TomTom running on Nokia 6680 (left) and N95 (right).

Background:
In June 2006 I got a Nokia N80 as an upgrade to my 6680. Imagine my disappointment when I found that TomTom ran on the N80 at such a low frame rate that I found it unusable. I sold the N80.

It is now June 2007 and I have received a Nokia N95 as an upgrade. Faster CPU, more memory, the bees knees.

I wasn't able to install TomTom right away because my N95 didn't come with a memory card, but while I was waiting for it to be delivered I tried out Nokia Maps and Google GMAPS. Both run superbly at a frame rate as smooth as you like.

As soon as the memory card (Sandisk Ultra II 2GB - didn't want slow memory to be an issue) arrived I got TomTom running on the N95 and...OH NO!!! It was worse than the N80!!!

Here's a video for you to see for yourselves.

Tech details:
Both phones were in Offline mode.
TomTom was the only app running.
6680 running TomTom 5.
N95 running TomTom 6.
Both displays have the same options.
6680 has a cheapo memory card.
N95 has a Sandisk Ultra II memory card.

If this is as good as TomTom gets on the N95 then I'll either get a refund on the TomTom 6 and sell my N95, or start using different sat nav software.

Any suggestions?

    wj0102, try reading previous posts and watching the follow-up video before making daft comments.

    I'll still bet your N95 isn't as smooth as the 6680.

    You CAN use tomtom 6.02 on the n95 i hav had no problems whatsoever with tomtom 6.02 only thing is u need an external gps reciever. I am usin a 4gb micro sd card? did u install the sis file to ur phone memory or ur memory card? The N95 is a good phone bar the fact it does crash every now and then. But im happy with it

  • TomTom 5 is not ...

    TomTom 5 is not available for Symbian 6v3 (N95), and TomTom 6 is not available for Symbian 6v2 (6680), so this is as fair a comparison as we can get.

  • It would be a more ...

    It would be a more fair comparison to have TT 5 running on both.

    I have a medion satnav with TT5 and the instructtion I got for that said not to install TT6 on it or it will run slow.

    Have you tried TT 5 on the n95?

  • It certainly S**ks ...

    It certainly S**ks in this video but I have commented that by removing POIs the performance improves, unfortunately not to the 6680 standard but it is acceptable. I now use my N95 over my 6680 for TomTom all the time.
