Because of Nuvifone la... :mrgreen:

p/s I heard it's not just Symbian S60 platform, all other versions too will remain as it is with no further updates.

On the contrary, because they know GMXT is not making money already, how many are actually using legit GMXT? :-'

Me :peace: 1 out of 10 time i only use the nokia internal gps. Why? Simply the 10x better accuracy, fast locking & most importantly, save my phone battery juice

Lucky this time the ver 5.0.50 still can run on my n97, but dunno what happen in future, perhaps Papago?
