me think like that either.. zitron is not worth it to buy....

btw, where u download ur asia map?

may i know ur daily usage till ur battery is not up to 1 day?

didn't u afraid when u buy n95 AP for the first time about the screen and camera which is not under warranty? i am concerning about the screen and camera if it has problem later... any suggestion?

let me know if u find out where to download asia map

is asia maps really that important? coz saw quite many ppl are looking for it...

nop
it is a 60 day trial which upon expiry, the software will not access the gps anymore and you will be able to view the maps only.

well that is what i heard.

The main application is still nokia maps which is included in AP set.

here the maps link http://europe.nokia.com/A4353385

when i knew that the battery so fast finish, so i don't open gps, wifi & bluetooth, but it still finish in one day. Maybe my battery got problem already.

About the screen i didn't care, just be careful always but i bought this ap the camera got warranty.

hmmm seems like I'm the only ap user here that are not looking for asia maps coz I don think i need to install a trial software on my phone

try to switch network to gsm only and backlight turn to lowest... mine can last me 2 days plus...

that is just the software to load the maps onto the phone

that is not asia maps

i got asia map too but it is for Vietnam, lol.....or u guys can try the mgmaps application that uses google n msn map...is pretty good....but u have to constantly stream the map data to ur phone

@ schizophrenic
so where is the best place to get asia map?
is that rite like you said the smart2go software is just 60 days trial? is that applicable for AP and original set?
btw, ur set is original or ap?

@ rstusa
what AP company u got ur camera warranty?


i really thinking of how can ap - original got more than RM600 difference... too bad

OK so I've just bought my E61i and am loving every moment of using it.

Though I know this is the N95 thread, but I have some questions pertaining to GPS which I think N95 users would be more familiar with. Coming from a WM5 based GPS background, GPS on Symbian is totally new to me.

So I've downloaded Smart2Go on my E61i. And I also transferred Malaysia's map to my device using Nokia's maploaded which someone posted the download link above. When I tried to plan my route, say for example to 1 Utama from my current location, it asks me to purchase.

My question:

1. Smart2Go is free right?
2. I thought you only pay if you want voice navigation, but still can use to plan route as some N95 users reported. But I find that I am asked to pay even if I want to use it to plan my route only.

Anything I missed somewhere in my installation?

Thanks a lot guys!

smart2go is nokia maps
it is not a 60 day trial
you only pay for navigation module
maps, routing etc are free.


AsiaMaps ....is another story
it is an application developed by navfone.

You get a free 60 day trial for KL or Singapore map. After which you will have to pay in order to continue using it(as I heard because I did not activate mine).

The AsiaMaps came together with the original set so it is applicable to it.

As for AP set I do not know anyone else who installed it so....I am unable to comment. But since the program locks on to your phone's IMEI upon activation, the rules should be the same if you managed to successfully install it on your AP phone.

mine is original.

But i can plan route on that. I think is more enough, coz very details and got show the building too.

Hmmm... as to your 1st question I've answered above and yea it is free except the navigation module.

the routing is supposed to be free. Mine is free where i select
1. options
2. plan route
3. choose starting point and destination
4. choose show route (it will calculate the route for me)
5. start tracking

doesnt seem to prompt me for payment

let me clarify the difference between smart2go and navfone... smart2go is to get the routing and see the map, and navfone is where u can get the information of the place near you (for example)... am i rite? sorry for clarifying, i am new to this stuff.... btw, if we want to plan route the from indonesia to east-malaysia (for example) then we have to download the map of indonesia and east-malaysia by using MAPLOADER rite?

if the asiamaps got 60day trial, so it is much better to get AP... no use for asiamaps

Thanks for the quick response.

By navigation module, which one do you mean?

voice navigation
the one that tells u to turn which direction

Hmm... but I even failed to plan my route, let alone voice navigation.

Is it because I'm using an E61i paired with Holux GPSlim 240 BT GPS receiver, and not a N95? Having said that, Smart2Go comes pre-installed in the N95?

the asiamaps 60 day trial is something i read from diff forums from user's experiences. none of which are attributable to my own.

smart2go...mine tells me where is the nearest petrol station, stadium, parking spot, etc (I am able to add my own landmarks for smart2go).
navfone...didnt activate so do not know the details.

as for the indonesia to east malaysia part.....yea i believe you should download the map of indonesia and malaysia via the maploader from the link provided by rstusa
