If you choose other, please state.

add igo8 also ... one of the best gps software now

crystalgeyser2 · 03-02-2008, 22:58

What exactly do you mean by the best?

Best looking, easiest to use, most accurate route, or overall experience?

I picked Route66 v7. Fastest GPS connection on my N95, fast interface, and easy to use.

gsmpuky · 03-02-2008, 23:00

of course igo8 is the best

**sebagsm** · 03-02-2008, 23:36

fast ... bunch of detailed maps ... 3D buldings !!1

seaders69 · 03-04-2008, 01:31

from what I've used thusfar, I'd say Route66 v8, but I really do want to try out Navigon, TomTom and this iGo8

dlord · 03-04-2008, 01:40

I all,

I think Sygic is the best one, not refer in the poll, but Sygic have the best of all. Simply, fast and complete.

Best Regards

bledis · 03-05-2008, 07:52

Is Igo8 available for the symbian series if so I must have missed something, as Ive only seen PPC version if there is a N95 version could someone kindly point to a link for it.

Garmin Mobile XT works really well on the n95

I like Garmin too but the only issue I have is with POI. It's not as intuitive as the others. I have to first select what type of POI... What's the point of this? Can't it work out just with the keywords I type? The others I simply just enter the keyword e.g. street, postcode, place, store's name, hotels name etc.

Garmin is pretty accurate at working out the shortest/quickest route. Route66 is the worst out of the lot in this respect...

Garmin XT top view looks pretty awful for those times you're cycling or walking. I like Nokia Maps for this which looks like what you see in an A to Z.

I really dont know which is the best , and today just before reading this thread i was asking my self this question
i have Rute 66 v7.454 , Garmin , and 2 days ago i installed Sgyic , all is installed in my N95 at the moment

things i noticed :
1- Rute 66 and Sygic is more detaild than Garmin .
2- Garmin and Sygic , loads the GPS faster than the Rute66
3- Sygic is better than Garmin and Rute with perviewing the turnes while
ruteing .
4- Rute and Garmin dose not waste battery as sygic !
5- Rute have problem with laging
6- Sygic lost the signal sometimes .

So i will put them in points

GPS load - Garmin , Sygic , Rute
Gps Signal stringth - Gramin , Rute , Sygic
Detaild map - Rute , Sygic , Garmin
Laging - Rute is the worst
Battery waste - sygic is the worst
voice details - Sygic is the best
Options and best interface Sygic

oh and size of the map , i guess rute is the biggest here because it loads Scandinavian all together not only Denmark.

I hope my deails helped
