Nokia Maps 2 Beta

[Simon Fogarty]

I'm not sure, from what I've been told, no, it's still using only stand
alone gps receivers.
 the loadstone guru seems to be Dave allen, I'd flick him the question he
seems to be the one with the loadstone answers.

Does Loadstone support the integrated GPS receivers yet? Am not interested
in trying it until it does.

Myself; I found Nokia Maps better at telling a person ware to drive and when
they needed to turn and what way they needed to turn. This was really true
if you were on a freeway.
Wayfinder would just
tell you go 1/4 of a mile and exit. It's voice didn't say what way to turn.
I also found it late at
telling you when you needed to get over to stay to the right or left to
change freeways. Yes it was still ahead of the turn sometimes that needed to
be made but normally late at telling you making it hard to do what you
needed after you figured out what way you needed to go.
The Nokia maps software
on the other hand seemed to tell a person write when you needed to know and
what way you needed to go and you had time to get over to ware you needed
to.

Both packages are good at what they are for and different people want
different things out of the software.

I also use Loadstone more then either Nokia Maps or wayfinder being I use
the bus/train (public
transportation) to get around the city ware I live.
