GPS
There is Nokia Maps 2.0 on E66. We were lucky, as opposed to N78, meaning that the handset now comes with 3 months of free navigation for us, so it could be used for route planning and voice navigation too. At the N78 review we have already mentioned that there is a satellite view (although here in Hungary we could zoom in enough only in Budapest), 2D/3D view, night mode, advanced POI search, but there are a few thing I can describe more in detail now.
We can see that on those places where Navteq has fresh maps, there are surprisingly detailed data, there are no problems. But I found some streets in the rural areas that were not on the map, but situation is much, much better than a couple of years ago. I didn’t find any big errors in route planning, but unfortunately there is no flight mode, no fullscreen route plan and no lists of what kind of turns we should expect.
The rotated screen, however, is very handy, as sometimes the phone is much more usable when held horizontally, as the fonts of the information that get to the right are much larger and easy to read. The list of POIs looks quite detailed and the phone number of restaurants, museums, hotels or anything are usually included in the POI info, which is a great thing in case of a phone.
I can only say positive things about the receiver that has A-GPS support too. It gets connected pretty fast and keeps the connection alive. Still, it’s worth to note that although the latest, most detailed maps can be copied to the memory, if there is mobile internet connection, we should download the changes using that. Unfortunately Traffic Info is inaccessible at us, although – as opposed to car PNAs – is refreshed via the web instead of TMC, it’s just that Nokia doesn’t have this service deployed everywhere.
