Will Wayfinder work at all without a subscription? just no voice guidance or POI?

It will work as a moving map and will find locations, including POI's... No routing or voice.

Nav4all is working on a version and it will be free. I use it on my N95-3 and it works ok, but UI is lacking.

the gps in the n810 is very good- the maps are more accurate than the ones in my garmin gps (they actually get my house placed correctly- garmin/google maps/google earth have me about 200 ft east of where i actually am- n810 map has me correctly placed..

prk,
Have you by chance been able to get a sense of the GPS position lock time?

it is slooooow
the initial lock is close to 5 minutes (which was the lock time on my very 1st garmin - gps12) outside in the clear- that is the 1 bummer about the gps the other bummer is that it is a battery burner - not so much as it makes it unusable but you can see the battery go down- time to get a car charger

THanks for the response.
THat's how my Palm Vx with GPS Companion add-on was, 5 years ago. Very long initialization on clear days in the wide-open. 2 hour battery life or so. The lock on time is going to be a major point for me against upgrading to the N810. I love the keyboard & GPS idea. But I don't want to sit and wait 5 minutes every time I'm going to use GPS. Or have to fire it up inside 5 minutes prior, which may be a problem acquiring satellites.
