N95 Maps and tricks

[abev]

Can anyone tell me how the billing works for using GPS on a prepaid N95?
In some instances it was hellishly expensive and in others cost nothing

Also if you have any tips or tricks for it that would be great.

Thanks!

you have to pay to use gps? gps is a free system, don't know how they supposed to bill you for that. Unless you use the internet version.

Some GPS applications (like Nokia Maps) use the GPRS/3G data connection in the background. The data connection can usually be disabled in the Settings. If it's using the data connection while you are roaming, it could be very expensive.
Unless the GPS application is downloading stuff in the beckground, there are no cost for using the GPS.

In my experience Nokia Maps is are not the best GPS program available, Garmin Mobile XT is much better.
