Nokia Maps 2 and Europe

You have stumbled upon my 2 biggest rants about nokia maps 😉

Im a voda customer as well, and I cannot find the roaming costs for data anywhere on their site.

If I were you, I wouldnt chance it, Id ring them and ask for clarifacation.

Its going to cost a bomb, since outside a plan its �1 per 15mb, and �2 per MB after that. Ouch. So its very possible its more than that when roaming.

Here's what I could glean - it sounds like �5/day but if I use less than a Mb (which I presume I will) is it less ? - it's typical Vodafone lack of clarity.

15 days at a fiver is not on 😮

Your �5 pays for the first MB you use every day (that's about 40 pages). Because we want you to get the most from your Mobile Internet experience we'll throw in a further 14MB � and it won't cost you a penny more. That means you get a generous 15MB a day for just �5.

What if I use less than 1MB?
You'll only be charged for the pages you view. So four pages, for example, would cost you about 50p.

What with all the does it doesn't it questions about locked to card/internal screen/internal GPS etc for the paid for solutions, I think I'm just going to stick to Sportstracker while cycling on the E90 and buy a PND - way less grief.

I would be very careful. That sounds remarkably cheap and almost like UK Pricing if you don't have a data tarrif.

Typically look at paying around �10 per meg for data abroad with no bundles that dont cost �ROFL

I stand corrected.

Basically its �5 per meg.

Data is �5 per meg if you use their "internet APN" ( check which one your using )

If you use their "WAP" apn you pay �5 a meg capped at �5 a day ( for the first 15meg) so if you use half a meg you pay �2.50.

If you use 2 meg you pay �5.
10 meg �5
13meg �5
16 meg �10

I would imagine though the WAP APN allows you do sod all other than access basic web services on Port 80. This mean half the apps on your phone wont work unless they go via the HTTP protocol. I would check that Nokia Maps actually works via the WAP APN in the UK before you rely to much on it.

You can't preload the maps with nokia maps loader?

You can however using assisted gps will cost you a few k unless you want to sit for years waiting for a lock.

Hi,

I'm French and have a 6210 Navigator. Here, we have maps pre-loaded in the phone and the map downloader is disabled in the phone.

You have to use Nokia Map Loader to upload the map of France.

For the A-GPS data, it's free with SFR (Vodafone partner) so no problem to activate it.
