I really hope they're not taking the code from Maemo Mapper and using it...I mean you just don't know. That would suck. No maps for the US by the way.

Ouch. According to Engadget.com, this thing is going to be almost $250. That includes the receiver, the software, and a car mount. That's how much I paid for my 770.
Worth it?
I'm thinking that buying a bluetooth GPS receiver for $50 to $60 and using Maemo Mapper would be much more fiscally responsible than spending $250 on this solution. I had high hopes for this thing, too.
*sigh*

Well engadget is just guesstimating the price. They arrived at the $250 figure by converting the euro 199 price from the press article. I would expect it to be around $199 price range for the kit which seems ok considering that you would get the bluetooth gps receiver + Navicore software + 1gig rs-mmc card and holder.
