Yeah, no ish...

I paid the freight early on for the future usability karma... To date though, it looks like they took the money and ran.
No usability improvements and the big one... You can not "upgrade (the) devices firmware unless (you) agree to a 36 month subscription licensing change".

BTW, I didn't say I agreed with the ethics of either party... My feelings on the subject were best described in this post that I have reprinted here for my ammusement...

I have favorably reviewed and used the product since >>http://my.opera.com/yodude/blog/2007...e-screen-shots

So... while waiting for this "Wayfinder" upgrade I was hoping this app would have improved. It has not.

IMHO, a better alternative to purchasing the "Wayfinder" app for either the N800 or the N810 @ $129 for 36 months would be to purchase a stand alone car navigator for the same or less..

>> $129.00 or $99.00

You will get the features you want, quicker GPS fix, and although they are smaller screen sizes than the N800/10's, they actually show about the same size map when in the navigation mode.



VS.



No one has been a bigger fan of the Navicore/Wayfinder app than me on this site. However, if the tablets are to be a consumer device then IMHO, consumers should vote with their $$$'s and purchase alternatives until someone produces an app that utilizes the tablets full potential.

Wayfinder could have been so much more than this sophomoric effort that they have presented us.
IMHO, consumers should vote with their $$$'s (and avoid this upgrade or) purchase alternatives until someone produces an app that utilizes the tablets full potential.
Vote with your pocket book.
