Ah, are the maps held in the memory or does it use GPRS? Mine is as it came from o2, I can't see anywhere for a memory stick to go but it seems to have all of the UK on it.

Ovi Maps uses a data connection for two core things:.......................

Both/either of these connections can be disabled.

I have an X6 on Orange and have somehow managed to turn off the online connection when I open up the map. Any idea as to how you switch it back on?

I've just a play with mine and I think I know how to do it.

If you go into the 'Maps' menu press the little spanner in the bottom left hand corner

Then select 'Internet' and then you've got the option to have an offline or online connection. I am guessing this how you disable it if you want to rely soley on GPS in order to avoid being arse raped for roaming charges.

No spanner in the corner on mine, when I open Maps it beeps and says:

No internet connection. Select 'options'>'Tools'>'Go online' to go online.

When you do this it beeps again and repeats the message.

Right, have you actually got the maps installed?

Secondly try this....

Main menu/Applications/Location/

Select 'Positioning'

In 'Positioning Methods' you can choose from any or all of the following. Assisted GPS, Intergrated GPS, Bluetooth GPS, Network based. I have disabled all apart from 'Intergrated GPS' and mine still works, takes a little longer to get a GPS fix.

Thirdly, try looking in 'Positioning Serve'. These are my settings...

Positioning server 'automatic'
Access point 'Must be defined'
Server address 'supl.nokia.com'

settings... select "do not allow data access outside home network" or something or other

I think it is the default setting anyway but have a look and make sure
