What’s the point?

Whether you’re driving, backseat driving, or driving yourself mad waiting for the next toilet stop, your Nokia’s got the skills to keep you occupied, on the road and on the right track.

Is it free?

Some apps are free, others will make you pay for your in-car entertainment.

Sold! How do I do it?

Step 1: Need an app to keep you pointed in the right direction?

Nokia Maps is the obvious choice if your phone has GPS, but if not you should check out Google Maps for your mobile. Not only will let let you search for addresses, companies and attractions, it’ll show traffic alerts too, and even guess your approximate location using mobile masts. Best of all, it’s free - how’s that for the ultimate road trip companion?

Step 2: Staying on track is a driver’s dream, but you want to be entertained on the move too, right?

Sure, your car radio’s an option, but crumbly old FM radio’s hardly ideal, and if you’ve got a fancy motor with DAB installed, that’ll limit your choice too. Instead, give Nokia Internet Radio a whirl. It’ll tune you in to stations around the world, with dozens of different styles of music, chat, or comedy.

Step 3: A spot of internet radio’s fine and dandy if you need to keep your eyes on the road, but what if you’ve got passengers? What if you’re a passenger yourself?

Yep, your Nokia’s you covered here too. Install the DivX player, and your phone will transform into a personal multiplex, ready to show off movies in the back seat. Follow our tutorial here, and find out how.

Step 4: Taking your car off road?

If you’ve got an N95 you should dash-mount your mobile, and head here to download the N95 inclinometer. It’ll use your phone’s built-in tilt sensor to tell you what angle your car’s at. It can’t, however, help you out when you get stuck in a ditch.
