Route66 on N95 8GB is probably the best alterntaive - although it doesn't have speed cameras.

I find it absolutley brilliant.

Hi,
We are sorry to hear you have issues with routing.

Can you be more specific about the problem, it would help us locate it. It would be great, if you could show us the route on Google maps using road planner. You can use link button in upper right corner of Google maps and send link in reply.

Thank you for using Mobile Maps.

Sygic Support.

So Sygic,

Given that "There are two different app versions available" would you recommend buying the on-line shop version? This allows future updates?

But IMO it's not just a mobile phone any more. Indeed calls are the thing I probably use least frequently!

Am all for user choice though, my vote would be to cause the nav to continue.

I'm somewhat confused about the purchase options.

It appears I can either get:
* Ovi store version 40 EUR - UK/ireland
* Sygic shop version 60 EUR - Europe

Additionally Sygic store option appears to have extra features (auto rotate, background etc) but I suspect this is down to an update, which is presumably what the references to a sygic repository were related to?

I did notice that Sygic doesn't appear able to use the GPS if another app is using it. Ovi maps, GPS datalogger, ecoach don't appear to have this problem. This feature is useful when using GPS data logging to track a journey, or to record location automatically. Not sure if this is fixed in a later version
