**Let me set you straight:
My comments are SPECIFICALLY related to the 6110 (which I own) and
peripherally, to the N95 (which I do not own). The 6110 is equipped with
maps for Australia and will provide voice directions free of charge. The
N95
(according to a mate who owns one) is similarly equipped. Personally, I
cannot vouch for the N95, though I trust my mate more than the idiot on
Cnet
who said this (about the 6110):
"Editors' note: after we'd finished reviewing the 6110 we discovered a
AU$50
hole in our pockets. In our eagerness to test this phone we'd unwittingly
enabled its assisted GPS feature, which requires access to the Internet to
work."

**As Roddles explained: Anyone with any nouse can obtain maps for free.
However, if you want legitemate access, you'll have to pay.

**The GPS function is free. The maps (outside Australia) are not. Only the
moronic reviewers at Cnet cannot figure out how to operate the technology
the claim to test. Why you would rely on such idiots is beyond me.
