It's a shame as I quite like wayfinder. I have been running recently in parallel with a Garmin Nuvi, and wayfinder has better and more accurate voice prompting, and does seem to be quicker. with updated maps, and traffic info reinstated iot would still be a great product.

Regardless, if your maps application says 'Wayfinder' then it will expire, probably sometime this year. If you still have a valid license it shows you the expiration date somewhere on the about screen. I suggest you check that so you can get prepared and not left in the lurch like me.

"Hi Robert,
And thank you for your interest in Wayfinder Navigator. The license key
in N800 Navigation Kit is perpetual, independently on the application
version that it is used with. Therefore you are able to purchase a N800
Navkit and use the license in N810 without being limited to 36 month
license term that the new licenses have.
Best regards,
Jussi Koski, Wayfinder"

Hi Dan,
I appreciate your speedy replies. I do have one more question if you
have the time:
If I were to purchase a Nokia N800 Navkit and use the license key that
is included in the package to unlock the turn-by-turn navigation from
the maps application on my n810, would I be subject to the same 36 month
term that is currently the time period If I buy through wayfinder?
I have used the Nokia LD-3W bluetooth GPS unit, and it is exponentially
better the the built-in GPS on the N810. If the license isn't subject
to the 3 year term, it might be a more cost effective solution. I am
surprised that Nokia went in this direction, I don't know how they can
compete in this market if you compare the alternative to spend $50
dollars more for a garmin or tomtom.
Cheers,
Bob

For day to day commuting I tend to use Maemo Mapper as it has the Google (and VE) traffic overlays, which is useful although in my part of the world only the Motorways are covered.

My correspondence below:
If they have changed there policy, I would like them to dispute this email correspondence.
Hope this helps.
Maybe lobby Sygic for a Diablo version?
