Nokia 5800 - Part 1

[duke17]

Actually, After a few tries with the GMXT on N5800, I begin to like it. In fact it has more powerful features than my dedicated GPS Zumo 550. The only drawback is the power consumption. For short distances it is fun to use. But for long trips in the car, you have to connect it to the car charger.

You can aslo use the N5800GMXT on a bike. To do so you will need special mounts and a waterproof casing with flexible screen cover for the touch screen.
below are pictures and links where you can purchase them.

Can't remember. I think it did'nt cost much. Stability wise, I think it is quite good.
Disadvantage..could'nt connect to battery directly.

wow looks good on ur duke! thanks for the info.

By the way, someone custom made a holder for his bicycle for his iphone! maybe i can give it a try for my bike. hee..probably need to find a suitable casing for the phone. not weather proof though..but i seldom use it..so it's ok i guess. good for budget hunters! hope it helps for those who are interested.

Yes it does support voice navigation. You don't even need to install the voice files. By default there is already voices for you to choose from. and it is turned on by default.
