Hi all - just received my FREE contract mobile upgrade from Vodafone. Went for a Nokia Navigator which has built in satnav. I've just downloaded the Gatso database and it works a treat. Very handy to keep in your shirt pocket. Gives you a 'buzz' as you're approaching cameras. Also can be set to buzz if you go over the speed limit.

Very handy for a freeby - I'm sure its not technically the best or most advanced gps in the world, but does what it says on the tin, and does it well !!

Just got myself an N95 which has got a fairly crude equivelent of sat nav on it, not sure about the cameras as I've not had a chance to fully explore it and there's no cameras round here, but the route planning itself is very good.
I expect the navigators is better though yes

I've got an N95 too - as well as the maps, the sports tracker is great... it effectively gives you telemetry readings. speed, time, altitude and direction. Also can automatially work out laps etc. Not fully explored it, but you can export the 'map' it creates of your route to google maps so u can see where you actually went.

Another great feature on the maps is that if you go to >selected position, >search nearby, then go throught the points of interest (it has loads of pubs, restaurants, take outs hotels etc - loads more than my road angel ast nav), it also has the phone number of the majority of POI's, so if you select one, you can just press the green button and it will call the POI! (you can also select call through the menu's - but i thought that this was a brilliant feature if you are away from home)
