Nokia devices go on a road trip

July 4th, 2008 at 10:06 am

Matthew, writing on Darla Mack’s pages, is currently on a family vacation, and is testing several devices on the way.

Using an N95-3 and an N810 as his main ‘computers’ (Matthew has a laptop, but wants to see if the devices can replace it), and an LD-3W GPS unit, he is attempting to navigate his way around the Northwestern US without using a paper map. He is currently deciding which ‘man’ to argue with (we all do it) – the British, the American or the Spanish guy – and the kids are having a giggle at his expense. On the serious side, though, he’s found the Bluetooth LD-3W unit to be less of a battery drain than GPS on the device. He says the guidance has been ‘more helpful than annoying’, so look out for further updates of the family’s adventures.

Have you tried, like Matthew, to survive just using your devices? Have you got any advice on what he should try? Jump over to the site and let him know what you suggest.
