven't checked so not sure.

WiFi Adapter (brings me back to the days where

had wonderful port accessories and they sold quite well.

better not be teasing us with this!
