my e72 can install ovi maps... where can get a fitting and cheap mount for nokia e72 phone ah?

@Quincy: that is quite a nifty mount you got there for your phone. gotta go check one out where did you get it from?

ok for N86 folks, good news!

 

you can install N52/N72 ovi map program into your N86 for free navigation! jus make sure you're installing the ovi map program of a similar OS level as your N86 which is Symbian OS v9.3 S60 rel. 3.2... i had tried installing as well as update the map from Nokia maps and test it out last weekend from my house in Jurong to NATAS at expo... it works very well! good luck!

 

thanks to Quincy for sharing!

JK Commercial. RAM Mount dealer. Check out their MO as Mass Order section also. They got promo for Garmin GPS. Comes with mounting & power cable also. Mine is very very basic compared to what they are offering. =)

Welcome. I think as long as you have Ovi, shouldn't be a prob. Just need to trial & error on which is compatible for your Nokia model... =)

one thing to note... the new version, ovi map v3.3, is quite fast in getting GPS signal and able to locate where are you... but one thing bad is that you has to be on some recognized road to be able to start your navigation from a place to the other else you will be prompt with route not found!

oh 1 more thing to add using e RAM basic mount.

 

tried using the mount in the rain (not heavy rain) from Ayer Keroh to GP Esso. Saw a few drops of water. Guess a higher windshield would cover completely =)

 

now is time for cig socket =)
