Today I made a small tour with my motorbike and the N900 in my jacket. After a while a friend called me to meet. So I thought I'll try the Maps application to get the shortest way to him.

Since I was in the countryside (south bavaria), there was no 3g. My N900 was not even able to find my position even with sun and a blue sky (except the invisible ash cloud). Anyway, that's not my question.

Even if my position could be found: Finding a city/street with the N900 needs an internet connection. Why??? Is there a way to download this information to my phone? (The Symbian phones can do everything offline).

Thanks for the help.

SORRY to disappoint you. But it is imposible at the moment. To get a locked on gps you'll need to install either GPPjini or Location app. Else you can use the widget. Otherwise you'll need internet.
