Before I accidentally discovered that my N810 is neither water- nor dropresitant ( o.k., I shouldn't look for a geocache under a smalll bridge with the N810 in my pocket ), I hat mamemo mapper, gpxview and minigpsd running on it. The nice thing about minigpsd is that it saves your track, automatically creating new files every five minutes ( configurable, of course ) and writes the full NMEA data into the saved files, too. So, you lose at most five minutes of data. Regards, Hakan You might want to install minigpsd.
