This cant be the only way to think about this can it? It seems like you know a great deal, so why not explore it more? Make it more accessible to everyone else who might not agree with you? Youd get a great deal a lot more people behind this should you just stopped making general statements. I dont really know what you talking about right here.

I do fair bit of traveling and I am interested in photography so the GPS function looked really attractive. (I want to know where I am in strange cities and want to geotag images down the track.) I looked on the nokia website on map coverage (http://europe.nokia.com/A4513026) and see a very long list of countries. However it turns out according to the Nokia shop that many of these countries re not available at all. e.g. Vietnam and all the maps listed below were not available on the maploader. The tech people in the Nokia shop said that they were also surprised when they discovered this major difference between what has been advertised as available and what is actually available. Is this a massive case of false advertising by Nokia or is there some other explanation? The maps below were listed as "non-naviagable" which means the software won't tell you how to get from A to B. That is fine for me as I only need to know where I am. (Actually the website has changed and the "Non-Navigable" heading removed, implying all the maps are navigable, which is doubtful?) So unless I and the Nokia shop people are mistaken, the map coverage may be substantially less than advertised. Anyone with any experience of using non-navigable maps in the regions listed? Some of the Countries Listed Afghanistan,Armenia,Azerbaijan,Bangladesh,Bhutan,Brunei, Darussalam,Cambodia,Cyprus,North Korea,India,Indonesia, Iran,Iraq,Israel,Japan,Jordan,Kazakhstan,Kyrgyzstan,Laos, Lebanon,Macau,Mongolia,Myanmar,Nepal,Palestine,Oman,Pakistan Philippines,Qatar,Sri Lanka,Syria,Taiwan,Tajikistan,Thailand East-Timor,Turkey (part of which is not covered by the navigable map),Turkmenistan,Uzbekistan,Vietnam, Yemen etc (more countries listed) Respectable well founded companies do not have to resort to false advertising to make sales. So unless Nokia are in some sort of financial trouble I can barely believe they would resort to false advertising of map coverage to sell GPS phones.
