It's a Nokia touchscreen phone loaded with the latest Nokia Maps firmware, a 30MB free roadmap of the whole philippines with tons of points of interests, and a UK female voice for voice navigation. I use another Nokia app to record my route then later upload it to Openstreetmap to enhance the online Philippine roadmap or to drive uncharted routes that you can back track later to get home using the recorded tracks. I blogged about it if you're interested of details. Nokia has good maps because years ago they bought Navteq. Yes, I use the GPS in my phone.

But from what I've heard, the Phiilippines/Metro Manila isn't actually accurately mapped out on GPS. And I'm not sure if they update the information there often as we usually have changed in traffic routes here. So, GPS.. maybe in the future. Right now, no.

It's a dead-easy way to measure distances when doing site inspections of large parcels. All you have to do is mark points along the boundary of the parcel and measure the distance traveled.
