Nokia shows their own Navigation Kit for the 770!

Thanks to an anonymous commenter in my previous post, I got a tip from the Nokia Europe site:

Navigation Kit for Nokia 770 Internet Tablet!

Some dreams do come true. I've done a lot of wishing and speculation on this for some time.

Highlights:
  • Europe-wide maps
  • Clear visual and spoken directions
  • Downloadable safety camera locations
  • 1 GB memory
  • Easy to carry if navigating on foot or by bike
  • Car charger which can be used with both GPS and the Nokia 770
What's in the box:
  • Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-3W
  • 1 GB DV RS-MMC Nokia Memory Card
  • Nokia Car Holder HH-12 with CR-81
  • Nokia Car Charger DC-4
  • Nokia User Guides
  • Navicore Personal 2007 DVD with software, maps, and Navicore Personal 2007 Quick Guide
I now begin to hold my breath until they bring this to the US.

A special note to my commenters: You are who keep me going with ideas and tips! Thank you all!

It's a really very nice present from the Nokia.

There are some limitations (only main roads are covered in my country :-\ ) but it's still very, very nice.

I hope that (a) they bring this to the US and (b) they decide to sell it software-only for those of us who already own a bluetooth GPS.

"How much does the Navigation Kit for Nokia 770 Internet Tablet cost?

The price of the Navigation Kit for Nokia 770 Internet Tablet from online purchases at nokia.com is 199 EUR (including local taxes)."
