As GPS-based services get increasingly popular (Nokia recently joined the game with its Smart2Go release), Symbian-Guru prepared a mini site to compare 3 free Java-based navigation apps.
Testing “equipment” included Nokia E62 and a Nokia LD-1W BT GPS Receiver. He tested amAze, Nav4All, and MGMaps.
As nothing in life is free, these applications download maps as you drive, so you will use a lot of data. Therefore, it is suggested that you have an unlimited data package before using any of them.
I don’t want to spoil Symbian-Guru’s article by revealing the winner. You’ll have to find that out for yourself. Here’s the link.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
