There are two types of GPS
Navigation Software:
- Maps stored on Handset/
Memory Card where no Data
connection is required. A third
party may provide this solution.
- Maps stored on Server where
all mapping information is
streamed to the handset over
a data connection (charges
may apply). This has the benefit
of the maps being regularly
updated and can contain
other useful information such
as petrol prices, parking and
weather.
Note : GPS service has an error
tolerance and it is unable to work in
buildings or underground.
