Hi, we did a trip over Christmas. My Navman went wonky and lost the signal. I left my handheld Garmin at home.
So i took the Nokia E75 out, I did use it at home with the NZ map installed, or was that the Wellington map only? I think I also had the 7 day demo for navigation but not the turn by turn was not part of the demo.
While in Auckland, that demo obviously ended and I didn't pay the $4.95/day casual rate. I used the $1 for 10MB plan with Vodafone. I found that if I didn't pay the $4.95 I couldn't get any navigation? This is true? I select the address and it sent me to this page for payment, I chose cancel and it deleted my search path. I could just track myself on the map with no heading direction. So I had to use it manually like a paper map.
When I was in Auckland, at times it would need to download the maps via mobile broadband. At times the map would go blank waiting for download. This was in Auckland, Mt Roskill going to Okura (North Shore). Which was why I asked, did I only have a Wellington map and not a full NZ map? Also are mobile broadband downloading on the fly not adequate?
Cheers.
