Get Your Exact GPS Location With An Application Already Built Into Your N82


I often overlook some of the applications that you can find in under the N82's "Tools" and "Utilities" folders. Buried there is an application called GPS Data which gives you all the details of your current location in the world. This isn't a Maps or Tracking application - it's just there to give you details about your current location.

Obviously this information isn't handy for day use, but it's nice to know it's there. Pilots, hikers, navigators, explorers would find this useful. There is a handy Navigation part of the application which lets you specify a location and it lets you know how far away it is and which direction to go. Very simple, learn more below.

Screenshots and details...

GPS Location



Latitude & Longitude, Altitude, Speed, etc are shown.

Trip Distance



This allows you to keep track of a trip, walk, run, etc if you don't need something like Sports Tracker. It keeps track of your distance, time, speed, etc.

Navigation




This feature shows you which direction you are heading and allows you to set a destination, which shows up as a dot on the compass. As you can see I'm heading in the wrong direction. Destinations can be selected from coordinates or landmarks in your Nokia Maps or Google Maps application.

Whether or not you find this application useful, it's nice to know that it's there.

What other hidden gems have you found on your Nokia device?
