Strange, the N80 has disappeared from the list of phones. It used to say "coming soon" just like the rest of the S60 release 3 phones, but it's nowhere to be seen now.
Rafe
Yes I'm trying to get an update on the N80 status.
pylchung
I had a reply from Navicore saying that it'll be out for the N80 in the next couple of weeks. There's still some things to fix for the N80 apparently.
Rafe
Yes that exactly what I was told too. We should have a review of Navicore in due course.
pylchung
I look forward to the review. I bought Route 66 for my N80 and I don't like it all that much. It doesn't look like TomTom are going to release anything for S60 v3 any time soon. I really liked that on my 6680.

I bought the software yesterday and tried it on my Nokia E61 with Nokia LD-W3 GPS receiver today. No problems beside some glitches with forgotten display preferences after each power on cycle and some strange UI concepts (changing volume only within preferences dialog, the E61 speaker volume keys doesn´t work). Overall: Fast route calculation, much faster than TomTom on my N70. Position updates on map could be a little bit faster. I recognized a short delay even at slow speeds in the city. Voice guidance is clear and timed correctly.

Having issues with E61 and Navicore from day 1 - program suddenly stops working for no reason and when trying to restart program gives me a: "Menu: unable to execute file for security reasons" - no way to restart other that ejecting SD card and reinserting (not convenient when ur driving!). So far Navicore helpdesk have not provided a solution - looks like a new product on a new phone: not tested well......
