I've got a E66, and after a little investigation, i know it has a built in GPS reciever. so that means I can use the GPS without a sim card? NO because nokia wants to earn more $$$ you have to pay to use the GPS. I also did a little research, i could put on TOMTOM navigation for Symbian S60 but thats where i want help. WHERE DO I FIND THIS? i googled for hours. with free websites, the links were all dead and with the one that weren't, they wanted me to pay to JOIN THE FORUM, then to download the file..... any help appreciated.
I found this not sure if its what your looking for, with instructions. its only the application so no maps. [hide=1] TomTom With Internal GPS Support v6.02 S60v3 SymbianOS9.1 Installation Notes : STEP-1ownload *bt.sisx *GPSd.jar *tomtom.sisx *0.Copy.To.MEMCARD.Root.rar (you have to unpack this file also..the u will have TOMTOM folder..) *TOMTOM folder STEP-2: before start if u have tomtom installed on your phone, uninstall it...!!!! and delete TOMTOM folder from memory-card also (for who had errors like, "tomtom is not starting, only globe pic spinning / connecting to bluetooth device and keeps waiting...and then not connecting") STEP-3: make a folder like TOMTOM-PATCH on your phone's memory-card, and copy these files in it.. *bt.sisx *GPSd.jar *tomtom.sisx STEP-4: copy TOMTOM folder (what you had unpacked and came from 0.Copy.To.MEMCARD.Root.rar file) to root of your memory-card of ur phone.. STEP:5 now unplug ur memory-card or ur phone from computer, and open any file-browser in your phone, go to folder TOMTOM-PATCH STEP-6: Install 1.bt.sisx, 2.GPSd.jar Install 3.tomtom.sisx STEP-7: Run "bt" from the applications menu (once is enough, it will add a virtual bluetooth device) (this can be uninstalled later if u need) and no need to run everytime before u open tomtom!! STEP-8: Run "GPSd" from the applications menu (open this everytime before you open tomtom) (GPSd app will ask some connections, you have to say yes to all, otherwise it wont connect int-GPS with tomtom.. saying yes to "allow application GPSd to use network and send or recieve data.. " it will connect internet (by GPRS) to get satellite list for A-GPS (Assisted GPS) (if it needs to) this happens if u didnt use int-gps long time or for faster gps connection type.. SO....ofcourse it will cost (and there is no way to make it use W-LAN), but its a very small data.) STEP-9: Run TomTom from the applications menu and Configure TomTom: 1) Set preferences (such as distance/time format) 2) Choose "Other GPS Device" from the GPS setup menu 3) Allow TomTom to turn on Bluetooth 4) Choose "BiNPDA GPS" from the bluetooth device list then wait for connection... DONE! * You need to change the preferences every time you start tomtom. It won't remember that you were using the internal GPS* * If you need to switch from internal, to an "external" receiver, you may need to click on "tomtom receiver", and then "other receiver" to get the list of devices again.

=| all the steps till step 9 work. then step 9, tomtom wont open >< THANK YOU SOOO SOOO SOOO SOOO much FOR THE HELP!!! I couldn't appreciate it any more.. The nokia E66 is one of the few that has intergrated GPS. =P
maybe E series phones are different from N series phones... but I'll ask you this, does it not have nokia maps? From my N85 phone experience: even if you don't use sim card, it will still use the built-in gps function with nokia maps. Also if the maps details aren't downloaded to the phone, you can always install it from the PC to the phone with the nokia maps loader program. Regarding whether whether they will charge you or not, just make sure to uncheck A-GPS, that is where they will charge you. Also, be reminded that GPS signal does not always appear right away. Waiting for a good signal to pick up takes a bit of time.
yeah, its got nokia maps, but then again it wont let me do anything unless I pay. I get a signal, but then cause I dont want to pay nokia to use the GPS~ sorry about the rotten english. what i mean is i get satelite signal and all, i just want a freeware IE tomtom, to use the GPS. (turn by turn voice navigation)
ohh now you mention the navigation =P yea they will want you to pay for that. I thought you just meant basic gps, no navi ><. sorry about that.
if you have a built in gps on ur phone u dont need internet to determine ur location. thats what the gps is for. i found tomtom for my xperia on google. did u try typing in tomtom for s60 download? also u mite wanna try gsmhosting.com. u mite find sum help there. i got navi from there when i used my w960 with sybiam uiq
i spent tooo many hours on google. thats when I came to PA anyway, I'be now figure how to get the tomtom working on the phone =] THANKS TO ALL THE HELP!!! only problem now is there are NO maps on my phone. =P a few more hours on google..... Would anyone be able to help me to look for a AUSTRALIA map for tomtom >< i really s*ck at google stuff ><
i managed to find the australia maps, but then when i run tomtom, it wont work with the other program. therefore it wont detect the internal GPS receiver. would you guys be able to find another source for the program >< THANkS
i also found this one [hide=1] TomTom Navigator 6 Overview: Easy to use: The simple installation and intuitive user menu gives you the perfect navigation experience. Clear and accurate spoken and visual instructions: Easy to follow route instructions and crystal clear 2D or 3D maps lead you from door-to-door whether you travel by car, by bike or on foot.

Navigate direct to contacts stored in your address book Code: http://rapidshare.com/files/130552177/TTM.v6.02.S60v3.rar [/hide] and one of the comments Code: yes it works fine on my e66 - thanks for the upload so im assuming that one works with your phone
i'm backk =\ the bt.sisx file works the GPSd.jar file works the tomtom.sisx file works JUST NOT TOGETHER for some reason >< so i load the BT, which sets the internal GPS as bluetooth (software item, tricks thephone.. somethingg like that) then i load GPSd which utilizes the internal GPS and finds the current position step 3 is to load tomtom. it loads and all, but when i conect via bluetooth it doesn't know of its curent position. GPSd is a program in itself, so i know it has detected the satelites cause it says my longitude and latitude Do you think you can source another link for the program? PS. the tomtom file from the above link wont work. i installed another tomtom (binpda cracked version 6.02) which runs,
I've tried looking for MGmaps, Garmin, Route 66 and TomTom. either I've been looking at the wrong editions or my phone is playing up. =\
