I guess you can run any java based GPS app, like Nav4all, Mobile G maps etc. I just downloaded Amaze GPS to it (freeware)

, works fine. I havenīt come across any app that allows you to store maps on the memorystick yet, but I think Amaze is working on it.

Here is a (pretty) newpress relase from wayfinder that says that youīre gonna be able to have maps pre-installed on the C905, so hopefully this means you can have it on the C702 aswell since they both are "not smartphones"

Iīve sent an E-mail to wayfinder regarding this, Iīll update when/if I get an answer.

Mobile Gmaps is Ok for stored maps on memory stick
For those who owning C702, did you found the battery cover is a bit lose at the right hand side?
My device after the cover closed, feeling the cover not very tight with the device..

I (think) had the same problem with mine, The battery cover can be (very) tricky to get tight, you have to be a bit brutal and use some force (and probaly use some ugly and nasty words too) to get it tight.
Make sure the thin rubber sealing "around" the battery is in the correct place, stick the top of the cover in first, make sure the lock screw is in unlock position(mine did turn around when I was "fighting" with the cover to get it in place) , squeze down (here is were you use some nasty words) both sides until it "snap" in place, press down the bottom part and lock it........ Phew.... now hopefully itīs tight.
Thatīs the way I did it, not saying itīs the right way.

lol
Just insert a slight paper piece in between the battery cover and o-wing to fill the gap, seems fix my problem...
SE claimed C702 is IP54 headset, I put a big question mark on it regrading this case

Got a reply from Wayfinder today, translated and a bit shortened:
With Wayfinder Navigator you can save maps on your memorystick for use with C702, however you still have to have a working GPRS/3G connection to use wayfinder. With "pre loaded maps" you have less data downloaded to your C702, but you canīt access the stored maps without a working GPRS/3G connection (the application will not start). With preloaded maps you have a average data consumption about 30-60 kb/ hour while driving.
Unfortunately thereīs no complete onboard solution for C702 available from Wayfinder.
Well, not really the best solution, but atleast you have the option to minimize downloaded data.

I thinks WayFinder require an active connection to validate your license and perform a real time search...

Wayfinder do two versions, a preinstalled with a "one off" fee and a subscription online version. Only the second is available to the c702, so each time you run the program its checks to see if your subscription is current and downloads the maps for your journey, though if you have them in the phone already it will skip this part.

so is the preinstalled a temp subscription that will run for 30 days or so?
What do you guys think is the best gps/nav app for C702
