[Reader-users] battery life

[Charlie Richardson]

I have some light perception, but I don't use a Bluetooth headset.

As far as Wayfinder goes, before I had my N-82 I used Loadstone GPS on my 
6682.  It is a free program that I was lucky enough to find maps to load for 
my area.

Why I installed Wayfinder is Loadstone is having problems loading on a 
version 3 of Simbian operating system which the N-82 runs on.  I found the 
documentation of Wayfinder to be basic and not tell me how to use all the 
features, but I've figured out a thing or two on my own.  I also like the 
fact that there are over 20,000,000 points of interest on Wayfinder.

Couple things I would like to do is mark intersections as a destination and 
enter my own point of interest, such as certain bus stops.
