Re: Using N810 as a bluetooth GPS module

Never mind.

I did the "GPSPIPE" thing listed earlier and it worked fine with miniGPSD.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

Hey, I'd love to get something like the old terraserver-USA (USGS maps) working again. I use my N810 for hiking trips in the mountains quite a bit.

Re: Replace keyboard keys (hardware mod)

Me too.

Actually all I need is the key-caps part, my membrane part is just fine.

Other parts I would like is a replacement DC power jack, and maybe a new touch screen if it is cheap enough.

Re: N810 not recognizing charger
