Came across this site. http://www.nav4all.com/site/IE/index.php I haven't got a mobile phone but it may be interesting for those who have.

I have looked at this product before, as it downloads data on the fly, and you are then charged by your service provider for GPRS traffic (which can be costly) I would recomend you invest in a GPRS traffic monitor package for the phone to keep a watching eye on what is going on.
At £2.50 per MB downloaded it could be quite a shock when the monthly bill drops through the letter box - Mike |

Not having a mobile phone I never read into it. Maybe, in view of your answer, it would be better to delete my post.

I don't think delete is required, it is a worthy addition to the mobile world of navigation, but until the mobile service providers come up with a realistic charge for GPRS/ UTMS delivery to the phone its going to prove costly, the charge per MB is set stupidly high - just thought a warning was in order for those that are un-aware of the internet connection fees the service providers charge.
