Hi Steve the GPS seems to be better than the N95 8GB and the N82 at least. Not
once it cut out on me and I can get a fix whilst indoors. That's something
which I never managed to achieve with the N82 and the N95 8GB. I was just
slightly baffled with couple of roads being reported as approaching when indeed
I'd already were in the middle of crossing them or had past them. I'm going to
use it in navigation mode and see how well it copes as it's overcast today.

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?
