It would be surprising if the choice of gps receiver inhibited the proper functioning of the Navicore system.

Navicore will sell you just the maps and software so, in that instance, they expect you to use your own gps receiver. Also the Navicore gps receiver is not the same as the Nokia item so there we have 2 different gps receivers that work for starters.

The benefit of buying the kit from Nokia is that you get the car mount and device holder.

I am very new to all this and it makes my life easier to buy an off the shelf package that works. I got a good deal on the N770 kit which is why I bought it but not before I went through all the same head scratching and research.

Even then I wasn’t 100% certain and my fingers were firmly crossed when I keyed in the activation code.

My only mistaken assumption was that I could get my N800 to fit in the N770 holder. It doesn’t and I have already posted in the Buy & Sell section that I am happy to do a swap with a N770 owner who buys an N800 kit.
