I downloaded the application this morning on my N73. A few more instructions on the process would be helpful, but no major problems. I installed the app onto the phone rather than the memory card as experience suggests this normally works a bit better.

No problems registering or setting up and it found the external GPS without difficulty.

I tried navigation to work and also using the search facility to find the nearest Premier Inn and a post office. The voice directions are a bit quiet, but its more the lack of high frequency clarity on the text to speech rather than actual volume. I tried a few random turns to test the re-routing and it seemed to work well. It also picked up all the fixed speed cameras on the route, including ignoring those on the other carriageway. A new junction (A1 Gonerby Moor) was correctly mapped.

Niggles: Lack of info on the map screen. ETA & speed are very useful. Speed camera warnings are in the same voice as the navigation, so it is easy to miss a warning. A chime or warning sound would be a good idea. The boot up time of about 20 seconds seems a bit long.

Overall, a lot better than Route 66 or Nokia Maps, and if you aren't worried about custom POIs or the ability to have different voices etc, then I would recommend this.

I'll let you know how I get on over the next few weeks Smile
