    Depends on your contract, but probably

    Hey dude, just recently got one of these myself and was a little disappointed with the Satnav options.
    The pre installed utility will let u do neat little things like find places of interest, GPS location, and will calculate routes for you and show them via a list/map on screen. Which is free.
    However… if you want voice guided navigation with on-screen instructions this will cost you extra…a lot extra! The problem is that they don’t sell the package as a one off, it’s a monthly/annual subscription (I can’t remember the price off hand) which is available via the Nokia Software market.
    However I do remember that at the prices they charged I would be cheaper going to Halfords and buying a regular Satnav for about the same price?
