I got Handymap AI GOLD and TomTom Navigator 6 already, how good will this one be?? Will give it a try! Actually I am looking for one for my dad's N70
PS, never mind, it's one of those "free" one which you need to be connected to the internet to use, I will rather wait for the google earth GPS navigation system..

Have just trialed the amaze program out and it looks to be promising! Very easy setup and not to bad to use either. Integrates with my Nokia 6110 Navigator perfectly, which has an inbuilt gps. Very interesting prospects for this program but will do some further tests when I’m on the move with it.
#4, Jarrod, yes the 6110 Navigator program is very good but it doesn't incorporate aerial photography like amAze does which is pretty cool. On the plus side, it’s totally free whereas the Route 66 application, inbuilt gps software for Nokia 6110 Navigator: You have to purchase all of the extras such as maps, if you travel to another country where it would come in most useful, voices, weather etc. I think Nokia are still finding their feet in terms of what supplier to use for the front end software for their gps phones. Eg: N95 vs 6110 Nav : Heard somewhere that they
#6, Cyberarmy, yes you do have to be connected to the internet but it does have gps support. Of course when and if Google gps mobile comes out I would be the first to jump onto that band wagon but wouldn't their system also utilize some sort of internet within their nav system? If you are talking about Google integrating their aerial photographs into the nav system. I think they would have to stream it to the phone as you couldn't store all that much info on the phone. You would want live information anyway, not in terms of the aerial photographs, but say for instance weather, live traffic reports?
Would love to see a feature such as a live update presence system, so you could see your friends exact location on their gps enabled phone. But all of what i said above would need either 3G/HSDPA phones to function properly.

Installed it on my N95 - works and doesnt seem too bad. The search function doesnt work all that smoothly though, I live in an old road and it doesnt seem to be able to find it...
Still waiting for it to lock, every few minutes the woman is like " cannot find gps satellites"
be interesting to see how well it works once it has a lock....have to meet someone this morning, so going to try use it to navigate me....

It looks Ok, but Nav4all has been doing this for about two years already. It even has screen text and voice navigation in Afrikaans.
