    confusion about gps/navigation??

    Hi!
    I've upgraded my software to Nokia Maps 2.0 on N95-1 but I was just wondering, do I have to buy a license to be able to use it?? Cause so far i can look for the addresses, simulate a route (even with voice guardian) and GPS shows my position fine, but when i click "drive there" it pops up with buying a license screen. It doesn't seem alright for me, cause when i buy a mobile with GPS I should be able to use it without any extra fees (i don't care about all voice guides and traffic reports, just simple navigation on the fly, like in normal GPS'es, buy once and be sure to get everywhere). Do i have to pay for this or do I have to configure it somehow? There's no point of having phone with GPS which pretty much can't do anything... So far I see this extra fees for GPS it's only fulling Nokia's pockets :|

    The simple answer is yes, you do have to pay for a license to be able to use the voice guided navigation, which is quite expensive. Quite annoying and yes, one does feel cheated.

    The prices for licences are a tad cheaper now in the Shop on the NEW Map Loader

    You still need to buy a licence mate,it's up to you if you want to install the voices after.
