The N81 got the Nokia MAP software preload in the device and the A-GPS also, but didnot have the GPS receiver in the device, so just can for you to browse the MAP, can't use to find you location and navigation, unless you add another external GPS receiver to use it.

Oh, which mean i can only download map and plan my route, but i can't really lock my position. :-x

May I know what is the major different between GPS and A-GPS? I believe both also cost me data charge when using navigation and free for find my location.

GPS is a hardware device to receive satelite signal, A-GPS Assisted-GPS is a software that online download the data about the nearby satelite data will get from the GPS hardware, but A-GPS must assign to a server before can work.
With A-GPS data, GPS can obtain the location more faster and reliabe.
GPS didnot cost to data charge, the data charge is go to the MAP download on Nokia MAP application.
A-GPS only cost to a few cent of data charge of operation.

Ok, so which mean N95 has built in GPS receiver but not N81. If i want to use N81 GPS, then i have to buy external GPS receiver which will cost me few hundred bucks right.
