Maps and Maemo Mapper seem to get along fine running simultaneously - is that possible with a direct Bluetooth connection? So if NavIT can't find the bluetooth GPSr by itself I'm out of luck? (From what I've read, Navit can only access gpsd, not bluetooth or any other direct GPSr connection.) Someone has got NavIT running on an N800, but details are not available.
