Guys Don't bother with anything that doesn't have sirf III and waas. I'm quite amazed with my itrek m3... it works indoors some places (even in the local one-story supermarket) and it easily works anywhere in the car, not just from the dashboard.

Nokia has one that uses the same charger as Nokia phones. I didn't know that when I bought my NaviLock BT-308, which uses the same charger as an HP iPaq that I don't have. http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,83253,00.html It seems that the LD-3W uses the same charger (DC-4) as Nokia 770, while LD-1W uses a different one (LCH-12).

Marius , If you happen to be putting together some kind of presentation or material, it would be great if it is linked or available from maemo.org to benifit others :), may be we can put it in news section, or presentations section or something cheers Devesh It seems to me that applications and demo are the most interesting part.
