Hi Arlindo,

yes I've got this N95 and saw the same.

Well, the GPS receiver is built in under the number block.
So for better reception you have to open the slider and
hold it up-side-down to the sky. Not that easy to read
the display then.

I have a BT-GPS-Mouse which is definitely better with the
Nokia-Sports-Tracker. I don't know the one you mention,
but external is better anyway.
