Those of you that have a GPS on your phone, is it any good? Do you use it often? What drawbacks come to mind?
I'm curious if it's a worthwhile premium, or just a marketing ploy.
Phone models I'm considering are the E90 and N95.
Thanks!

The only difference I see..Is that the screen is just not big enough.

Re: How useful is GPS on a phone?
Using GPS on a cell phone varies with each person. I use it on my 8925, as well as Google Maps, because I tend to travel a bit. The built-in GPS on the N95 is decent. It's just that it doesn't lock on as quickly as stand-alone GPS receivers. If that is the case for you, then just get a stand-alone GPS receiver.

Don't use it much, because it's kind of expensive for me to use it, because internet fees are very high. It's useful though

Re: How useful is GPS on a phone?
Thanks for your replies! I'm starting to sense this is not a good investment, or not something I should expect to work well in a cell phone at this time.
Regards,
A.

Re: How useful is GPS on a phone?
Many phones (including my phone Treo 775P) claim GPS, yet needs a receiver to function???
So, I plan to buy a bluetooth keychain GPS unit to pair with my phone.
And, I plan to use it alot. I get lost all the time.
I have unlimited internet, so fees are not an issue.If you find this post helpful, click on bottom of each post: Like l Share
