I find MM to be perfectly acceptable as an in car navigation tool. The only time I've had problems is if I need to reroute, but hotspots are so easy to find (at least in my area) that's not that much of a problem unless it's a reroute I need right at that second. Otherwise you can predownload all your routes and maps before a trip and this works great! Also because of the quality of google maps its easy enough to follow a new route by eye in a pinch.

Shortly after I typed that message, I realized that MS Streets and Trips wouldn't work on it since it's not a Windows OS. I guess I'll just have to go with Navicore Software and get the North American maps. I just wish it wasn't so damn expensive...although it does seem as though MM might have enough functionality to do what I was hoping for.

There is no other SOFTWARE for Mapping/GPS on the N800 or 770. Only MaemoMapper x.x and Navicore Personal 2007. You'll be first to know if any other come out. end of discussion.
