Hi Neil I was slightly surprised at the performance of the internal GPS on the
E71 as the performance of the N95 8GB and the N82 phone took a while to catch a
GPS signal so I ended up using a 51 channel Bluenext receiver for those phones.
I recently left my receiver on the window ledge of a bus and had no choice
other than to use the internal receiver on the E71. So far it's only made one
major blunder and it's been very stable most of the time. I haven't been driven
in to buying a new external receiver yet. The receiver in my E71 works better
in some places than the external receiver I had lost.

hum, Saqib, that's interesting, the E71 only has an Surf style 3 chip set,
which is also the worse of the two available.

Hi Neil and Steve. I usually have the E71 in my pocket with a Bluetooth ear
piece connected and the GPS coverage is quite good. Even if I use 2 to 3 hours
of Wayfinder and and text through out the day along with the use of the
internet I still find that there is usually 3 bars of battery life left at the
end of the day.

Steve,
I disagree here, using an external receiver drains battery heabily, it also
makes you a security risk, as you neef to realistically keep the phone in your
hand when walking using the internal receiver.
Also if you've then got it in your hands, if you fall over, your phone is done
for.
External GPS receivers everytime is the recommended course of action.

Hi John,
If you are talking about Nokia Maps, forget it. It is not that accessible. You
would be better off with Wayfinder Access.
No, you don't necessarily need an external receiver, the internal one is quite
good.
All the best
Steve

Hi List,
When I first went into the g p s on my Nokia N82 I thought there was an option
to pay for voice addition to the service. I can't seem to find it anymore. Can
anyone help?
Is the internal antenna good or do I have to buy an external antenna?
Kindest Regards, John
