GPS and Mapping Guide for Beginners

Opinions on the best gps app for n95 8gb? It seems the data free ones can't be used as they require memory cards :S Any thoughts or options for me? Please let me know. I've read the whole thread. Thanks

I think you're wrong about this one. Although it doesn't have an SD slot and has fixed memory space, the 8 GB are separated. 1GB is considered as internal memory ("Phone memory"), while the rest works exactly as if you inserted an memory card in ("Mass memory").

Even the Phone suite tells you that some apps have to be installed to "memory card"...

I believe all the GPS software should work on 8GB version as it did on normal n95... (note that I didn't try Route 66 or CoPilot, but will do asap)

Please let me know if Route 66 works then! Thanks!

nokia user..
does any one know if there is a way to get TOMTOM to work with NOkia N serise\

From what I understand, the software works just fine but the current version requires a Bluetooth GPS. The forthcoming version will be able to use the internal GPS.

I have N95-1 from singapore. so i am in toronto now and it seems like i have problems with my GPS, it is always on the yellow light thing.

Also if i use amaze do i have to pay data charge? So if I stepe out of my house and i do not have wireless,i have to pay to use data eh?

[RogerPodacter]

yes amaze downloads all the maps from the internet in real time. so you need an unlimited data plan to use it.

I've seen maps for hong kong, but nothing for the mainland.

I got TomTom for my dad's 6120. It's really nice. I wish someone at Tom tom would get it to work on the N95.

Quick Question:

Do I Still need to download Nokia Map if I'm installing Route66?

[diegosalinas]

Cant' find the answer but assuming this to be the case.

Out of the box, the n95-3 has the Nokia Maps app but no maps loaded onto it, correct?

I would have to download the map of my choice otherwise all I am looking at is the globe?

On a related note, any mac users out there download maps onto their n95? I can only find instruction for using a PC to move maps onto the device...or is there an OTA method?

thanks

Nokia Maps won't work with R66, you have to get R66 maps.

[diegosalinas]

So Nokia Maps isnt for me...i assume it is an app that cannot be deleted from the n95 to free up space?

if you can, please let me know...I am a bit lost in the options of the phone

thanks very much for later
