I just was wondering if you need to get a GPS reciever to plug into this to make it a true GPS mobile device? Or am I able to download Maemo Mapper or whatever it's called and download all of the roads in the midwest or the states that I travel in and will it be able to tell me where to turn or keep track of where I'm at? Or would the GPS reciever need to be connected to it?

My 2nd question is how long does the device last if you only listened to MP3s? Somewhere I think i read up to 12 hours but I wanted to see what you guys thought and if it worked very well as a media player or not. Are you able to put iTunes onto it? Or is there a better media manager to use on it?

Thanks in advance to all responses

Both of these questions have been answered before...many times...

Use search.

for simple directions when im offline, i jusr grab a screen shot froom my desktoop pc of the map, save as a photo, and drop it on my n800...

works when i know where i will be .. i have not messed with mapper yet but will have to shortly... it really needs offline route calculation to take the place oof a true GPS.

as for mp3 player, i really bont use that to much, i use internet radio alot, but i can tell you i can sit with wifi on and the n800 idling or streaming for over 66 hours and still have lots of battery left, wifi is a battery sucker, i would say 10 hours is very realistic.
