Hi.
I can't comment as I've never used the N79, but the N82 also apparently has a
good receiver. Nothing will beat an external unit though, and using a phone's
gps receiver will significantly reduce the battery performance. I take it that
this is the case with the N79 as well? Have you tried using the N79 in a
pedestrian environment and found it to be as accurate say as a Globaltop G66+
or QStarz BT-Q818X?
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim,
I am surprised at that. The GPS receiver on the N79 is superb.
All the best
Steve

Hi.
The receiver in the E71 is good for driving, but I wouldn't use it for
pedestrian navigation. The refresh time is considerably slower than on an
external high quality receiver, added to this the additional strain on the
phone's battery and it just isn't worth while. By all means, if your in a taxi
or a passenger in a car though, it makes a good backup if your external for
some reason isn't available or working.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi. How good is the built in receiver on the E71. I've tried it out today
and got a fix straight away. I didn't use it for navigation! Only for
exploration in WFA. I had the cross roads tab sheet running and sometimes WFA
would report that a certain road was approaching when I already had crossed it.
Is the receiver equivalent to a 51 channel receiver?
