For the Nokia users, you can try

It has support for GPS with MG Maps, and there’s a release specifically for N95. Use the .jar files – installs easier using Nokia PC Suite.

Well, the updated install on my E61 says it’s at version 1.5.1 (#1025), and there doesn’t seem to be any way to get it to talk with my external Bluetooth GPS device. I suspect only the Helio / WinMo / BB specific releases have the functionality for now, and the unwashed masses using the generic J2ME version are being left out in the cold for now :).

As Dameon already reported, it does not yet work on the N95. I updated the install today and it’s still a point release behind…

The Windows Mobile version of Google Maps for Mobile has always had GPS support. I still haven’t heard of any Java-based device other than the BlackBerry 8800 being able to take advantage of the new GPS support.

Thank you, Frank! I was beginning to wonder if it only worked on the Blackberry 8800! ;-)

Works great with the built in GPS on a HTC P3300

One problem. If you tell it to go from any place in the U.S. to any place overseas (eg London) it will tell you to jump in the Atlantic Ocean and swim 3000+ miles. That may not work well in a vehicle and may get your GPS wet.

Doesn’t work on the Nokia N95, which has integrated GPS support.

Unfortunately it does not work with my Blackberry 7100i :( The yahoo one does, but it is not as good and you have to pay for it. :(

I believe it works with bluetooth GPS solutions as well as built-in.

Does the phone need to have built in GPS? I’m assuming yes but wanted to be sure…
