Only the map software without routing is available. If you want routing you can get a testperiod (2 weeks???)... then you will have to pay for the license!

Routing and Voice commands are both included in the license!

I'm planning to buy a BT GPS, but don't want to get it if i'll miss out a lot if I don't purchase the navigation

What am I missing out?
Without the license you just get GPS display (current location) and # of miles to your destination. You don't get any kind of turn by turn or anything.

Not sure if it's 36 months, and I haven't done any dual booting OS's yet, but just be aware that the navicore software does NOT work on OS2008, so you would need to run OS2007 if you wanted to use the old software you purchased (on a N800)


ALSO:

If you've activated your license on an old N800 and you want to use it on your new N810 (like me) you have to call Navicore customer support to reset your license key. I've had to do it before when my N800 was warranty replaced, but I'm not sure how easy that will be with all the buyouts going on with these companies.

best,

I don't think you have to call them: you can also deactivate your license in the navicore/wayfinder-menu and use the key on any other device - I did this, before I upgraded from OS2007 to OS2008.

That's right, de-activate the license, install the software, and then re-activate. I tend to do this prior to reflashing with a new Os, just in case Navicore sees it as a new device.

Of course Navicore are very good with issuing a fresh licence key but, with my Microsoft experiences in such matters, the less I place myself at the mercy of these companies activation processes the better.

N810 holder in sales package is compatible with Nokia HH-12 mount which can be installed to the windshield. You don't need to use the mount in sales package

EDIT: Guess I'm blind, Framerate already answered this question

Response I received from Wayfinder customer service regarding using the Navicore CD key.

Dear Sir
Thank you for contacting Navicore

You can use your Navicore 2007-license code in the OS 2008 Wayfinder software. The
license code is not a 36-license, but it should work as a normal license.

Best regards, Navicore customer service

That package is new. It wasn't available a few hours ago.
But the package version is the same (2.2.6.377-1). 0 kb update... curious...
