I'm all for that:
...but I'm hoping that WiMAX sticks around and that we don't have to worry about a LTE/WiMAX war.

I don't use Maemo Mapper, but I understand that for it to use the internal GPS on the N810, it must be configured to use a Bluetooth GPS, but with a nearby text entry field left blank. I expect the N810WE would use the same settings. Is this what you're trying?

(I still like WayFinder, but my wife and co-worker tease me about the "lame graphics." Too many have grown up on Google maps)

For a real PoS GPS, see the Dash Express:

WayFinder is FAR BETTER than a Dash Express, even though the Dash Express has realtime traffic and internet searches.

Did your current 810WME (not) work on the DigitalBridge network in Idaho?
