Just either open "maps" or "gps data". You may need to download your map of india. google and yahoo allso both have free map applications and there are a couple other ones. I have no idea who will give the most reliable and accurate maps of india though.

Hi

Frist of all, you need to download the Nokia map loader software from Nokia - Download Nokia Maps & Map Loader Mobile Phone Software for PC and install it on your PC. Follow instructions given alongwith it and download India maps to your n95 phone.

After that, you will need to have already subscribed or need to subscribe to a packet data connection like GPRS from your svc provider. now, you are ready to use gps on your n95 in India. :)

That is required only for using Assisted GPS (A-GPS), it is not required for the GPS to function if you have already downloaded to the phone the maps you need. It will take longer to lock to a position without A-GPS, but it will still work.

Exclamation

Query @Jigar's Comment : Can you navigate onto that map ? I see the Nokia Maps Coverage which still shows India in NON Navigable Maps Section ?
