Cool, great find! - think I'll dig out my old N80 and get hold of a cheapy bluetooth GPS receiver and a PAYG sim card. Shame they're not planning an iPhone version

Cheers,

Here's how to install on the N95:

Transfer the .sis files to your phone, view them in 'File Manager' and just click on them, that will start the installer.

You have to either manually download the tracks or download through a wifi connection or through the mobile network. Manually downloading and putting on the location specified is easier !!

That's because the iPhone is for girls :lol:

Just joking great bit of kit, my bro has one and I thought it was great.

Just realised, I don't even need a SIM card as the N80 works in Offline mode without a SIM even in it. Result

Just tried it with a Nokia N80 and a BlueNEXT iNAV bluetooth GPS receiver......

And it doesn't work.... Gives an error message saying it can't contact the GPS receiver.

Tom Tom works fine with this GPS by the way....

Gareth, I hope you have better luck with your N95's internal GPS (although have you noticed they recommend external receivers over internal?).

Good job it's free :roll:

Cheers,
Alex

tried it on the way home from work yesterday, and it recorded the whole route home perfectly, only quibble is the amount of time it took to get sat lock, but the n95s notorious for that anyway so i dont think its the software, shame im not going tonight itd be a laugh to try it out.
