The pedestrian mode in Nokia Maps doesn't and won't read and the vehicle mode only reads if the option is purchased so it's not a good solution for anyone who wants to use a GPS program for walking.

Hi Mike:

I just checked acessiblegps.com and noticed that you do not mention Nokia
Maps.  I would say it falls between Loadstone and Wayfinder in both
robustness and cost.

Eric,

I think Kim is talking about a different application which isn't
actually GPS. With cell towers far apart in the U.S., it isn't very useful.

Wayfinder Access may not be as good as Geo but it is certainly a
descent program and cover the basics fine. If you like your N95 and
are going to stick with it, Wayfinder Access is worth considering.

You can find details on this and all the accessible GPS programs at
http://www.AccessibleGPS.com including reviews.
