We'll I'd just like to get the new Wayfinder running. I've just tried installing it on my new N810.
I just purchased the new Wayfinder Navicore that just became available a few days ago. I chose to download it to my PC and use their PC based install facility to load it on my N810. First of all, the download took something like 11+ hours. It was downloading (creeping) at something like 48k baud. The download was 1.4GB.
First I upgraded to OS2008 2.2007.50-2 - required for the new wayfinder - which went fairly smoothly, although after a backup restore I still had to re-install several apps.
I decided to place the Nav files on my internal memory card, which already had the normal map files on it, so I (probably foolishly) uninstalled the std map app, and deleted the map files already on the internal drive. I now had 1.9gb free. I hooked up my usb to the N810 and I ran Wayfinder's Windows XP based Nokia install application. It successfully copied the files to my N810's internal mc.
I then went to the N810 application manager and installed Navicore from the .deb file that was on the imc. It installed successfully. The Navicore desktop applet even showed up. HOWEVER, when I tried to execute Navicore, "Navicore loading..." appears for about 5 seconds then simply disappears with no Navicore running. Using xterm and executing the "top" command, confirms it is not running.
So I'm stuck. I sent a web page form e-mail to support. I'd like to phone them but they won't let you do that without a license key. Although I got purchase confirmation e-mails, I've not yet received a license key, so I can't do this. Additionally, it turns out that to send support an e-mail, you have to be sure your're on the correct support mail page. The "main" support mail page doesn't list the N770/N8X0 devices. You have to browse about a bit.
Its becoming a real PITA. Just thought I'd relate my fun. Will be interesting to see it if get a response or solution.
