Smart2go or Navigon GPS Software

[SpyTheMan]

I have used HP iPaq 6515 with Handimap, Nokia E61 (with external bluetooth GPS) with Smart2Go, and Garmin Nuvi with Garmin Maps. For Navigation the Garmin wins hands down, but then it is a dedicated device for navigation. The Handimap software and Garmin software will give speed trap warnings for static speed traps, the Nokia does not have that information as far as I can tell. The Nokia userinterface is better than Handimap though. The bottom line is that the Nokia maps are good, but don't have the same coverage and detail. Their licensing model is favourable; you can even activate it for just a week or so while travelling, but then the cost per day is comparatively high.

No multipurpose device will beat a dedicated device, but then can one justify the expense of the dedicated device?

I am gettin Handymap Ai Gold 2morrow i hear it has the best coverage in SA and is the best when it comes to searchin for your destination that is SA. It should be so since it is made in SA. I don't trust Garmin since you have 2 pay every year for maps that are not really good. Handymap seems to be the only software with free map updates and a free PC version. If you know any other software that offers the same please tell me!

Does Navigon.Mobile.Navigator.v6.02.S60v3.SymbianOS9.1 work with the internal GPS on the n95 and are you sure it has SA maps?

I'm using Navigon on my P3300 and it's awesome, remember the P3300 uses the Serf Star III chip set and literally beats the satellites into submission, I get at least 10 tracks with my unit. I've compared my P3300 with my brothers N95 and the P3300 wins hands down, actually makes it looks quite archaic when using Navigon Mobile navigator, only down side so far is no safety camera info, although I'm sure you could just add POI's
