Sorry, i have kinda asked this question before but thought i'd try again.

What is the best free sat nav programme currently available for the N95? I really liked the one that is preloaded on the phone but it appears you have to pay £45 a year to use it : - (

I downloaded Nav4all however I don't like it. The directions seems fine however i haven't been able to get it to either display a map with the directions or provide voice navigation. I'm not that bothered about voice commands but i would like one which actually shows a map.

Cheers for any help.

I have got Nav4All and it works perfect for me, maybe you havnt set your gprs correctly?
The other free gps program I have got is "amAze GPS", maybe you could try that and see if you like it.

Amaze gives voice instructions but no proper map. Just an arrow on screen showing turn left or straight ahead etc...

did tomtom ever make a compatible version of their sat nav for the N95 by the way?

if so you *could* get a free version of that if you put your mind to it!

I didn't think of that. Well if these places charged a reasonable amount of money for what is basically a maps and voice package I wouldn't have to resort to that.

Exactly what I think - I did look at buying it for my nokia n73, but it was about £130 just for the software on a 256mb memory card! I could of bought a tomtom itself for about £150 back then (18 months ago)

I'm waiting to see how much it will be for iPhone (if/when it's avilable) i'm hoping it won't cost more than £65 or I will be looking out 4 a download of it...

Google TomTom.With.Internal.GPS.Support and then fire up your favourite torrent client.

You'll need to have purchased a full copy of tom tom to have the maps required though!

The crack to make the TomTom work with internal GPS affects the GPS performance in other programmes that are meant to work with internal. trust me on this. or try it, which ever.

Garmin Mobile XT is the one to go for.
