Nokia 6110 shows GPS mobiles could overtake satnav gadgets

GPS satellite navigation isn't in that many mobile phones yet, but the number is increasing. Over on the Mobile Choice site, you can read a two-part review (part 1 / part 2) of the Nokia 6110 Navigator handset, which includes Route 66 Navigator software and a full set of UK streetmaps for getting around.

"We have to say it was hard to fault the 6110 sat nav performance during our test. Its route search and calculation was slick and speedy, the voice instructions carried well in noisy car environments, the Route 66 software was stable and although you could argue the display is a tad small, it’s a small price to pay for a convenient convergence package."

Does this mean thousands of motorists will be throwing out their standalone satnav gadgets and relying on their phones, though?
