I ordered it, because of "a winning award of ..."
OK - I was a victim of an ad.

Mine is Symbian version for Nokia E65.

But for all others... tell me if i'm wrong and just don't know how to use it, but there's a couple of bad/missing features in that software.

-if you're looking for an address You just got... just a street address. You got to know first in which city it's located at!!!! HOW DO I KNOW!! That's why I bought navigating software.

In order to bill Your company for KM's, You might want to look for a distance between two addresses... As You guessed... impossible.

While recording a "favorit", font/background are in a same colour, no manual zoom level, no scale, it always returns to a 2D mode, no access to main menu without stopping navigation, in order to compare shortest/fastest route, You got to go to a main menu (which stops navigation...), no input for coordinates, POI handler for extra money .... ....

As You might guess - I'm really disappointed to this software, even map display is nice and guides are clear. But those are not that much of clear, compared to a competitors, that this would be worth of buing.

Especially, when finding an address is impossible if You don't know the full adress. (Compared to Route66 and Navicore)

FWIW,

my niggles:-

MN6 crashes at least once every journey Sad

The logbook can no longer be set to autostart Sad

You can't import your MN5 favourites Confused Sad

The 3D display is sloooowwww (on my 240MHz Orbit admittedly)

You can't get rid of the startup nag screen Sad

If you block your route MN6 doesn't recalculate to avoid the blockage, what *!&*!"* use is that? Mad

IMO if you don't ABSOLUTELY need the logbook facility (which I DO) then

*******DON'T BOTHER WITH NAVIGON MOBILE NAVIGATOR6*******

It's a waste of money if you have MN5

Oh NO IT'S NOT!

Go to Route Planning -specify SP & RP - Click on Add then Show route.
Gives me Total distance; Time of journey; ETA

When alll else fails RTFM.

Do you realise how many addresses are 'The Close' - You must have some idea where you want to go!

if you set the default to 2D then that is where it will it will always return to!

Perhaps the Symbian version is cut down somewhat.
