The Nokia N97 has GPS inside. So what, you might think. It’s only good for the odd map, isn’t it? Not if you’re a GPS master. Take a peep at our video and we’ll show you how to squeeze the most from the N97’s satnav superpowers.
Vodafone Find & Go
You don’t need to worry about being lost if your Nokia N97 is on Vodafone. Find & Go lets you pinpoint your location, as well as search nearby attractions. It’s ultra-quick and so smart it’ll even work indoors without a GPS signal.
Of course, as soon as it can track down satellites it’s much more precise, but for a quick fix on where you’re standing it’s second to none.
Search is speedy and shows multiple results plotted on a map. As soon as you’ve found one you’re interested in you can share it with friends too, just by tapping in their phone number.
Getting to a location yourself couldn’t be easier, as Find & Go includes handy directions, with steps to guide you between them.
Nokia Maps
Nokia’s mapping app turns the N97 into a full-blown satnav. As well as finding locations and tracking down nearby addresses it offers full 3D views and spoken directions (for an extra fee).
If you spend a lot of time on the road, it’s the perfect addition to your dashboard: the N97’s screen is large enough to see from behind the wheel without squinting, and if you subscribe to Nokia’s traffic service it’ll even warn you of roadworks and jams up ahead.
Nokia Sports Tracker
Thought GPS and satnav was all about finding your way around town? Think again. The Nokia N97 comes with Nokia Sports Tracker pre-installed. Tap into it, tell it what kind of exercise you’re undertaking and it’ll monitor your performance as you go.
Think of it as a virtual personal trainer. It’ll track the precise distance you’ve covered, and even take into account the altitude too. All that’s calculated against your time to show where you can improve. Sign up for a free account and you can even share your routes and stats online.
It’s rare a mobile phone can do so much with a simple satnav chip, but in the right hands the Nokia N97 has the power to turn you into a true GPS genius!
