    You can connect it to a gps via bluetooth, but I dont think theres any satnav software for it.

    so thats a no then. are there any plans to make software for it? they can do it for smart phones, is the k800i really too primitive to handle it?

    sure is, no GPS for it, however, if your willing to use a crappy java based GPS program, there may be one in the works

    unless you can code one via java I doubt it..

    the m600's etc should be better as they're running symbian, but that doesn't help you with the k800..

    I've seen a few Java-based ones, but they stream the maps over your phone's data connection. If you've got unlimited data like T-Mobile's web'n'walk then you're sorted, otherwise it's going to get very, very expensive.

    Smartphones really are the best way to go if you want a phone with satnav.

    Just found this, wayfinder.com. It appears to work with the k800i, just downloading the trial myself

    I think wayfinder uses downloaded directions and maps, so make sure you have plenty of data with your contract.
