N85 - still need for external GPS ?

1 replies · 2,988 views · Started 12 March 2009

Hi all,

I'm about to upgrade my phone, and probably will get the N85.

At the moment i've got an N70 on which i've got Tomtom mobile installed and i've got this external GPS thingy in my car, and together they work fine, though sometimes it does take a while for the nokia to see the bluetooth gps thingy.

Now i've had this friend show me her N79 with build in gps and nokiamaps, however whilst sitting on her couch the phone kept mapping us in different places, e.a. her street, then the next street, and then a road 2 streets away so wasn't to impressed with that.

So if i get that N85, would i be able to install Tomtom mobile again as i do quiet like the program, and would i still need to use that external bluetooth gps thingy or will the gps receiver build in the N85 be strong enough to normally guide you through traffic ?
