Vodafone satnav solution launches to consumers

Telmap navigation for the common man

NEWS: 27 February 2008 9:08 GMT by Amy-Mae Elliott

Already available in the "enterprise" market, Vodafone and Telmap are introducing Vodafone Sat Nav - an operator branded mobile navigation solution - to the UK consumer market.

Vodafone Sat Nav offers "a complete mobile navigation experience", including both in-car and pedestrian navigation.

Featuring up-to-date, 3D maps and directions, it also provides instant access to live traffic alerts and millions of points-of-interest such as hotels, restaurants, shopping and attractions.

Vodafone Sat Nav is launching initially on three of Vodafone UK's GPS embedded handsets - the Nokia N95, Nokia N95 8GB and Nokia 6110 as well as the new BlackBerry Pearl 8110.

The subscription to the service costs £5 per month (plus data charges) with the first month free. Customers who purchase the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 will get 12 months satnav included.

Have Your Say
  • I am having terrible problems with my Vodafone satnav on my Nokia N95 8GB. It freezes while in trip mode mostly at juncions and roundabouts and usually for some time before it wakes up and starts navigating again. This is most annoying because while it is frozen I can have gone through several other junctions that I shouldnt have done. I have checked my satellite signal when it does this and there have been as many as 6 satellites available. I have it mounted in the windscreen area of the car and the GPS signal is strong. I have had Medion PDA satnavs in the past and have never encountered problems of this nature. Is my phone fauty or is it the software that Vodafone texted to me that is the problem?
