Just wondering if I purchase an N800 and already have a small bluetooth Holux GPS device, can I use this with the N800? Wouldnt I need linux software for the device? If I can get it to work, what software options on the linux do I have at this time?

Maemo Mapper for OS2007, or built in software with OS2008

Use the search option for your type of GPS and for the software for the OS2007 and OS2008. There is ALOT of info already posted about this it just takes a little searching.

Thank you. Sorry I misubderstand one point. I know the Holux Slim 236 bwill work, according to other posters. Once I install Maemo Mapper, do I need to insatll a seperate driver for the holux like I did with my pocket pc? Or does Maemo mapper do that for me?

No driver needed, mmapper should find it by itself...
