Many thanks

Sat Nav Without Sim?
Guess it's not that simple then?
no bro....
b'coz it needs like GPRS or any other internet connections.............
good luck.
When Maps are not preloaded on the device , you will need internetconnection . The same as for Google Maps . This cost a lot of data transfer .
For the aGPS (assistedGPS) , you will need a SIM to get a fast GPS satellite connection . Assistence is realised by GSM/GPRS radio towers . That's why SIM is needed . That cost only 4kB data transfer .
You can preload the Maps of the countries , you are travelling in , on your memorycard .
Use the Maploader on your PC to get the appropiate Maps .
I think the latest OVI Maps beta , from Nokia Betalabs , can also download the Maps for preload .
When you are a bit geeky , you can also preload the Maps direct on your phone via this link : http://symbian.clanteam.com/
All the Maps must be stored in the Folder "Cities" on the Memory Card . It's recommended to delete the old files first , before the new Maps preload .
