QUOTE(mstr583 @ Aug 27 2007, 09:24 AM) Smart2go (Nokia Maps) need to purchase to active the navigation.. so means that if i use the simulation only, i will not charged for GPRS fees? how much is the Smart2Go by Nokia?Without navigation, u only can plan route...More like simulation frm A to B..With navigation then it will guide u until the location..Even u wrong turn then the software will recalculate for u.. |

QUOTE(ruey_yih @ Aug 27 2007, 06:50 PM) Yes, simulation won't have to pay a single cent. Smart2Go is actually free and you could download it from the Nokia website itself. Also you will need to install the MapLoader before you could transfer any maps into your phone(which is also in the website). All of this could be done for free. No charges at all.. Look back a few pages i think it's been discussed actually.. oh..great. thanks for clearing all my doubts regarding the GPS thingie.   anyway, one last question. hehe.. always heard that telco will charge subscribers GPRS charges for using GPS, when will us be charged & for what kinda 'actions' when using GPS? or what i heard is untrue? thanks again. |
