Battery life is pretty key to these things. Though not so much for in car use.
I'm guessing Nokia's decision not to use Sirf III chipsets in their GPS enabled devices is at least in part due to wanting to go for a low powerdrain solution. Works out well on the Phones with A-GPS. Now we just need to get it added to the N810...
Where is the best place to suggest this ? I assume a Nokia forum somewhere ?
Also, on WayFinder. I just got put right off it. Did a quick local route just for the sake of it. Upon reaching my destination, it came up with "Well done, That wasn't too bad was it". Patronising or what
I miss Yoda on my TomTom.

I too once used Wayfinder on N800 for a long drive.
1. It crashed once near the destination, so need to stop the car and start the Map app again.
2. The traffic cam and speed limits showed on Swiss motor way, which felt ok.
3. I too notice rerouting bit slow.
Thinking of to sell TomTom one or not?

A brand new SonyEricsson M600i with Symbian OS and touchscreen has arrived few days ago, and since yesterday I am again happy user of TomTom Navigator. Oh, I've missed it so badly! :-)
Sorry Nokia, but I clearly prefer TomTom over Wayfinder. Once Wayfinder wanted let me drive over 1 km to U-turn and then back, although there were two possibilities to turn in between; another time it wanted I make U-turn where it was not allowed. It never happened to me until now with TomTom, and I'm using it a lot.
Another big minus: Eastern Europe maps of Wayfinder are hardly better than no maps at all: there is only one street (main transit road) in the Lithuanian town where I'm coming from. TomTom shows me all 50+ streets here, with all house numbers.
