When looking for a GPS capable device, there are many options to choose from. Some cars come equipped with a GPS tracking system as well as cell phones and smart phones. You will first want to decide which serves your needs the best. If you are looking for a hand held device that can provide a GPS location as well as handle appointments and a multitude of other functions, you may want to see what a smart phone has to offer.
The Nokia N95 is the leader in smart phones with GPS capability. This phone, soon to be replaced by the Nokia N96 has a GPS system that allows you to download maps either directly to the phone or though the phone’s internet connection. Not only will it allow you to receive information on specific positioning, it also comes equipped with a 5 megapixel camera. Not too long ago, a 1 megapixel camera phone was new and exciting technology.
This phone also allows you to browse the net. Similar to other phones meeting this standard, it will allow you to surf the net at virtually the same speed as an at home connection. No more text only web pages. The Nokia N95 allows you to view flash sites such as UTube. You will receive most of the same graphic and video features as you would from your very own PC.
As if a GPS tracking system, 5 mega pixel camera and internet access were not enough, this phone also offers a built in mp3 player. There is a separate jack for the user to plug in headphones as well. If you are not interested in keeping your music to yourself, there are also built in stereo speakers.
Although the Nokia N95 will allow you to download maps for free, if you are looking for specific directions it is likely you will have to pay a fee. Unlike many other smart phones with GPS capability, Nokia allows you to select a payment option that works for you. Many of its competitors require a yearly contract and additional software installations and fees to have use of their maps. Nokia allows you to select the appropriate amount of time needed to view a particular area and charges only for the time you require.
There are many smart phones available. All have their pros and cons, however, the Nokia N95 is the most well rounded GPS capable phone currently on the market.
