This is my first post here, thanks for this amazing ressource about GPS!
I am planning to go on a trip through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and then Australia.
I am seriously considering the N95 as a GPS with moving JPEG as I believe most of these countries have no maps from commercial editors. Im not talking the 8Gb version (too expensive) but the N95 (brand new though, I will purchase it from a store)
Now the question I have: I heard a lot (and I mean a lot) about the N95's early models GPS. Apparantly it's working very well now with the A-GPS but this requires a data connection of any sort to function.
I'd like to know about the performance of a N95 GPS _without_ A-GPS... Is it reliable? Reasonably fast to lock? Or should I forget about the Wifi to make SIP calls when near a hotspot and go for a 6210 Navigator?
Welcome to the forums but please join the existing topic dedicated to the N95 so we can try to stay organized. You will also find a full review on the portal that was made before AGPS was available.
I read the review but I suppose Nokia upgraded the GPS stack along with the various new firmwares that came out so the info in this test may be outdated?
