我在Nokia N73 上装了 Tomtom 6, 和西欧20个国家详细地图(近1Gb), 中/东欧4国地图, 香港, 台湾, 新加坡 ( 美国, 加拿大, 澳洲的也都有, 卡上装不下啦)。 用了几个月, 非常好使。这种单独的GPS接受器(32通道或更多)比一般的一体化的GPS(不超过20通道)要精确, 我的误差不超过2.5米。
下面是细节:
No monthly subscription is required. So far I've successfully run the navigation for the whole West & North Europe (20 countries), main parts of east europe (Poland, CZ, Hungary, ), Singapore, Hong Kong, 。。。。。。。. (the error is in generall less than 2.5 meters. The navigator gives very clear audio and visual instruction at every turn on the road).
The following are the required "elements" to have GPS navigation (e.g. Tomtom Navigator 6) on Mobile Phone (e.g. Nokia N73):
1. a mobile phoneset which belongs to the so-called "SmartPhone" (i.e. it can run multiple jobs at the same time), e.g. all mobile phones running the Operating Sytem symbian 9.1 (S60 3rd) (like Nokia N73, N80, E61, E60, …, for the list of compatible models pleases see http://s60.s80.cn/s60mulu/Html/Index.html );earlier versions v2 or v1 models like N70 does not work;. - please see below for the details of signing a cheap 12month contract for the Nokia N73
(You can also run the GPS in some PDAs (Personal Digital Assiatants - handheld computers) or Laptops).
2. a miniSD memory card (2GB or more are recommended). Usually a small miniSD card (say 128Mbis included in the mobile phoneset), but it is not large enough for the required softwares (see item 4). (a 2Gb miniSD card will cost about 13 pounds, or a 4GB card cost 25-30 pounds)
3. a GPS Receiver (with Bluetooth). Ideally to have 32-channels or more (the more channels, the more accurate of the satellite positioning). My GPS Receiver is (30-35 pounds) :
i-Blue737 32 Channel Bluetooth GPS Receiver 25 Hour Battery
This GPS is compatible with ALL phones which run either the Symbian or Windows Mobile operating system (PDAs) and is also compatible with ALL laptops and PCs.

4. a Navigation Software (+ electronic maps). These softwares can be downloaded from internet (free) or purchased from companies like Tomtom. Details are ignored here.
5. You are also advised to buy a Car Mount Holder & a car charger for the mobile phone battery (mine is 9 pounds for the two).
P.S: Nokia recently launched a couple of new phonesets (N95, 6110) which has a built-in GPS receiver. However, apart from the hight price for these models, some people said these phonesets do not work with Tomtom Nevigator & you also need to subscribe to Nokia (i.e. pay monthly for the GPS Navigation service). The built-in GPS receiver probably also not wrok as good at the standalone ones.

最近推出了很多Bluetooth的GPS,不知道那位大虾用过,给点评价。
有没有人用它和手机一起使用的?这个本人很好奇。不知道使用效果如何。反应速度快不快呀?
还有,曾经有人提过盗版软件,在那里可以买得到?很多地方都有得卖马?

Bluetooth 的GPS的要求就是,手机能支持bluetooth,并且有支持bluetooth的导航软件。
现在vodafone 有几款手机都在推出这样的组合,我所知道的,现在支持bluetooth的软件,有tomtom 5, medion navigon 5,至于能不能跟你的手机配套使用,就必须看软件说明中关于“支持硬件”的介绍。
现在也有一些手机可以使用网络来导航,比如西门子的C75,每次导航前,输入目的地,然后拨号到服务器下载路由,费用是0.79
