Anyone tried smart2go? It's apparently free too...

And then there's MGMaps: http://www.mgmaps.com/
MGMaps is a third party Java application that can be used to view maps from Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, microsoft Live Maps, and Ask.com Maps. Despite the name MGMaps is not made by Google it is made by an independent developer and volunteer testers. Google has their own Java version of Google Maps but it is limited to certain countries and only Google's mapping data. Keep in mind that MGMaps is updated on a fairly regular basis. You can download and install the most recent version for free from its website MGMaps.com.

Then not strictly mapping, but geotagging pics for upload, there's Shozu: http://www.shozu.com/
The other third party application that can use N95's GPS is Shozu. Some of you that share photos and videos maybe already familiar with Shozu. Mainly Shozu is an S60 uploading application. It can be used to upload your photos and videos to various different photo and video sharing sites that Shozu has support for. Recently the feature to download audio and videos from certain sites was also added to Shozu that they call Zucasts (but are basically podcasts from afew specific sites). One of the features of the newest release of Shozu (version 3.1) is geotagging. What is geotagging you might ask? Geotagging is adding geographic specific tags to your photos that are uploaded to photo/video sharing sites. For example, Flickr supports Geotagging by default. When a photo is uploaded to Flickr with geotags it automatically places the photo on a Map showing the location where the photo was taken. Shozu is a free application/service. SisX packages can be downloaded and installed from its website Shozu.com.

I have opted to use Leaf Locate, as I already have a number of Garmin GPS devices. It is not really worth it, as you can't auto-navigate. You are basically continuously downloading maps as you drive from the Leaf server. Leaf also supply the Navigon Navigator 6, at about R1200-00. Expensive for a SD Card and DVD to enable mapping on your PC.
