Yes it's free, unless you want to use voice navigation with Nokia Maps ... there is a hacked version around to fix that though.

Also make sure you turn off assisted gps.

Why does every body say turn off assisted GPS. I have checked my prepaid account on many occasions and the charge has never been more than one cent.

With A-GPS turned off it can take minutes to lock on, with A-GPS turned on it only takes a matter of seconds. Surely you can afford one cent, and not sit there waiting waiting.

I have attached a small snippet of my prepaid bill confirming the above. These entry's are from when I was testing BinPDA's GPSd for TomTom 6.02 using internal GPS

Some people worry about excessive data bills ... turning it off is a safeguard for them.

I have no problems getting a fix with A-GPS turned off it only takes a matter of seconds .... If I need it I'll turn it on.
