I then bring M/M back up in full screen mode and have the best of both worlds... satellite imagery with nice voice guidance.

I use Nutter's Maemo Mapper Mod with M/M 2.2 so I can have 4 gig of maps stored on my removable memory card and I keep Wayfinder on my internal card. That way I only need to connect to the net if I want to stop and drill down the zoom.

Auto rotate and pan work flawlessly and the only performance hit can be seen in the lead amount. Without Wayfinder I set my position to the lower fifth of the M/M screen. However, when I fire up Wayfinder in the background the lead jumps up to 2/3rds of the screen...

I think it is a small price to pay for a good navigator that shows real imagery instead of line drawings.
Sounds awsome, this didn't come up to my mind . Maybe you are right about buying this wayfinder product, I allready used trial and searching street adress and making route plan was so easy compared to maemo mapper. Usually with MM I end with somekind of error message and it won't find any street adress and route plan doesn't work easy.

After some hard google and searching best choise for me I notice that nav4all is planning to relase nav4all for free to N800. I do own n810 but I guess it will run with it too. http://www.nav4all.com/site2/www.nav...nguk/index.php
