my GPS receiver came with a free PDA cradle for the car...I tried it last night driving home with the Nokia 770. Lets say..it was free and it did work but I am sure there are better solutions.
Plus, I wish there was a way to keep the screen from blanking.

Sorry, I meant for the 770.. Guess you could "appropriate" a current one.

Of course, it wouldn't be a technical person making the decision to support the 770.
I think I've wasted a good few hours installing several of the apps on the maemo wiki, and most of them were wastes of time.
