No problem using my N95 GPS in the car. It works very well.

Screen may be too small for some.

My Bro's N95 can't even work properly most of the time...

My fren commented abt using N95 inside the car,

The only GPS good for car use is one with a touch screen, big enough words and operates with finger tip touching. Using stylus and looking at small words will take your attention away from the road and of course, the map is one important factor too.

Garmin is a good choice for GPS

[User12343]

depends whether the windscreen is applied with window films. some films have some metallic compounds that may prevent GPS signals from penetrating thru the windscreen, hence the N95 cannot track GPS.

Agree, only those dedicated for GPS will have stronger GPS signal like those from Garmin, Nuvi model which I am using.

Same as TAXI........GPS....

My built-in GPS comes in the form of Dopod P800W. Comes with SirfIII and Mapking R12. no problem getting signal in car, even got signal sometimes in my two storey office area (indoor)! Satellite tracking is quick and on the move it tracks within a minute or two. Only setback is that a prefect visioned person will appreciate it more because of the relatively small touch screen.

n95 is a AIO thing. Can do is can do, but not necessary does it the best. As mentioned by someone else, the screen is to small and you really have to depend on the voice navi.

i'm using N95 as my GPS in car

 

its definitely not as good as garmin

but i'm not rich so i'm ok with N95

 

just a simple gadget to play with

not hardcore user. =)

I am also using the N95 in my car. Good enough for me in Singapore. Also, the voice nav is sufficient, don't really have to look at the screen.
