I'm very loyal to Google Maps. I use it every other day in the car, is Nokia Maps just as good? Such a dealbreaker for me. SO CLOSE in getting the Lumia... Can't make up my mind now sad.gif

Nokia Maps is fanstastic and works as a GPS here without the need to "brut" and root your phone to use the hacked Google maps with Navigation.

I don't see it as a deal breaker but a better navigation system then Gmaps at this point. (unless google finally gives us turn by turn)

I'd like to add, on top of that, you get Nokia City Lens which proves to be useful to locate famous landmarks / F&B outlets, something Google maps can't do. Apart from City Lends, offline maps (for the entire country) is also another feature gmaps cannot provide.

City Lens works fine, just slightly outdated. But that should at least get you to places (or there about) with no issue.

have you guys tried to find your phone at windowsphone.com? my friend lost his phone today and he didnt install any tracking app on his samsung ace which made me worried about mine. my attempt worked but was about 100m off the actual location. failed to ring the phone on my first attempt too.

thats because most people use data on the phone only. people like me on the other hand is always on the go with a laptop and sometimes there is no free wifi. thats when i tether my phone to my laptop. tethering finishes up data very fast.
