Hope this is the right place for this.

Does anybody know if there is any way of loading Memory Maps (or other)
onto the Nokia 6600.

I am sure there is a huge market out there for walking etc, without having to resort to using a dedicated gps (like Garmin).

At the moment there is no way to get OS maps on the 6600 or any other mobile phone.

This is an area that Memory-Map are aware of ( I have mentioned it a couple of times) but I have not heard about any intentions to create a phone edition yet.

Wouldn't storage space be a reason Memory Map haven't done it, Loaded a section of OS 1:50k region 2 SE England onto the SD Card and it took up 109.7mb of space.

Thanks for you help I am sure storage is a big issue.

Storage is no more of an isseu thsn with PDAs. You can get 2GB MMC cards for the 6600 so that is not a problem. It would more likely be an issue with processor power. But even then the 6600 can run TomTom without problems.

There are a few 6600 apps that allow you to scan and calibrate your own paper maps. They're not very easy to use but may fit the bill.

Thanks, thats great

This App is part way to what I need as it actually tracks you and
records your speed. O ly a matter of time before a commercial map
will be available.

Good news for all wishing to use OS maps on their Nokia 6600

Thanks to SJ, I purchased for $19 from the Handango site :-

www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?productId=159244

A programme called GPSXC. This programme allows you to download via
GPRS your present OS location and works a dream. Like all download maps you have of course to calibrate. You can also scan and download your own maps via the Map menu.

Hope this is of use.
