Well, I assume Symbian needs more power to run well.. guess thats why Symbian based phones generally bigger too.
Besides.. this is very off topic, both Route66 and TomTom are road-navigation.. this is more a GPS tool with some extra features. Take it for what it is and try to get as much as possible out of it.

I find it very useful.

5th july emappz will have a beta java navigator for K750i (and other phones and brands) out for testing.
Unfortinately it's only in swedish.

The app. is supposed to be free financed by comercials.

But if they can get it to work, then I think other apps. woun't be far away, like TomTom etc.

Wayfinder seems to have a JAVA version also. Only for cities though.

Yes they do have java navagation software, but who wants to pay monthly. Surely you buy the route software and thats it! if you want to update you pay for that aswell later, but I don't want to pay monthly for GPS navigation!!

I tried MobiTrack 1.18 DEMO with K750i and Falcom Navi-B GPS reciever with no success.
I am not sure to buy the 1.23pro, because maybe it will not work also.

Is the K750 supported by 1.18 or only by 1.23 pro?

Just been on a german web site

http://navigation.falk.de/navigation/de/109.htm

They show full working mobile GPS Nav on the K750i

How good is your german!

Just reading this thread, got my interest.
I'm assuming you are pairing the phone with a BT GPS receiver. Anyone got any advice on which is a good GPS receiver to work with the K750i.

What's the drain on Battery like too?

MobiTrackPro 1.23 works great on K750i with Redknows bluetooth GPS, tried demo version 1.18 first and that one also worked fine

If you already have a GPS reciever, I dont see a point to have a GPS app on your phone. [addsig]

Not all GPS recievers have a display...
