Or, if you're on a budget, buy a N800 (which is half of the price of the N810) and a Bluetooth GPS, which you can use with your phone and GpsMid.<br><br>[]<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 19:37, Christoph Eckert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ce@christeck.de">ce@christeck.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>If you are a bit of a geek, maybe a Nokia N810 would be a good choice. There<br>
are several kewl open source apps available:<br>

Maemo Mapper is an excellent application, even providing<br>
turn-by-turn-directions (never used it BTW, as I use it on a bike). Caveat:<br>
Routes are caclulated on the server side beforehand, no live routing. Adding<br>
waypoints currently is broken.<br>
