Any experience of phone GPS??

[LaurenceK]

Someone in our office has just bought a GPS module for his Nokia phone at a cost of just £65 which sounds like a clever idea to me.

I'm just off to Hong Kong and thought I might buy one but first - Has any one out there heard of, or better still used, a mobile phone GPS set??

Also I am selling a small mountain of N sea and Norway charts. Take a look at For Sale forum for details.

I've used the Benefon Esc! GPS phone for a couple of years now, great piece of kit and the first GPS phone in the world. Good thing is its only one piece of kit to carry and a really neat feature is its "friends find". Naturally they need Esc!'s as well but you simply ask the phone where they are, and using SMS's, within minutes you know where they are on the displayed map. When I travelled on business I'd always take the city map with me, great fun if a bit geeky, but what the heck.

Hope you find Hong Kong OK if you buy one

I haven't had experience but I have the Nokia 5140 rugged phone that you can buy a GPS shell for...no idea how good it is though...
