Anyone using smart2go??

amAze and Nav4All both do the whole kit-n-kaboodle for FREE, you just gotta provide the GPS unit.

TomTom doesn't do anything for free, but what they DO do, they do WELL.

The review is written, just needs the screenshots. Sorry, with 3GSM I got a little off-track.
 
Is navigation as a whole a paid service or just the voice prompts? I was under the impression that the route planning is free, but it costs to have a voice tell you where you are on your journey?
 
Do I need to use the Map Loader to install maps on my E61? I thought I could use the phone's WiFi to download them, but I can't find the option within the app.

I have a mac, so it would be much better for me to be able to download the maps directly to the phone. Can someone point me in the right direction?
 
you know this is something that annoys me. Could they not have waited to have the press release/webcast until it was ready to go??

That's one of the few things about Apple that I love. Their press releases and crap contain the most powerful words, "And this is available right now."
 
hey do u recommend the gps unit cingular sells, i get 50% off accessories, so it will be 50 dollars for me, and also do u have the actual file for NAV4ALL try to download from webpage sends me to a mokia sms setting and i never recieve it on my phone, not sure what im doing wrong.
 
Hmm, I'm going to have to try this when I get home.

I don't have a data plan, so I don't know how well this will work for me.
Tomtom seems to fit the bill for now.
 
dude Abhi reading that jacked me up good. The black background with lighter fonts makes it hard to read other pages for about 10 minutes afterwards.
 
It's nice app... definitely download the maps, and definitely download the manual, it's nicer than google maps, but since I don't have Tom Tom nor Route 66, I can't make a comparison.
 
While I was unimpressed with the app, I don't think your review is fair to the application. Download times were slower earlier today because everybody was downloading it at the same time. It took me less than a minute to download either file for phone or PC.

Using the map downloader, I was able to load Illinois, California, and Georgia in under an hour, probably more like 40 minutes. That's still a lot of time, but it seems like I won't have to do that again unless I need more states in the future. I was also using a card reader, which may not be an option for N91 users, but it certainly is an option for the rest of the s60 community. I have a feeling that's what contributed to the differences in our download time since it always takes longer to transfer information using the data cable. You also downloaded a version that isn't the the N91, which may not matter, but I have a feeling it does. Considering things like the lack of a memory card slot and the low resolution screen on the N91, I'm actually not surprised that it crashed on you at all.

Since I've been playing with it, I have yet to have the application crash at all, though the initial loading time was quite long. Now that I have the maps loaded, the application opens within 5 seconds (faster than the Java GoogleMaps) and finds the locations I search for instantly.

I don't like the application for the basic features it wants you to pay for, but I don't think it's fair to say its as buggy and unfinished as you described.
 
lol! I've never had that problem before. Let me see what I can do about the theme.

Changed the theme. you shouldn't have a problem reading it now.
 
I was talking about my experience with the app. I had a lot of expectations from this app, and it fell short..by a mile!

I'm getting close to 8kB/s as the download rate as of now. It certainly has improved since the morning, but 8 kB/s is still very low.

The app crashes my phone every single time I run it. It might be due to the fact that it is not designed for the N91, but I believe I've written that in my blog post as well.

And with regards to the memory card issue, it is the most severe. Say for example, you don't have a memory card reader. The only other option you have is to use a connectivity cable and use the mass storage mode. With download speeds such as these, you'd be unable to use your phone for a long time. Its kinda like nokia is forcing you to buy a card reader to use this application.
