Navigate Working, Spoken Free!?!

[N95_Paul]

Well, i decided to purchase a month of my Navigation software to giev it a test, im going away next month so wanted to see how it handled. To be honest it aint bad so im happy-ish!

However, I had read obviously we need to purchase the woman speaking the navigation itself, not the case I have found!

I downloaded the Maps software from Smart2go, hooked it up to see if there were any map updates or anything and I found a section that showed the Voice Nagivation option with a '+' icon, clicking it installed it on my phone and then, to my astonishment doing a journey test as previously mentioned, the woman piped up! At no point have I paid for the voice licence yet and it has disapeared form my Extra Services, also in General Option's, I cna select the UK Voice no problem.

Anyone else found this or wanna give it a try?

Paul,

Did you use Nokia Map Loader for downloading? The "+" you're referring to is to add whatever you decide to download.  I have done the same from Map Loader, chose South African map and both english (Eng & Eng US) voice navigation and neither one of them works. I can do the hole tootie - GPS, route finder, simulation etc, but the moment I start navigation, it promps to purchase voice navigation. This pisses me off, I paid "X" amount for the phone, for the same amount' I could have bought a E65 + a Garmin Nuvi with better options than the N95 navigator

You get the first three day free, well thats what is said when I tried it.  and it worked for three days before asking for payment.  Mind you I did find it to be a bit pants.  lost count of the number of times I was told to take the thired exit on a round about that only had 2 exits. or to be told in 500 yard take the third exit on the round about when I was still on a motorway.

Yep big con in my eyes, as ok the mapping is free but they get ya when you go for Voice Guidance....Get ya selfs Garmin Mobile XT installed on your computer works a treat and costs nothing....


Just google garmin mobile xt on N95 and there is plenty for you all to read and install...happy GPS'ing
