[Reader-users] (no subject)

I have WF on my n82 with the Reader and Talks. It all functions fine 
together. I have a small bluetooth GPS receiver the Holux m1000 which 
I used with my previous phone before I got the n82. But now I just 
use the built-in GPS on the phone. There is another listserv for WF 
users and on there some like using the n82's GPS while others have a 
bluetooth external. Mostly folks use an external because it uses less 
battery. I will say that it does drain the battery pretty fast using 
the phone's internal GPS receiver, but It's handier so I like it. I 
have an extra battery I can switch to if it gets too low. I'm going 
to see if Nokia has a car charger so when I'm using the GPS in the 
car I can plug it in. That will help with the battery issue when I'm 
not walking using it. WF is very accessible with Talks. It's not as 
good a GPS system as say Trekker, but for the money it does well.

I'd also encourage you to try the Nokia Maps program that came on the 
n82. The map part isn't accessible and it doesn't work in pedestrian 
mode, but in a car or just to explore an area it's accessible to put 
an address in and search for it. Then you can view all kinds of 
places near by. It's quite facinating really to see what is around 
you. If there's something you want more info on it gives the number 
and address and you can click on it to call there. Give it a try.
