Cheap alternative to Google Maps + GPS

Maybe others don't have this problem, but sometimes when I come out of a pub/club in London after celbrating another glorious Scottish footballing victory, I have no idea where I am. It's nice to rely on Google maps and my GPS to help me out (assuming my diminished brain functions are up to it), but on the Orange 30MB tariff that blows goats.
Has anyone found a nice cheap/free alternative that would give us city street maps in storage and integrate with the GPS too?
Ferg.

GPS starts at $99 USD for a full blown system. then it's yours for life. sure it's not free, but it's not that bad either.

If your brain is not up to snuff, then perhaps you should not be driving... Call a Cab.

Perhaps limit your post football rampages to pubs that offer free WiFi?

By the way that's Fergus with the odd colored (mis-spelled for the US market) shoes

Hehehe. Sorry, I neglected to say that I need the software primarily for going by foot and tracking my position!
I find that TomTom aint that hot when you're going by foot.
Like the pic Mike. Hopefully we'll get some more similar ones from Switz/Austria. ;-)

If I were you, I am English and probably wont have to travel much after events in Moscow , I would cough up to Orange for a SIM unlock and then stick a T-Mobile PAYG SIM in it and be happy that for a maxiumum of £1 per day I would have "unlimited" mobile data.
Memory Map uses offline maps but they are £££ unless you go looking in the dark side of the Interweb. If you have Autoroute on your PC you can install Pocket Streets. These last 2 options involve you manually preinstalling the map areas you will need. I have found that the size of map needed is directly proportional to Alcohol intake

Unlocked ATT Tilt / HTC Kaiser For Sale

Ok guys I end up getting the lady her iPhone she wanted back and looking to move this Phone. I am not in a hurry to trade so I will be looking for offers.
It comes with original box, 2 stylus, mini usb expander, manuals, installation cd, screen protecter since day 1. It is FULLY UNLOCKED and ready for any SIM. As you can see on the screen I have my T-Mobile SIM in and works flawlessly. It has had a Screen Protector on it since day 1 also. No lowballing please.
I can also include a 4GB MicroSD Filled with other great Programs for you and Full On Garmin Mobile XT GPS Program with a Full North America Map for an additional $35 so you wont have to pay for the monthly GPS Service because I have GPS Unlocked and running. It is the Full Turn by Turn with Voice Commands. Just google Garmin Mobile XT if your looking for all its features.

Can you post some larger pics? I can hardly see these.

ive been researching this phone the past couple days, and im highly interested in upgrading from my dash to the kaiser. im in the market for a new smartphone a) cause i am bored with my dash, done everything ive wanted to it and b) its slow. i have a low budget, id say 300 tops and everywhere ive looked to buy this phone is at least 400. ive tried lookin for promo codes and all that fun stuff, nothin. i dont want to buy one off ebay cause you never know what youre gettin off there. I have t-mobile and i dont know wether to get this or wait to get the diamond/touch pro... bottom line is i like this phone alot and im ready for a new one...

if i could have waited, i would get the touch pro..
at least from what i think i know

still avalible?
Is the phone still avalible? What would be a reasonable offer at this time if so?
Thanks,
Loretta

diamond 2 in the uk

i'm currently on orange and my contract is now up, i'm now due an upgrade, so after some thought i have decided i'm going to have a touch diamond 2 over the touch hd.
over the weekend i went round in the shops of orange vodaphone & O2 looking for one of these phones on contract, but while in each store staff all told me the same thing, they were not getting the phone.
can this be right does anyone know which uk network providers will be carrying this phone?

I saw somewhere on the internet that Orange was getting it, then other Uk networks would as well, but I don't know if this was wishful thinking or the poster had heard for real!?!
See here: http://www.articlesbase.com/cell-phones-articles/htc-touch-diamond-2-sim-free-873916.html

On Online, two Retailers sell contracts (As I know)
1. Mobilephonesdirect
2. Expansys
Two retailers sell T-mobile and Vodafone contracts and Mobilephonesdirect has more tariffs than Expansys.

Carphonewarehouse and Phones4U list it as coming soon (in May), so u don't have to wait long hopefully.

Mobilephonesdirect seem to have good deals, better than Expansys, anyone have direct experience of MPD, too good to be true (or not?)?

T-Mobile are getting there version of the TD2 and its called the T-Mobile MDA Compact V

Yeah i got mine from MPD, ordered on Friday and arrived on Saturday....Can't complain
It was free with a t-mob contract £30 a month with 800 minutes any network and unlimited texts....added the unlimited internet (excluding VOIP) for an extra £6 a month (think it's limited to 3gb but i can still use my phone as a modem for my laptop which i'm doing now) If it's not enough, then you can get the upgrade to the max for 12 a month and then you get 10gb a month

what have you upgraded to?

my kaiser is having problems the keys are getting worn out and i think it is time for a new phone. so my question is what phone have you bought next after the kaiser?

bump anybody?

I'll bite
I got the TP2 yesterday and love it

I still have my Kaiser

Cool. So just keep the kaiser and give me the TP2.

I am waiting for the next Windows Mobile 7 released
At that time, probably TEGRA or SnapDragon phones will become broadly available !
You know, (my) the dream phone, TEGRA/SnapDragon, 4" (or at least 3.5") screen, thin, superb battery .... Windows Mobile 7.
I am pretty much happy with current Kaiser, WinMo 6.1 ... at least it is working fine .. internet browsing via opera-mini (love it!) ... GPS via TomTom ...

I first upgraded to a Fuze... Went back to the Tilt... Then I upgraded to the Touch Cruise *FM Radio is cool... but went back to the tilt... Now I upgraded to the LG Incite.. and again... Went back to the Tilt.. .I really think I would LOVE the TP2.. but..uhhh.. I am poor after buying a Fuze, Touch Cruise, and a LG Incite... lol I still have the Incite if anyone is wants to buy it.. Liike New, Unlocked, and custom 6.1 rom installed..

I upgraded to the Fuze and haven't really looked back. The TP2 does look nice, but I doubt I'll have money to buy it since I won't qualify for an upgrade.
I still have my Tilt that I use as a backup and flashed WM6.5 on it. If I'm going somewhere that something could happen to my Fuze, I'll bring my Tilt instead.
I do wish we could get aGPS working on the Tilt like it does on the Fuze now, but even with the registry settings I think we would need an updated radio that recognizes the commands.

Why can't google get ordering right?

Once again google ordering system as failed me. My all access music at 7.99 was doing fine billing to my T-Mobile account well not anymore it had a problem and where it could not renew and lost the special pricing within a few days. So I give up spent 2 hours trying to work with google to fix this and I can't ever get the pricing back. And my account renew last month fine.
Another even better issue is I have ordered about 30 nexus 4's and most were from the play store but at some point I found it cheaper to just order a replacement and I didn't have to pay tax saved like 30 bucks. I would just not send back the original wait to get billed. Well lets just say there is a about 3,000 dollars (I never paid for them I know) worth of phones just pending it's been like 6 months or more for most. I thought it had to do with a expired card which is not expired (this is related to the music all access problem I had to update card info) even with a brand new card orders still have not moved.
I'm done with paying google for any services they are too big to have such a stupid system.

Let me get this straight...
You ordered a few replacements and failed to send the original phones back to Google. At which point they kept billing you full price for the new phones they were sending you, accruing to "$3,000" that you still owe Google. Meanwhile, you don't understand why they will no longer honor your $7.99/month all access pricing after your last $7.99 payment failed. And in the end you are angry that Google can't get their "ordering" right?
Your logic is astounding...

fix YOUR own issues of not paying what YOU owe, or google isnt going to be the only one thats ignoring you.

Lol good that you are done with Google services. They deserve better buyers. Now pay what u owe Google before start whining again.
