I’ve compiled a list with video demos of all the GPS navigation applications that work on the Nokia N97. After some testing, I also included my thoughts on the pros and cons of each.
NDrive 3.5.18
Pros
- 3D Maps of important landmarks
- All input is through a on-screen keyboard so you can navigate without openning the slider
Cons
- None (so far)
TomTom Mobile 6.01
Pros
- Intuitive interface (IMO)
Cons
- No touchscreen support
- Gets stuck on some screens because of inacessible buttons
- No spoken names of streets
- Qwerty input does not work (have to use T9)
Sygic Mobile 7.71
Pros
- Similar intuitive interface as TomTom
Cons
- None (so far)
Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.50
Pros
- 3D Maps
Cons
- Images sometimes get cutoff in landscape mode
- Seems a little slow in recalculating routes
Nokia Ovi Maps 3.0
Pros
- 3D Maps of major landmarks
Cons
- Seems to require a data connection to search point of interests
Since I’ve always been a fan of TomTom since I have my Dell Axim x51v, my personal favorite nav app on the N97 is Sygic Mobile since its a copycat of TomTom.
