its spot on, until the phone kicks the gps receiver out after an hour!! mines got speed and traffic light cameras on it

there is a problem with all n70's regarding tom tom, the bluetooth rejects the gps receiver, and as yet there isnt as cure!

best thing to do, is too delete all bluetooth pairings,go into tom tom, turn on your gps receiver, and let the phone find it, once it does, accept it, but do not pair with it, that should last for a few hours

best gps receiver is the tom tom version, but it is dear, at about Ł150!!

There's also route66.

Almost exactly the same as tomtom except you cant add POI's like speed cameras etc..

However, it does have live traffic updates via WAP. And will redirect your route if there is a traffic jam. - which is totally free (except for the WAP usage) unlike TOMTOM
