With integrated A-GPS, Nokia Maps 2.0, car navigation and a compass for pedestrian guidance, the Nokia 6210 Navigator ensures you’ll find your way in no time from anywhere in the world.

    The A-GPS was accessed easily through a 4 pointed star which lights up when GPS is in use, located just below the the Navi™ scroll key. The lock-on timing to the satellite was way faster than my Windows CE PDA phone, the Glofiish X900. Putting it side-by-side, the Nokia 6210 Navigator locked-on by a good 3 seconds faster than the X900. Using the functions was simple enough, even without going through the manual, and I used it to find my way to my destination in Johor Bahru easily. I also tested the re-routing function of Nokia Maps by purposely not following its directional instruction, and it worked out a new route immediately. When it gave me the new route, Nokia Maps 2.0 surprised me by pointing out a u-turn to take along Woodlands Road to reach my destination.

    I installed Nokia Map Loader and the necessary maps and sound modules and was able to use GPS/A-GPS for the first time on a mobile phone. I tested the phone at my work place, which is at an industrial area. Getting a lock-on to satellite took about a minute, probably due to the many high-rise buildings surrounding. On full battery charge, I used the phone in my car and turned on Nokia Maps by pressing the unique star-shaped button. The only place the phone will remain locked-on to the satellite is the wind-screen. Having no accessories, I could only improvise with masking tape. I got to my destination in 20mins, GPS working accurately all this while without using GPRS, but the battery went flat as I stopped to park. GPS is confirmed to be a battery drainer and a car charger is a must-have accessory. Walking under buildings also kills the satellite signal. Navigation is nice to have if the battery could only last much longer and in wide open spaces. The compass, in my opinion, is just a gimmick.

    The navigation feature with integrated A-GPS was surprisingly easy to use. When using the car navigation and pedestrian walk features, the Nokia 6210 Navigator performed flawlessly once a satellite fix was obtained. There was a recurrent problem that when you are stopped, say at a red light, it re-calculates the route and it seems to get a little be-fuddled for that moment, giving a different set of instructions, but once underway, it corrects itself. Another problem is that the maps that it uses may not be totally updated or correct. Keong Saik Road was spelt as Keong Salk Road and Shangri-La Walk is not on the map. This is not a reflection of the phone’s capabilities, as it was highly accurate, but to the map supplier.
