I keep spamming Wayfinder support asking for information about an update for my N800. I live in Hungary, and the maps for the Central European area is just useless. It is more or less detailed for large towns, but has no info about smaller cities or villages. Also it doesn't know which are the toll roads. And yes, the maps are far outdated and full with mistakes.
A friend of mine showed his mobile with Wayfinder installed, and it was so good! The maps were up to date, and full with useful infos. I asked Wayfinder about it and they answered:
Oh yeah.. Will be updated. When??

The Wayfinder systems for internet tablets and mobile phones are different. The program for mobile phones is connected to the server all the time and downloads the maps from our server. The program for the internet tablets has the maps in the device so they are usually a little bit older. Of course they will be updated too.

The more I read on this wayfinder stuff, the happer I am that I don't have it :-).
Can serve as a data point for the value of freeware, I guess :-).

wayfinder worked great for me while driving all around Provence in France for 8 days over christmas, and works pretty well for me here at home in London too, although It does tend to try and direct me on the most congested route into central London when I drive in.
I certainly don't regret buying it, also, wayfinder was my excuse to my wife to let me buy the N800 tablet in the first place and I use it every day for bookreading/browsing/scheduling too

Google Earth / Google Maps doesn't have US 14 from Waseca to Janesville, MN right. I suspect they don't publish often. 9 months ago I had a nice set of waypoints which looks weird going through cornfields.

Well, it's said that there'll be an updated version with Diablo; I haven't tried it at all, as Maemo Mapper suits my needs well, and there's a couple other projects (zmapper and roadmap) that are on my tinkering list way before I get to that stuff. So I'm not even paying attention to see when the new version shows up.

"Dear Sir
Thank you for contacting Wayfinder
The information about the Wayfinder maps being updated about four times a month apply to the Wayfinder Navigator Online-program, unfortunately not to the Navicore Personal for Internet Tablet or Wayfinder Navigator™ for Nokia Internet Tablet. At the moment, there are no map updates, but when there are, there will be information on it on our web site.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact us again."

As those who've seen my posts in the OS2008 board have seen, I've had nothing but issues with this.
See my last post here http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...t=20669&page=2 for a reply I had from Navicore Support.
