There is now a workaround for the n95 using TomTom and the built in GPS

I dont have an N95 to try it on, but im told it works, and it is a temporary workaround till TomTom release a proper patch

Edited to add that this isnt a full release of TomTom you still need an installed TomTom

Yes it works, I have it running on my N95 8GB.

I requires a fair bit of faffing about to get it set up but after that it's easy to use. Also have garmin running on the internal GPS but it's nowhere near as good as tomtom.

I found the opposite sort of even though not really a direct comparision. Me and the mrs went somewhere new I had my tom tom on my pda and she had the garmin on her n95. The garmin was a lot better in my opinion. (only thing missing was the john cleese voice )

The navigation is ok it's the interface I don't like. Given the choice I'd use tomtom every time (and now the hack works I do )
