Hi,
I'm a new user of Xperia X10 and obviously to this forum. I've tried searching for this subject but not found what I want.

I bought the phone on the assumption that it had a free sat nav as I don't use one that often but find that the Wisepilot requires asubscription so I've been looking to use the google maps app. My problem is how do I get it onto my phone? I've searched the web and found all sorts of conflicting information from it doesn't work on this phone to it's already there.

Help please.

PS what an extremely frustrating phone to operate or is it just me.

regards

Hi, thanks for you reply.

'uses data connection' does that mean you can't use it?

I've looked at CoPilot Live 8 and it was available to buy for circa £40
Again every where I look for Navigon requires one to buy it.

Sorry if I'm coming across as thick but this is what I've found.
