GPS on mobiles for free

Mitch Connor

Was looking at getting a new phone around christmas and want one that will do GPS.

At the moment I am looking at the Samsung Innov8 and the SE Xperia1. Nokia n96 is also on my watch list.

Anyway, I see loads of people going on about how GPS on your phone can cost lost through downloading info. Can you not get mobile versions of Garmin and the like to install on your phone (as the GB capacity would be there) and then use it like a normal GPS system which doesn't cost any money after the initial outlay?

the downloading info stuff would be like traffic warnings and other related info.

Cheers - I thought it would be possible, but the amount of people who had been talking about it costing money to use had me a little worried.

must be referring to google maps maybe?

yeah -some people were talking about google maps, some were talking about Nokia maps - i wasn't sure if Nokia maps were internet based as google maps are.

Nokia maps can be set to download nothing.
