February 8th, 2009 07:03 AM #322The E90 was Nokia's 2nd phone with a built-in GPS receiver after the N95. The E90's operating system, processor and receiver chipset are also the same as the N95's ... so GPS-wise, any remark regarding the N95 within the thread should be applicable to the E90.

Get the Garmin app and the freewebs Philippine map.

February 22nd, 2009 06:23 PM #328GPS features are useless without having a local map of the area you will be using it in. So if you are trying to navigate in Metro Manila, make sure your device has the updated map for Metro Manila. Originally Posted by testament11

Just a list of text directions like which road to take, where to turn to, etc.
When you're ready (to pay for it
) ... get Garmin Mobile XT. It has one of the best routing algorithms out there, which is a commonly overlooked factor for GPS buyers. You see, it's not as simple as figuring out the shortest route from one point to another ... anybody can do that with a paper map and pen. Rather, t has to give you the best route according to your preferences.
Although Garmin doesn't have a detailed map for the Philippines, Garmin users here have been using the freewebs map which is the best so far ... and it's free!
Di ko binebenta Garmin ha? It's just that the others have no map for the Philippines. I prefer using Tomtom and iGO.

February 23rd, 2009 10:01 AM #332I have had Google Maps on my GPS equipped phone and it's nowhere even close to the GPS "experience". Originally Posted by StraightSix

Fortunately for me, I found the software's website where I purchased the latest version of the software & map.
My Nokia 6110 Navigator uses NAVfone:

Unfortunately I don't think they have a version for the iPhone.Last edited by ghosthunter; February 23rd, 2009 at 10:04 AM.

February 23rd, 2009 02:28 PM #335You can try NAVfone. The link is posted in my previous message. Its Symbian S60 compatible as well as Windows Mobile, etc. It works well for my Nokia 6110 Navigator. Hopefully it would work with yours. Originally Posted by jatcos

February 23rd, 2009 04:26 PM #336Sir GH great link thanks! I too also have the 6110, can I ask how much it cost you to get the maps for Pinas? Also how is the charging calculated? via 3G usage? Originally Posted by ghosthunter
Kasi on the website of Navfone from the link you provided earlier it states the following:
NAVFone Pro is a 100% onboard solution. Since all information is on the city map data and it does not communicate to the mobile network, which means zero operating cost to you!
NAVFone Pro includes the new GprX? technology for 3G & GSM networks. In supported cities, when you cannot use the GPS (e.g. indoors), GprX? provides an approximate location fix based on the cellular network.
Sorry po, but Im just a little confused. I just want to make sure I understand the whole solution before trying to download anything

February 23rd, 2009 05:24 PM #337GPS uses the US military GPS satellite signals, not your 3G or GPRS signals. In fact you can still use the GPS feature of your 6110 even if you have taken out the simm card. Originally Posted by snatchmeister
The software and map of choice(s) is saved within the phone itself. So when you need to use the GPS navigation software, just launch the application anytime, no worries about needing a data connection because you don't need it.
GPSX is a feature where supplemental location data is taken from celfone towers. Unfortunately for us, Globe and Smart seems to prefer to keep their celfone tower location data secret. So you can just turn off this feature and rely to pure GPS signals to navigate. The only time you'll have problems navigating via pure GPS is when you are driving through areas with tall buildings like Makati business district. Otherwise, signal strength is decent even when I was driving under the Skyway (signals came from the sides too, not just from directly above). It guided me from some place deep in Alabang back to SSH.
Price... well, maps are US$25, update of software ... I don't remember. Product activation will require for the phone to send a single international SMS message for the activation code to be sent to your phone directly.
The site will require you to register your phone before you can begin transaction. It will keep tabs of your downloads.

February 23rd, 2009 09:04 PM #339Did you get your "free" copy of NavFone packaged with your mobile phone?
I tried following the link for the WM version but in the end it was asking for an activation key by calling them on the phone ... WM6.1 also gave a message that it probably won't run since it was written for an earlier version of WM. And the price puts me off ... $100 for 4 places in the country is a bit stiff.
Nothing more I can add on the iPhone ... except that because of a clause on its licensing requirements, we may never see a full-blown navigation software for it. I got rid of mine the moment I got my XDA Serra, and I'm glad i did.

February 23rd, 2009 11:21 PM #340EGPS works with my i780. Using My Location in Google Maps, it was able to tell me my approximate location, based on the nearest cell site. You can't use this to navigate, though and it requires an active GPRS/3G connection for data access. Originally Posted by ghosthunter
Not as practical as when using the built-in GPS receiver, EGPS has very poor accuracy (approx. 500 - 1,000 meters) and the My Location dot in Google Maps only indicates the cell site you're currently associated to. But this just proves that cell sites do provide their coordinates when queried by the phone.
I turn this on only if satellite acquisition is taking too long... which is seldom.
