Nokia maps and city guides
 
Hi, has anybody used these during a trip?
I'm particularly interested in the electronic city guides, but the information in the Nokia site is scarse (http://www.nokia.co.uk/maps)
I'm tired of using a book as a city guide, having to constantly change pages to find places of interests, maps, restaurants, transportation, etc., so I'm looking for a more modern way of visiting a city.
It doesn't have to be Nokia exclusively (althought the N95 seems to be a very versatile device), I'd like to learn about other options as well.

Cheers.

Well, I've got an N95 and have found Maps to be invaluable while I'm travelling around in Australian cities, especially if I've rented a car and just want to get from A to B or if I find myself lost or disoriented. I tend to leave 'breadcrumbs' in the form of setting Landmarks at key locations as I move around the city. I'll set one for the hotel when I arrive, one for the train stations or bus stop if I take public transport somewhere and then walk away from the stop to go exploring. That way I can always find my way back.

I've also loaded it up with Google Maps for S60, which can be quite handy at times as well.

However the city guides are a bit poor for Australia, so I've given them a miss. I think they're better in places like the US or Europe though.
