Is this a total game changer in the GPS device landscape?
Has anyone got experience of using Nokia phone-based Ovi navigation, and
can they comment on how it compares with TomTom?
Is it now worth considering getting say a Nokia E72 (or whatever has the
largest screen) for use only as a car and handheld navigation appliance
because it will have free up to date maps?

Though it's not directly relevant to this, I run Viewranger Ordnance
Survey 1:50000 and 1:25000 maps on my touchscreen Nokia 5800 and it
works well. Although the sensitivity of the GPS receiver in the phone
isn't as good as in a dedicated GPS unit. Possibly because of the
size-restricted antenna?
