Mapping on the go

I’ve been playing a bit with some map and navigation applications on the N91 and think it has some pretty slick applications for on the go navigation as well as just cool info.

WayFinder Navigator is the most comprehensive application I’ve found to date but in order to get the most from it, you’ll want to pair your system with a bluetooth GPS like the Nokia LD-1W which actually arrived with a previous NSeries phone I was using. Wayfinder Navigator is a full featured navigation system that enables you to be located (of course) and chart courses to new locations. This is perfect for driving or walking in new places. I found that with my bluetooth headset attached, the directions I needed to follow were spoken discretely in my ear as I went along which is nice as the screen on the N91 is great for a phone, but a touch small to really be watching while driving.

Another cool app is Google Maps Mobile. It’s exactly what you know, but on your phone. No GPS integration (which would make this amazing) but it’s amazingly responsive and worth a download.
