Another tutorial for your enjoyment: how to use Google Maps on the N800 to find places, plan car journeys... and take a look round Area 51:

I realise there are installable navigation apps on internet tablets, but the beauty of Google Maps is you don't have to install anything, you just type three words and two dots into the browser address bar: maps.google.com

It also works really well on the tablet, the screen is easily good enough to cope with the detailed satellite photos and the browser is fast enough to render them very quickly. For me sites like Google Maps sum up the main strength of the Internet Tablet, it lets you access very advanced and very useful web-based applications without you having to install or set up anything.

It's also incredibly handy to have a free worldwide roadmap and route-planner at your fingertips when you're on the road. It might load a bit slower if you're using a mobile, but it's much faster than trying to plan a route yourself with a conventional paper map (assuming you even have one for the area you're travelling in).
