During the holiday that I recently spent abroad, I was very useful GPS feature My phone Nokia N82.
Nokia Maps - After purchasing Gate5 from Nokia has come the development of Nokia Maps (arrived Beta version 3) then provides that the GPS functionality is integrated in most if not all of the terminals S60 Rev3. Surprisingly, the Nokia Maps also is introducing the S40 terminals that are offered to a much less sophisticated.
This program offers an immediate advantage over everyone the opportunity to download Nokia Maps from the server without having to buy separately. Nevertheless, the cost is able to be a little out of the market. To take advantage of navigation in fact we only offer the possibility to achieve an restricted license (you can buy 1 month, 2 months or a year with a maximum cost of 130 €). The license is not limited in time activation but also by geographical area!
In my case I was quite cheated by Nokia promotion that allowed me to activate it 3 months of free navigation, but only for Italy!! Upon arriving in Sweden the phone told me that I was out of coverage and that if I had to activate the Swedish license by paying a special license. All ancillary features such as city guides and traffic information is also charged separately. It is not a big surprise that Nokia are installing MAPS in all terminals it produces, such as Apple with iTunes tries to take advantage of navigation licenses.
- Note: POI tourists are not very up to date for Latvia and Lithuania.
- Note 2: try Nokia Maps for free a week with this link
TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 - The theory does not work with tomtom GPS for Nokia phones. Then in practice advise everyone to download an illegal version in which the support has been integrated GPS Nokia (You can find a bit of appertutto).
The superiority of the TomTom is in the full license (130 Euro), but here you pay for maps ... You notice immediately that the phone battery lasts less. Here too the POI of the Baltic states are inadequate and it seems to me that the Tomtom is less suitable for pedestrian navigation in the Nokia Maps (and for the licensing issue that I could not try on the road). Instead
is very immediate to the navigation system that addresses the Nokia Maps and Garmin XT is not immediate and slow release.
flaws: sometimes the program avoids roads and suggests paths longer than necessary, unfortunately, happens right under my house. It should be a problem with maps.
Garmin Mobile XT - It 's another program navigation from Garmin. This also supports native GPS functionality to our internal Nokia. The look is like Teletubbies, very plastic with the colors of Windows XP. Indicative of this is the opportunity to replace the cursor with the little drawing of a Toy car (therefore recommended ai bambini, un po meno agli autisti)
Si possono configurare nel dettaglio molte funzioni e opzioni ma non presenta punti vincenti rispetto alla concorrenza. Ho trovato particolarmente fastidioso il fatto che a differenza di tutti gli altri non è possibile abbassare il volume della voce guida (e se è possibile non è facile trovare il modo). La voce presenta istruzioni chiare ed abbastanza precise. Anche il sistema di rintracciamento degli indirizzi è il più complicato di tutti e tre i software commerciali e mi ha lasciato più che perplesso.
Problemi: Il programa calcola il percorso più breve, non il più veloce! Quindi in città è più che normale che tenda ad evitare le tangenziali and paths more logical.
The licensing system is based on the purchase of maps such as the TomTom and the cost is the lowest among the three ($ 149 for a license in life, not a year as with the Nokia Maps).
Goggle Maps - Google maps is the solution to free navigation. Endorses the use of the POI with the Nokia Maps application and provides the function of calculating percorsoquest'ultima unfortunately is not supported by the navigation assistance with voice step by step ... is therefore not a real browser.
The biggest problem is that the Google Maps program uses a lot of bandwidth to view the map and supports the engine to google to calculate the paths. This means that if we do not have a flat rate data plan can hardly be used in a practical way the program.
Conclusions: For my vacation I used a mixture of Nokia Maps (for walking and mark points of interest) and TomTom to find the direction in case of loss. If Nokia would be less greedy with the licenses would probably be my favorite solution.
