gps maps

I am using a GPS phone. But it is useless in Sri Lanka
1. there are no proper maps.
2. no proper road signs.
3. Charge your internet connection when loading maps.
4. Battery consumption is extremely low when you switch on the GPS

100% thrue

    1. there are proper maps : Garmin - works with most of smart phones.
    2. yes. even real world haven't
    3. Offline Maps or Garmin doesn't need online data connection
    4. Yes. you can't get more than 4 hour navigation with any phone.

    50% true :P:baffled:

    still sri lanka hasn't got a straight GPS system

    my recommendation is nokia N8


    Even Japan, India etc.. have no GPS system.
    GPS is a USA owned system. but its 100% free open for any country in world.

    there are country specific restrictions for GPS. but Maps, Navigation differance in country to country. such as turn by turn navigation may not available everywhere.




    Nokia N97 mini!!

    gps is useless in SL

    It useful in SL. outcome is lack of highly detailed map.
