This has SiRF-StarIII chipset... to please most of you GPS freaks...

It has full size SDHC slot and plays media (audio/video) and can play through your car stereo via built in FM transmitter.

EDIT: It has Windows CE OS, so it's likely keeping most of us away from it...

If you expect that, you'll be sorely disappointed...

Just wondering if this has lifetime Wayfinder license, and if it could be transferred to N8x0? As a bonus you'll get the full windshield mount kit... After these $100 is not that bad deal at all even if you throw the 500 away...

N800 car kit costs like 50 EUR. Sirf-III costs 10-30 EUR. MTK costs 50 EUR.

I'd rather buy a TomTom. At least it runs Linux
