You can choose between shortest, quickest and pedestrian modes and search by contacts, addresses, nearby locations and history - an interesting inclusion, but one not populated with many entries.

The device also allows to save locations under 'My Landmarks', designating them as either Home or Office-related, while, under 'Nearby'; you can drill down by POIs like banks, eateries and drink, community, entertainment and so on. One click and the Navigator automatically locates POIs from chosen category and highlights them when you pass them. Battery life, as always, depends on what you do with the device. With typical use one would probably need to recharge it every day, but stands to vary.

It's easy to forget that the 6110 Navigator is anything more than a GPS device; it's a full smartphone with all the trimmings you'd expect from Nokia. There's less free RAM than usual on the Nokia 6110, 17 MB instead of the usual 20 MB, presumably because of the built-in navigation application. This could mar its appeal to power users who routinely have many memory-hungry applications running at once, but there were no problems with the built-in applications.

The 6110's S60 browser, thankfully, supports both horizontal and vertical viewing of websites, which means they are far easier to read and navigate. It also means that flash-based sites can run in full-screen mode without any scrolling necessary. The 6110 Navigator, priced at Rs 20,869, is one of the first smartphones to provide full satellite navigation that works straight out of the box, so it may introduce a lot of phone users to the world of GPS and SatNav.
