Re: GPS

We've used the Nokia maps on the N8. That was great. You don't even need a data plan to use it. Since Nokia isn't doing that great nowadays, traditional GPS manufacturers don't need to worry about it.

Re: Toll charges on roads

I find that very strange. Do you cross the bridge around 7-8 am and 5-7 pm on weekdays? The bridge used to be jam-packed at those times when I was there.
