    Hi,

    Has anyone else got to grips with this? I'm finding it impossible to get it to give me directions.

    First are the other internet applications working OK?

    Secondly are you using it through a WIFI network or through O2's EDGE network?

    Thirdly how are you trying to get the directions creating bookmarks, or typing in locations?

    Try leaving the number out of the address just use the road and town
