You need to download the latest firmware update for your GPS so it can read SDHC cards. Even then, I am told that nothing faster than a Class 2 card will work, assuming your GPS is more than a year old.

You can't get a CDMA Nokia phone that runs Ovi Maps, as far as I know.

However, no, the phone part doesn't have to be on. (If it is, you'll get traffic updates and a bigger database to search for POIs from, though.)

I have a TomTom 950 Go that came with Australian maps and the option to download one other country for free so I chose the USA maps which had to be put on a mini-SD due to their size. When I am driving in the USA, will the TomTom automatically shift to the USA maps? Can I pre-load the addresses I need before we go? I can't get the TomTom to display the USA maps when I am in Australia.

Redondo- For my last trip to Europe, my unlocked Nokia E71 north american version worked beautifully with the maps loaded prior to the trip WITHOUT any data plan prior to or during the trip. The E71 is a quad band phone (no CDMA) that worked very well for navigation as well as round the world phone calls with Gizmo (now part of Google Voice) VOIP phone calls using WiFi - calls cost about the 2 cents a minute which is way cheaper than AT&T, etc. For emergencies, I bought a Lebara (sp?) SIM card in Switzerland for about $10. With the WiFi connection, I was also able to surf the 'net, do e-mails, check flights, weather, etc. So, I needed only one phone to do it all - no need to lug a lap top or a separate GPS around.

somewhere on the TomTom is a icon that says maps, when you click on that you can pick your map,

at least thats how you do it on a 910

and I was able to load addresses on the other map from home.
