I'm finding that it's quite difficult to acquire 3 satellites when walking the streets in Brussels. I suspect all the concrete buildings and narrow streets are the hinderance. Is there an alternativ ... |

I never attempted to get mapolis going on the m130 w/ gps. However, I'm seeing a better option, possibly. The Delorme Earthmate GPS LT-40 is quite cheap, and supports palmos as old as 3.5.

What is the OS? Is it a Symbian variant or something new?
It uses Maemo, which is a variant of Debian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N800).
BTW, I didn't think Symbian was linux. I keep ... |

Has anyone attempted to run TTN6 on a PalmOS emulator?
I'm assuming TomTom does not make a linux version that will run on a Nokia N800, but there is a Palm emulator for linux. |

I am a pilot, so your feedback was indeed helpful. Though the price is nuts, perhaps even for aviation.
I figured the s/w would be lacking; but then I could always take an interest in writing it m ... |

I've noticed only high-end all-in-one nav systems have gyroscope support. I've been searching around for a bluetooth or even serial gyroscope, so PDA users can get the same feature, with no success. ... |

Good finds people! Could be useful for advanced planning.
I hope Google Maps for Palm will talk directly to TTN6 for palm at some point. Also looks like GE for the Mac doesn't support it yet.. ... |

You appear to be confused as to what Google Earth is. Firstly it is a desktop application for a PC or Mac, it cannot be used on a PDA of any sort.
