The Navicore Navigation Kit features TeleAtlas maps of the United States and Canada, and a comprehensive points-of-interest (POI) database, all of which come preloaded on the aforementioned miniSD card. Also missing is a charger for the Bluetooth receiver, but it does work with the Nokia N800's AC adapter. Now, while this probably won't be a huge deal for most drivers, in California and Minnesota, the use of suction cup windshield mounts is prohibited so the inclusion of a dash solution would have been nice. Unfortunately, the package does not include an adhesive disk for installing the mount on your dashboard, though you get a sticker for the Bluetooth receiver. There's also a locking mechanism on the mount arm to reinforce the seal between the suction cup and your windshield. After some fidgeting, we were able to slide the N800 into the cradle and it securely held the unit in place. The windshield mount requires a bit of assembly as you have to attach the cradle to the arm with a screw, and the whole apparatus is a bit bulky. The Navigation Kit for the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet consists of the Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS receiver, a 2GB miniSD card and adapter preloaded with maps, a car charger, a vehicle mount (windshield), and a software DVD. Though we'd have to carry an extra gadget, we'd rather spend the money on a dedicated GPS device, such as the TomTom One, to get smoother performance. However, we're disappointed by the Navicore navigation software as it suffers from an unintuitive interface and half-baked feature set. Priced at $239, the kit includes a Bluetooth GPS receiver, maps of North America, and most of the accessories you need for in-car use. One such solution for turning the portable Web browser into a navigator is the Navigation Kit for the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. After all, the devices have beautiful sharp screens for viewing maps and compact designs perfect for in-car travel. I have since come to realize there are more positives to the device after reviewing the revamped Nokia N800 Internet Tablet, but the GPS option is still an attractive one to me. A little while ago, I joked (OK, I was half serious) that someone had finally found a good use for the Nokia 700 Internet Tablet by turning it into a portable navigation system.
