What's wrong with the built-in Maps software? It's actually very good.
Why do you want to complicate things by using third-party software that
isn't designed to work with the Nokia GPS hardware?
With the Nokia Maps software, I can do just about everything I can do
with my mate's TomTom unit, including navigate to an address, look for
POIs, etc etc. If I want voice navigation for a time, like I did in New
York in the middle of the year, I can just pay $9.95 for a week's worth
of that service, straight onto my phone bill. Worked fine. And most of
the time I don't need voice nav. So I don't need to pay for it.
The Nokia Maps are all free (try that with TomTom, Navman, Garmin etc)
for anywhere in the world. Just download them using the Nokia Maploader
software, and away you go. Updates? No problem - just re-download the
new version with the Maploader program.
Beats me why anyone would want to use TomTom software on the N95. It
works just fine the way it is. If you want TomTom, then I'd suggest you
buy a TomTom unit such as the OneXL or the 720. Or a Garmin. Or a
Navman.
