Please provide me the way by which i can use this application and also provide the steps to use it. I have Airtel connection on my phone, thanks in advance.
First of all you need to call to your operators customer care and tell them to activated Gprs on your phone, the activation most probably takes two to three hours, after activating the gprs service on your sim then ask them to provide mobileoffice setting for your phone. Once you get the settings save it on your phone and try to connect it to the internet using your phones browser, if it gets connected to the internet then you can go to the navigation application and navigate.
If you want to use navigation on your nokia 5230 then you need some setting that is neccessary for the navigation on you phone. It is stated as first of all you need to set the internet on your phone through your operator and then do the following setting on your phone.
- Go to the Menu and then

Just set the following setting in your navigation application

- Roaming warning: Set the device to notify you when registering to a network other than your home network.
