inserting copied OS maps+using GPS

Is it possible to instal a scanned OS map onto the memory card and use the installed gps on the same scanned map????: On Nokia 5800

Really short answer, no.

Slightly longer answer, a scan is merely a picture and contains no position data. It is therefore meaningless to the GPS application, you might as well present it with a picture of your dog and expect it to know which end to stick the bone in.😮

A rather crude analogy but hopefully you get the concept.

Thanks for your time.It really confirms my first thoughts.But no harm in trying.Am really frugal with my money.:redface:
