N95 and free GPS — Nokia N95 and N95 8GB — All About Symbian Forum Archive

Hey guys,

I saw recently, at a mates place, a video about N95 and free GPS programs.

I thought that anything that has a "tracking" feature would be an improvement to the Maps program that comes with the phone, so I'm try to find and test out the programs that were mentioned.

Does anyone have a link to either that video (Smartphone Guy???) or to a free GPS software.

I'll try and test each of them and give you my own views on each one.

hi,

here is an old post by symbian guru that should get you started with a few pointer to free gps apps:

Also if you want tracking people seem to like the Nokia sports tracker:

http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/SportsTracker/index.html

It allows u to even export your traced routes to overlay onto Google earth.

And finally for a bit of inspiration, a really good writeup about non-free gps software for the N95 can be seen here: (thanks bartmanekul and co.)
