</div>I've been very happy with my Nokia N810 internet tablet. The built-in<br>
GPS seems pretty good - I thought it had lost it going through some<br>
light woodland the other day, as I was on a bit of already mapped road,<br>
but in fact mine was right and the existing was wrong. Of course it does<br>
lose signal sometimes. When I bought it I did some side-by-side session<br>
with my Garmin Geko 301 and I think the Nokia was more accurate and lost<br>
the signal less often.<br>
<br>
I've adapted the in-car holder to be a handlebar mount on my bike, and<br>
made some minimal changes to its Maemo Mapper application so that I get<br>
one-touch-anywhere-on-the-screen auto-numbered waypoints (which means I<br>
can wear gloves in winter and still get waypoints). I can use a<br>
bluetooth earphone/mic to take an audio commentary on the device, and<br>
when I get home the WAV files and GPX files can just be copied over the<br>
network on WiFi and synced in JOSM using the continuous audio features I<br>
added.<br>
