1. GPS question

I currently have a semi smartphone - nokia 5230 and it is a tease. What I need the smartphone the most is for finding places. I'm always lost when finding places or late to certain events. I know the Iphone is great at these type of situations and was wondering how the N900 is. I seriously hate the Ovi Maps for my nokia 5230 and hope it improves.

As for the n900 i hear it is the same. I just really want a gps that shows me where i am... then type in where i want to go from here. is that really that hard to ask???
The GPS finds my location down to house number, and also helped me when i needed it when i was lost.

2. Resistive screen

I know the n900 is a mobile computer first, then laptop. im no rocket scientist but i know how to use a pc. I just really want a good reason to buy the n900. the 5230 that i have right now uses resistive screen also, and there are times that i hate it because it is not always responsive.
The N900 screen is the best resistive screen i have used for sensitivity, coming from a iPod touch and 5800 user. the 5800 isnt sensetive enough and the iPod too sensitive.

3. Copy and Paste
How efficient and accurate is the copy and paste tool. i feel like i use this a lot on a pc but feel that it is fairly difficult on the n900 based on reviews. say that i find the address of a restaurant, and i want to copy and paste it to mapquest or google maps so that i can get directions.. is it difficult to accomplish this task???
The copy and paste in the browser is a matter of swiping to enable hover mode, highlighting the text with stylus then ctrl - c ctrl - v like a pc.
