Which navigation system?

3 replies · 2,484 views · Started 20 September 2008

Just got my i8510 (great so far), and have downloaded the Route66 map to try out, but having used Tomtom for years I like the postcode navigation system.
Is this available on Route66 or any other navigation system?

TIA

Yes the Route66 app on this phone does have postcode search facility - just go into the search option, then into the address heading and type in your postcode. but be sure to leave a space between segments, ie. EC1A 7AJ as it doesn't recognise the postcode otherwise.:icon14:

Been trying Route66 and it seems OK but no POI's (which is a pain), the only other GPS program which works seems to be Copilot Live 7.
Has anyone used this and can it use POI's?
Also of the 2 (Route66 and Copilot) any opinions on which is the better.

Free apps like Amaze might work, but they will be crap in comparison to Route66 or CoPilot. Its a shame TomTom, Sygic, Garmin etc dont work yet, but Ive got a 15 Day trial on Route66 and a "questionable" copy of CoPilot
