[Evolution_Ends_Here]

Hey, on Saturday i Just Got the N96, i was thinking of getting the iphone but i ended up getting the N96, anyway does anyone know any better GPS Applications instead of using Nokia Maps, ive tried seaching for them but haven't had any luck.

yeah i've been looking at getting one of these, i've had the 6600 for about 5 years now no probs, and really like the symbian s60 OS.
there are a couple of symbian series 60 forums round, i used to be on a couple but it's been a while and i think they've all changed now, but you can get free software on a bunch of them.
i picked up some neat apps back in the day, and that was before piracy took off so massively with torrents.

Got TomTom working fine on my N95-8gb. You just have to do a bit of a search on how to "get it working" with the internal GPS.

Have found that the internal GPS can be a bit flakey inside a car especially if it isnt attached to a bracket on the windscreen, so I use an external bluetooth GPS from my old E65 and that works a treat, also doesn't chew down the battery as much.

yeah tomtom is the way to go bit confusing to set up but once its up and running its good

I just got McGuider from ebay (around $35) and it is excellent. I am unable to use the internal GPS however. I just can't get a lock but when I switch on "Assisted GPS" it works a treat. I will be getting a bluetooth GPS puck in the near future. I also found that the battery didn't last very long at all using the GPS and I now have a car charger to use for this purpose.

I love my N95, they are a great phone, if the just had a few of the sony walkman phone features it would be unbeatable.

Nokias won't allow the internal GPS to be used by another application without a "hack". You might need to to a bit of hunting to see if someone has got one working for an N96.

i had Garmin Mobile XT working on my phone but it wasn't calculing the route probably plus it didn't have the austrlian map on aswell, its reallly weird compared to Nokia Maps anyway ive still got Nokia Maps free for 75 Days til i have to find a new product.

Ok i really need a new Application for my gps on my Phone, Nokia Maps has just expired on my 3 Month Trail That i had on my n96, i don't plain on paying $125 pyr On this, now what a good application that works with N96, plus has the same featuures as Nokia Maps.

finally got a gps program on my phone, i got Garmin Mobile XT on my n96 toke me a while to get all the items including

Alerts
Speed Camera
Red Light

Australia Map

Only Downside to Garmin Mobile XT, the search is very annoying and plus it drains the battery easily, but i will have to put up with it, i'm not forking out $125 a year For Nokia Maps.
