I run with my brothers who have an iPhone with Nike running app and a BB with Addidas Micoach respectively. My applications consistantly record longer routes (sometime 15%) than either the iPhone or the BB. My routes zig zag more and I am sure that this is the reason. I can only conclude that the GPS on the Nike and BB seem to be way better than my nokia? I have gps applications, sports tracker and endomondo installed on my E72.

I have the same zig zag in my route, so it's not a N95 specific problem. The routes are 5 till 10 procent longer than the actual route is. Different types of filtering makes no differerence I am using sports tracker too, but with a Nokia N73 phone and an external GPS mouse (adapt marathon).

I probably will have a run tomorrow again and I'm gonna bring the GPS filtering down to medium and the 'average speed' to once every 5 seconds. I've tried the sportstracker while driving to work and on higher speeds, the problems seems less.

Even with the latest firmware (v12). A-GPS is not accurate enough for real applications (better use a bluetooth GPS if you don't want to miss turning instructions while driving), the camera is ok but slow and lags so no action pictures can be taken, the battery doesn't even last through the day and multitasking is impossible because there isn't enough memory and it KILLS APPS WITHOUT WARNING! And the feel is not what it should be, feels like cheap plastic and the dual slider feels loose, the playback buttons are wasted space as well. Oh, and did I mention the 3.5" headphone jack? Now who's the smart ass who decided to put it in the SIDE of the device? Now I would SWAP the usb and phono plugs on the board - because IF you want a plug in it while listening to music - at least I'd love to put it in a pocket. But can you? No. Bad design. I'm sorry. Nokia, you can do better! Please do it, quickly. I wasted my money on the N95 but never use it, but I still hope to get a better phone from Nokia!

I'm sure Nokia will only continue to improve and build on what they've achieved with the N95. It's been so stable since I upgraded the firmware to v12.

Prefer the option of A-GPS for quick fix and normal GPS for Sports tracker. How do you get a access to the nokia servers in rural location (on a mountain?)
