RAM, 06 Feb 2010Hi Panky, Can you help me out from the following I bought N5230 one month back and so far ... moreThis memory error is software problem.

take you phone to nokia care they will update the software for free.

After that just install the ovi maps from nokia site & then intall the India map from Nokia map loader which you again get from nokia site.

to use GPS there is no need of GPRS or 3g, although for some functions it requires.

but for navigation, you can do without GPRS and 3 g.

just do the above & enjoy the free GPS in your phone.

take care bye !

Hi Panky,

Can you help me out from the following
I bought N5230 one month back and so far I have not installed any software in my phone and even Memory card.

1. How to use the GPS and should I download OVI Maps from the Nokia Website and install it otherwise will it be downloaded by Nokia priority dealers.

2. Whenever I start the GPS application my phone shows me MEMORY IS NOT ENOUGH TO START THE APPLICATION.

3.Should I activate the GPRS for GPS.

Regards

BAD NEWS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT PURCHASED NOKIA 5230 YET IN INDIA.

Nokia has stop the production of 5230 for India
& replaced it with 5233(No GPS & 3G). price value of 5233 is Rs.7200/-. I have confirmed the same from various retailers of Delhi.

So go & grab you copy of Nokia 5230 till the stock last, otherwise you will loose the free GPS & 3g.

take care, Enjoy !

What? Don't believe me, fine read this : http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_blesses_all_its_sm­artphones_with_free_voiceguided_navigation-news-­1397.php

Nokia made all its GPS phone Navigation Edition, now they come with "lifetime voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation through Ovi Maps" and this is all "for free".

srk, 05 Feb 2010i am new to GPS i have read some of the post regarding the instruction of installing ovi maps,... moreThat's because 5233 doesn't have an in-built GPS chipset. http://www.nokia.co.in/find-products/products/52­33/specifications

If you own 5233 you wont be able to get voice navigation on your phone.
But still you can get Ovi Maps. Only you won't be able to get location based information.
