Hi - seen a few comments on Amaze GPS but nothing that informative yet. I'm looking soon for a new phone and like the Samsung 8910HD. However, I'm not keep on Orange (Nokia) maps and looked at alternatives. Searching the Orange site found Amaze GPS which looks interesting:

Is this too good to be true? Does anyone have any experience of using this software? Is it any good?

Thanks

I have tried it and didn't think it very good. Is the Samsung a Symbian OS or something else?

Thanks Darren, the Samsung is Symbian OS (same as the Nokia 5800)

In which case my personal favourite is Sygic, see here but it's not free albeit worth the money.

Darren, thanks again. Sygic looks promising on their website although I couldn't see the costs. I don't mind paying for something that works and isn't a rip-off (which I now think Tom Tom is - still using TT5 on my PDA but no longer able to update maps etc). Do you know if Sygic accepts your Pocket GPS World speed camera POIs? Also, it wasn't clear on the site if it needs a mobile connection or is truly stand-alone? TY

We have an entire forum area for Sygic. Many users moved to them after TT stiffed the PocketPC users and its proved very popular.

It is a totally on-board solution with maps on memory-card and yes it supports our database.

I'd recommend you drop by the Sygic forum and ask the users there if you have any questions. Although we haven't reviewed the Symbian version it is to most extents identical to the PPC version reviewed here.

Have looked at the Amazegps but not actually used because it is not standalone and incurs data charges, sygic is stand alone and thus once paid for no further cost apart from map updates.
