Just a small post to compare Nokia Maps for Romania with Navigon MN6.
In general the Nokia Maps are more detailed for Romania then Navigon MN6. As seen on the picture bellow, the railroad is shown on the map when using Nokia Maps.
But what I very often see here in Romania is that the roads are not correct. Of course I'm driving on the roads and not offroad, but Nokia Maps very often shows that I'm driving next to the road, somewhere on the field and not on the road.
See the screenshot of Nokia Maps while driving on a country road in the north east of Romania.
The same position as shown with Navigon MN6 on the picture bellow. The railroad is not shown, but I'm clearly driving on the road according to the map even if the maps is not as detailed as at Nokia Maps.
The "real" speed you are driving is not shown on the screen while navigating. You have to switch to this window shown bellow by pressing "9" during navigating.
Be careful when u driving around next to the road at 105km/h and playing with yr phone... :):):) or u have yr girlfriend do all the screenshots?

It's nice that Navigon shows the powerreserve of the phone. Strange that there is a problem with the roads. Both (Mavigon and Maps) use maps from NavTeQ. Occasionally I saw this problem of driving next to the road. It happened for 3 reasons as far as I could detect:
1) The road was moved in the last couple of months (new road).
2) There were reflections (high buildings) causing a spatial shift in coordinates.
3) Radio interference. There are a couple spots where when I drive there, my positions locks does very weird things. Like leaping a 100m to the left.
3) Software bug. The phone is confused. Sometimes after an hour or more Map seems to be able to get confused and give weird results. A reboot of Maps usually solves it. Looks like it is having trouble reading out the GPS data.
Note that my old Garmin GPS does not like being next to a GSM (20 cm or so). The GSM signals create weird data on the GPS antenna and gives erroneous positiondata. I guess the Nokia solved this for the phone itself but other phones/signals might still confuse it.

Don't worry, not me, my girlfriend was driving with 105 km/h and I was taking care of the screenshots and the GPS. :-)
