Nokia's Navigation Kit for the N800

Nokia's Navigation Kit for the N800 Internet Tablet works great when used in a car in metropolitan outskirts. However, the unit seems a bit pricey for what you get, is ill-suited to outdoor use, and seems to struggle holding a fix when the battery gets low. The Kit consists of a small, Nokia-branded 'LD-3W' hardware GPS receiver unit, a sturdy, highly configurable windshield mount for the N800, and a 2GB SD card containing navigation software and maps (choose Europe or North America/Canada). TeleAtlas supplied the maps, while the navigation software was supplied by Navicore, a small, recently-acquired. Nokia needs to improve some features of this gadget.
