Is there a way to download maps on this phone that will work offline? I intend to use the wifi for web and not data.

Hi friend As far as I know,Most of the maps can work only if GPS location is on. Yes you can use maps if you are using wifi or wimax but the moment you switch off wifi it will stop showing the details!

Maps require internet connection but if u lan to use wifi you shouldn't have any problems. I can use my maps app while using my wifi connection. But have to say that I personally don't like new HP Maps app... The old Google Maps app was whole lot better.

Yes the games works just fine without WiFi...at least the ones I have downloaded do. Hope this helps.

Navigation is by Nokia, excellent with one mapping application and one specifically tuned for auto use. Phone Has A-GPS and doesn't need network to operate if regional maps are pre-downloaded (useful to save data while traveling) Video is by Music+Videos app by WindowsThe phone is completely unlocked and will take any Sim card. For instance when I travel internationally I swap 2 Sim, never had any issues.

No, you don't need a data plan. You can use the maps stored on your memory card for offline access. A better option may be to buy Garmin mobile XT software with maps and load it on your n85. It will be cheaper than paying $10 every month to Nokia to get their voice guided navigation, which isn't all that good anyway. Loading Garmin will make your n85 as good as, or better than most dedicated GPS units.

If I do not add data plan, can I still surf the web in the place without wifi?How do they charge if I need to go to the web for few minutes in the area without wifi?

You cannot use internet on the go with this TouchBook because it is not capable to use a SIM card, this tablet works with WI-FI only.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isAmazonFulfilled;=&isCBA;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&seller;=AYSI9CNL93O4X

I loved this phone, but I never had data on it. I believe that you can connect to the internet, although I am not sure what the cost of doing so would be. I finally got a smart phone, but it is costly to have internet. Hope this helped.

By their nature, Google Maps and Apple Maps require they be online to download the map. The XGPS will provide a GPS location to offline map apps such as MapsWithMe or Waze, and continuously update your position regardless of 3G/4G data connection.

This uses Bluetooth. Apple Maps uses WIFI though, so without WIFI, the map image is not shown. Suggest downloading MAPS.ME. These are downloadable maps that do NOT need WIFI. The Bad Elf works great with MAPS.ME!

Did you purchase this phone and are you able to use WIFI and/or GPS without activation?

You can download Google maps/navigation app from Google Play Store. Great app to download.

Phone has a built in navigation that works with google maps. It should work with any data plan.

You don't have to sign up for (in this case purchase) a data plan with this phone and it will still work on wifi. But you won't have any access to data when you aren't in wifi range.

I use an iPod. Do not need a voice or data plan with it. I think you need to use a GPS program that has all the maps installed when you download the app. ie Magellan Roadmate.

It is connected to the internet via wifi. I thought when I tap on 'My position' it should download the required map data automatically using the internet. But it stays still and always shows Germany. I'm tired of trying. I decided to return it.
