New York with an N95 8GB

Howard - he of the Forums fame - tells us on his blog that he has been to New York, and to help him find his way round he took an N95 8GB.

Using the GPS (he paid for ’30 days of walking navigation’), Howard wanted to use the device to find his way to his hotel and to restaurants. His honest summation is that GPS in New York City is a bit of a hit and miss affair, with so many tall buildings interfering with the signal. Sometimes he’d get a quick fix, others not. He says that next time he’ll consider ‘playing around’ with the 4 available GPS methods to see if he can better results.

Have you had similar GPS issues? Can you suggest a fix for Howard? Head over and let him know how you get the best from your GPS.
