Hi Skippy,
I might not have explained the N95's problem clearly enough.
There are a few versions of tomtom for phones, dependant on the operating system each use. iPaq uses windows mobile, My old Tre650 uses the Palm OS and Nokia 95 uses the newest Symbian OS.
The version of tomtom that runs on the symbian OS (Nokia 95) works fine in some older phones with the older symbian OS, but at the moment the internal GPS in the Nokia N95 isn't recognised by the program.
The program itself runs fine, it boots up and you can view maps, but to get any real use out of it you have to use a bluetooth gps.
This has frustrated many of the n95 users in Nokia forums I have been in.
A company in the UK anounced on their website that they were beta testing a patch, and when everyone asked them to prove it and open up their trial, the message on their webpage disappeared and those forums got very nasty.
The general concensus among the nokia forum users is that Tomtom won't worry about a patch now, as there is supposed to be a new version later in the year and it is expected to have the support for the internal GPS. I hope this is true.
The Nokia Maps program does use the internal GPS but it is crappy and doesn't have navigation support unless you pay extra and subscribe to their service.
Other SatNav programs like CoPilot and Route 66 will work with the N95 internal GPS.
TomTom is one of the last major players dragging their feet on this one.
