Op zoek naar een handige oplossing voor GPS in de auto, gecombineerd met een koppeling naar onze database die PALM software ondersteund (zodat je snel een route naar een klant kunt plannen) maar niet te veel laders, snoertjes en andere ellende in de auto willen hebben kwam ik de GPS module voor de Nokia 9200 tegen. Op zich een perfecte oplossing, zeker in combinatie met de TomTom software. Maar wat schetst mijn verbasing nadat ik kwijlend door de FAQ aan het lezen was........ Lees zelf de laatste regel maar:

8. Can I use my own landmarks when planning a route?
Yes. Memorize your location in RoutePlanner using the Find-Memorize cursor and store a quick key for 10 locations. You can use these quick keys (0-9) in route planning as either departures or destinations. In CityMaps you can store your own location as an overlay and, when planning a route, pick the overlay for your route point.

9. Can I plan routes without the Nokia GPS Module?
Yes. You can view maps and plan routes even when the Nokia GPS Module is not attached, or if you have disabled the GPS from the GPS menu. In other words, no GPS coverage is needed for this function.

10. Why can't the Nokia GPS Module accessory be used with the Advanced HF Car Kit optimized for the Nokia 9200 Communicator Series?
In order to utilize the functionalities of the attachable Nokia GPS module, the cover of the Nokia 9200 Communicator needs to be open. This is not possible when the Nokia Communicator is placed in the Nokia Car Kit optimized for the Nokia 9200 Communicator Series. Nokia recommends the Nokia Communicator be kept in the car holder while driving. For safety reasons, Nokia does not recommend using the Nokia GPS Module LAM-1 when driving a car.
