The only thing new could be that direct save-to-contacts feature, never tried it, but I guess I can tap the number and save to contacts from the phone application, but that doesn't even require GPS to work.

Engadget Mobile should get out of its iPhone hole and play a wee bit more with Windows Mobile devices.]]>Oct 12th 2007 1:09PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/Oct 12th 2007 2:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/ Track Location Settings and make sure "Set by Windows" is clicked off, then click on Track Location and it will use the Tilt's internal GPS.

NuShrike, Microsoft's Live Search allows you to click phone numbers the detail, that's one of my man beef's with Google Maps too. Nothing is hotlinked in the details.

But to my dismay, unless there is a method of downloading the maps in advance, this application will not be terribly useful unless I'm near a stationary wifi hotspot. There is basically no such thing as an unlimited data plan in Canada, and this app chews up the bandwidth like there's no tomorrow. Therefore I cannot use it while in a car, or anywhere mobile.

That highlights the biggest benefit of the Nokia Maps app - the ability to download maps in bulk. At least for a Canadian :-)

Exactly! With Nokia Maps, you can download the maps in advance and save them on your memory stick but with Google Maps you must download them on-the-go, which is a huge downside.]]>Oct 14th 2007 11:22AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/Oct 16th 2007 11:13AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/
1) the traffic information is terribly inaccurate and never timely

2) the search for business function has limited functionality often returning entries several states away.]]>Oct 12th 2007 10:55PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/Oct 13th 2007 8:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/12/google-maps-gets-cozy-with-n95s-internal-gps/Oct 16th 2007 3:45PM
