Nokia maps on E51

I understand you need to have a GPS unit to use this properly but someone told me that it will get your location based on netwrok signal. Is this correct and how does it work? It has that option in the menu but does not seem to work on my phone.

If it's anything like the Look4me service, it would prove pretty useless for pinpointing your position accurately on a map. The Look4me service had my correct position out by at least a kilometer. I suppose it really depends on if it is using proper triangulation or some type of approximation of distance from your handset to the closest cell tower. GSM Localization

Thanks man.

For better accuracy i'd log onto bid or buy, and get yourself a Bluetooth GPS Receiver for not more than R500. It's really powerful and picks up signal in 15 seconds - battery aso lasts for ever.

I use one for my N95, as the phone's signal is useless.

GSM Localisation is useless!
