Early in 2010, Nokia announced that they would offer free turn-by-turn voice navigation for all its GPS-enabled smartphones no matter where in the world you are.
yes it is a free service. if your using Nokia Maps for example you can esily check your position (Remeber that the signal will not come green until you set the RIGHT date!), but if you using the mobile for navigating with car (Drive Mode in Nokia) then you will have to pay for it, usually Nokia mobile come with a free license (about 3 months) is you have already used that, then you have to pay per month or year (arroung 60-70) riyals ... good luck Khaled Shawky (Egypt)

Yes, Nokia is a China based company. Therefore, Nokia GPS systems are made in China. However, they may have manufacturing locations elsewhere as well.
The Nokia GPS module pretty much equals the Garmin in terms of navigation effectiveness. Nokia's screens are smaller so that is negative when just wanting to make a quick glance, but the Nokia's maps are a bit more detailed.

No The iphone does not have conventional GPS. However it does use cell signal to approximate location. This service is free as long as you have the iphone data package.
yes
The 5530 does not appear to have an integrated gps chip. This means to use the gps function, you will have to purchase an external bluetooth gps receiver such as the Nokia LD-4w or other alternatives you will find on sites such as expansys.com, play.com or even eBay.
Most cellular phone providers have GPS apps for navigation. These apps come at a cost that can be avoided with the Nokia N97. This device enables users to access Nokia's Ovi Maps, an app that provides users with GPS and certain downloadable maps for free. Enter "#0000#" on your keypad to see if you have the latest software. If not, run the Nokia Software Updater first. Then from the main menu and choose "Applications." Next, select "SW Update" and scroll down the list until you reach Ovi Maps. Select options and update to install this free app on your N97.
The signals that a GPS receiver or Sat Nav system uses to calculate its position are broadcast freely and globally by the GPS satellites orbiting earth 20,000Kms away. As there is no way for the GPS satellites to know who or what is receiving or using the signals that they broadcast, it would be impossible to charge people for their use. Much like free to air TV or radio. Subsequently, the GPS service is free. The hardware required to use it however will cost you.
