The N95 makes a sweet Sat-Nav

Iv been using my N95 with route 66 mobile 7 for 3 weeks now and it has never let me down! Im very very impressed with it.

I used to have a TOMTOM in my car before my car and the tomtom was nicked (at the same time) and i have to say that there really isnt much in it from the N95 and a single GPS unit.

Nokia maps does suck but if you install route 66 on your phone you cant go wrong! As long as you have the lastest firmware on your n95 it will work fine.

I stick my n95 in my tank bag and away I go Smile

Iv had to install route66 on two of my friends phones now as they use it as their gps unit in their cars haha.

just wanted to say to anyone with a n95, install route66 you will be impressed Smile

I put the tomtom software on my Nokia e65 with a bluetooth dongle. Can't fault it.

Vodafone wanted £200 extra for me to have an n95. They're too big, the software's slow and they're so light you feel like you've got a child's toy.

My N95 8gb, has Garmin XT it's pretty pants in comparason to my Navman S70 ('ark at mr technology!) It takes ages to connect to a satellite and is pretty slow, i.e. turn left 10 yds past the turning.

mine is far from slow, its got real time and it does take a little longer to connect to the GPS signel but only like 30secs to 1 min to pin point where you are.

i can live with that

Ok a n00bish question really.

Got me an N95 and love the fact that its a Swiss army knife of a phone. Yeah if you want a saw then get a saw, if you want a proper knife then get a proper knife....as the phone goes, its damn good.

When I've played with the maps on the phone I gets billed as part of my internet downloads, now if I added the designated GPS software would this no longer be the case, or would I still be charged for using it for hours (miles) as a GPS?

Id imagine you carry on getting charged by the hour,
as it would be constanstantly relaying information about your route, as your route can change by just 1 turn respectivly Wink

The E90 is where its at, sports tracker makes for a good telemetry stand in too.

With Nokia maps 2.0 and the lastest firmware revisions that add assisted GPS these phones are getting pretty viable as alternatives to a proper satnav though Thumbs Up

I use TomTom6 on my XDA Orbit. I just ordered the Orbit 2 which like the first has a built-in GPS receiver and this one comes with Co-pilot software. I'll give that a go and if I don't like it I can always use TomTom on that too.

I don't like Nokias - the plastic they are made of is too soft and can be scratched with your fingernail - no good for my line f work.

I've got Route66 on my n95, and have not used it yet. I got it free by downloading it through torrents but i had to 'sign' it, which turned out to be rather difficult. It's not a legal coly, like. But I have maps for all of europe and it works! Pretty cool really, I just need a lighter socket under my seat now so I can keep it charged as i'm riding.

Anyone know how much Route66 is to buy?

And for Tomtom to work with the N95, you need to buy an external bluetooth GPS receiver. This gives better signal then the N95 but will cost you around £30 to buy the receiver.

Cheers, Daz.

I've just ordered an N95 on contract with O2, oddly enough. This is one of the main reasons for getting it. Can you *ahem* aquire the Tomtom software?
