The GPS is free, it outputs positioning data. What costs money (subscription) is the Wayfinder routing upgrade.

Write your own routing software and you don't have to pay a thing....

The software is not the hard part relatively speaking, it's the data. Free mapping is starting to emerge (see openstreetmap.org), but unfortunately routing requires a lot more from the data...

Try downloading Maemo Mapper. It can use any of several map repositories, such as Google Maps, and it's free. It may not be quite as elegant as Wayfinder (there's no 3-D mode, for example) but it does the job quite nicely.

Is it possible to have a 'google maps' proxy server on the n810 ? Download on the SD card a part of a region.The idea behind that is to access google maps even if there is no wifi / GSM connection.

Maemo Mapper works in a number of modes such that you have access to required map data regardless of Wi-Fi and GSM connection. It stores user requested map data in memory storage areas of NIT. The only way to fully appreciate the usefulness of Maemo Mapper, is to download and try it

too bad I just get an "unable to download maemo-mapper"
when I try ....

(On the other hand, at least m-mapper shows up in my
list of installable apps, unlike samba-common)
