Nokia S60 Navigation Software on eBay - Dodgy?

I remember I read something about it on Whirlpool but I just can't find it — so let me try to ask the experts here :)

The story is. I recently bought a Nokia phone with built in GPS and Nokia Mapping software, which has an expensive navigation subscription add-on. Now I am willing to pay for a separate GPS navigation software suitable for my Nokia S60 phone, so I hit eBay…

Search for "nokia gps software" on eBay Australia

… and there are lots of them with voice navigation and latest Australian map, at around $30-$40 AUD range with free delivery, i.e. much cheaper than "proper" alternatives like Route66 or Garmin Mobile XT. Well, that would definitely ring the alarm bell:

  • No brand. No title for the actual software so there's no way I can find independent research on these products.
  • All the feedbacks to the seller shown as "private" for the products. WTF is that?

Anyone has experience with those GPS navigation software on eBay?

  • They sell hacked version (Read: pirated). If you dont mind about that, you can do bit of research to get the same free from net. I think garmin legal one is about 99$.

    • Alright. I was going to ask — how can people sell pirated software on eBay?!! Then I remembered. Hey, it's eBay
