Hi -

I have an N800 with an enternal BT GPS (no name brand with the latest chipset).

wayfinder and maemo mapper find my bt device all by themselves - but roadmap couldnt, and didnt give me any messages.

When I connected the gps to wayfinder - roadmap and the roadmap gps display tool then found the gps just fine. If I disconnect wayfinder - it looses the connection.

Anyway - once over that hurdle and downloading the map set for florida wasnt too problematic.

Tried it on the way to work yesterday and I had to manually get the maps refreshed. That is if I left the unit running - the gps point would go off the map - and the map would not auto refresh.

Anyone else seeing this? Did I miss a config option somewhere? "G"/satelite button as descibed earlier did not seem to do anything. Will retry on the way home tonight.

Screen update speed - cpu utilization did not seem to be an issue.
