I just have some queries about the maps. The nuggets on the 191 vodafone line don't have a clue!

It was just if I can look at the maps without being charged, you know on like a static page. I think I have managed to figure it out.
I downloaded some of the maps from PC suite onto the phone. So they work when I hover over them, its quite good actually as I downloaded Aquitaine in southern France, and when I go to where Paris would be it doesn't show me anything but if I move dead quickly to the bit I downloaded it shows me the places etc... I didn't have any faith it would work that well!
The main question was "can I look at a static map without being charged for it" and I think you can,(but I'm still not 100% sure) although when I do, if I go to the "log" option on the main menu it does come up as packet data, but it says I have sent and reveived nothing, in the bytes bit!0 -

I had the same problem when I first got mine. I flashed it to the latest firmware, and the GPS has worked reasonably well ever since. It now uses A-GPS0
