The GPS really works !!

Well..for starters ..i didnt think much of the GPS system.Heck..i dint even think that it'd work in india !! But the most amazing part is that it does work ....and works superbly !! I used it yesterday to track a bike ride from kothrud to koregaon park (in pune )...and mind you ...the N95 was in my pocket all the time ..and yet the device performed extremely well and didnt even drop the signal once. If you want to see what the N95 GPS logging is capable of ..head down to :

I suggest you set the maps to satellite mode for the best effect.

I am just about to buy the N95...your blog assured me that the GPS works here in india.

Can you pls name any particular software/map application that you are using?

How is your overall experience with the phone?

The phone is good. But the battery life sucks ...!! You have to recharge almost every day. The gps lasts just a paltry 2-3 hours on a full charge ..but thats acceptable i guess ..coz it has to communicate with the GPS satellite almost every second .The camera is amazing ..and photos excellent. The only minus point would be the battery.
