How to start using GPS with my N95....

urgent nak guna ......

I think you should read back a couple of pages and you should get some hints. GPS navigation is free to the public provided you have the proper software combination and hardware. It do not require signing up any service with any telco. The N95 already has a built-in GPS so you need the navigation software in order to be meaningful. However, the navigation software isn't free. The N95 has one preloaded but only available for trial purposes only.

There are however other alternatives but it is not convenient to disclose them here. You should read back in order to understand we have been trying to achieve all this while.

hallo all,

i just bought a set of N95 (CSL).

can someone teach me how to install the chinese-english dictionary?
i followed the instructions from the nokia website, but it will still tell me word database is missing.

me too....
i installed dy..but database missing
how leh?

What you installed is just the program. You need to download the dictionary database which is available at the Nokia product page of your phone. Once downloaded, you copy it to the phone and then point your dictionary program to use that database. Try it out.

hi davidmak,

may i know how to make the program use the database?

I think when you download the database dictionary, you just copy it into your memory card. Then you start the dictionary program and when ask for it, you just point it to where you save the database. Thats if I remember correctly though.

On the built-in GPS of the N95, it'll take awhile before it can actually get a lock on the satellite signal. These are the conditions that will pro-longed the timing to lock:

1. You're in a car and it is moving.
2. You're under heavy foliage or city buildings or in a tight area with a lot of high rise buildings
3. You're in bad weather
4. You're in the valley-hill area
5. Too much sunlight (very subjective and unknown validity)
6. ...etc among others

It is normal to take from 5 minutes up to 10 minutes. Even longer when you're constantly moving. I suggest you get a lock and settle on your routing before starting the journey, at least 15 minutes before. That is the reason I am not using the built-in GPS anymore. I am now connected to a bluetooth gps receiver module and it takes 30 secs to get a lock from cold start. Hot start is merely a few seconds.

hi davidmak,

the program will close after it says word database not available.

i have transfered the file to the memory card's private folder and it is now working fine.

thank you for your help.

Good for you. At least it is working now.

yes A-GPS activated, but no sign of transfering data shown. constant 0.0kb

SMS cant insert contact number.

MM, how bout trying this lil` trick?

On searching for satelites, make a phone call to any free calls and disconnect it after some time, will found that the gps has already locked down on to satelites

Personally tested it and works

Credits to the original author of this trick

On a side note, just recently change my housing to black, during changing, i think they spoil my gps antenna and microphone, have to take back to the shop several times, and even show them the service manual for repairing gps, noob effin shop but on the positive side, after tweaking the gps antenna several times, not only it works again, but i found it to be more sensitive than before, i could get lock on cold start just a mere 3 minutes, without A-GPS on




Anyway, my pics of my N95 Black now, hehe after applying N95-8GB theme on it, some unsuspecting dude offer me rm 1500 for it , thought it was the 8GB model

P/S anyone tried NiiMe yet? Turns your N95 into a Wii Controller alike by using the accelerometer to control the W A S D buttons, fun for racing simulation games
