noob help for gps application recomendation please

2 replies · 2,974 views · Started 06 July 2009

Ok I'm new to this forum and smart phones so please excuse the obvious noob request for help.

i have a nokia 5800, I also have memory map on which I can plan routes and export them as a GPX file. What i am trying to find is a simple basic GPS application for my phone where i can import those routes and show them on my phone and also show my location. I dont need/want to see maps just to see my planned route and location.

the abilty to record and export my track back out of the phone would also be nice.

Sorry if this is a stupid request but being new and my friend google is only confusing me about apps for the phone I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction

If I have asked this question in the wrong place would a mod kindly move it for me.

Thanks

From what i understand, i think Nokia Sports Tracker might help you.

Sportstracker will only seemingly let me use previous tracks as routes, i cant import my own routes in gpx or any format into sports tracker. unless you know otherwise or perhaps there are instructions somewhere for loading routes into the track folder of sports tracker so it thinks its a track and i can then use it as a route?
