    With Nokia's launh of free navigation software for Ovi Maps
    http://maps.nokia.com/explore-services/ovi-maps
    Would you use your mobile as a GPS device or would you prefer a standalone device.?

    Myself I would always prefer a seperate unit. But I can see the advantage for travel & walking.
    Anyone else any thoughts on this?

    Seeing as the N95 was the phone that really launched GPS on mobiles you would have imagined that would have been included.

    is there a way to get rid of the old maps first and do a new install?

    As there are new posts in both threads thought it best to merge them.
