Do we still need GPS when we can use Smartphone?

[archielew]

Ginagamit ko ang aking Nexus 7 kung hindi ako pamilyar sa lugar na pupuntahan. Tatlo ang nakainstall kong Gps: Tomtom,Sygic at IGO Primo.

Ganda ng tablet holder mo Sir saan mo yan nabili? And how much?

oo nga. san nakakabili ng ganyan?

BTT: OK naman ang Google Maps. Actually pwede mo sya gamitin kahit hindi always ON ang data mo. Ako ginagawa ko search lang ng ruta, then pag nakapili na ng route, pwede na patayin yung data. OK na kahit GPS na lang naka-ON, gagana pa din kahit yung turn-by-turn voice guidance. Yun nga lang once na umiba ka ng daan, hindi sya mag-re-reroute, need mo i-ON ulit yung data para mag-reroute sya.

I am wondering bakit di sikat sa thread na to ang Nokia / Here Maps on Nokia SmartPhones for GPS Navigation.
Dahil ba sa hindi Android/iOS and OS ng Nokia

True Offline Turn by Turn Voice Navigation without the need for 3G Connection ang GPS sa Nokia SmartPhones.

Tested ko na to. Locally and Internationally.

Try niyo guys and you would not regret it although pahirapan ng makakita ng Symbian na Nokia. Karamihan Lumia (Windows Phoen na)
Nonetheless, those Lumias still have Offline GPS.

And Nokia supplies GPS to major car manufacturers.

Note that the Nokia bought by Microsoft is the cellphone business only and not the Network and Technology Division.

It isn't popular since trying to look for Nokia nowadays is even more rare than Cherry Mobiles or Alcatels. (Obviously, I'm exaggerating a bit.. hell, I might not even be).

Nokia selling their hardware business to Microsoft is the equivalent of Nike selling off their shoes to some other corporation. Kahit ano gawin mo, Nokia = Finnish handset maker. It's never about network and technology.

That is definitely exaggeration of course .

Maybe you need to do some research on which Nokia business is earning and which is not.

They have been in the Mapping and Location business since 2001, ahead from Google.
It even provides the navigation services and location solutions to other businesses such as Garmin, BMW, Oracle and Amazon.com.

There's no such thing as "offline GPS." I think you're confusing GPS with maps. You can always use GPS without a mobile connection. You just need to have maps saved in your phone -- yes, offline maps -- and the right GPS software, of course. And it's the same for all operating systems.

Ok. What Nokia have is a true offline voice guided turn by turn navigation.
