Ok, i found a solution to using gps on the folio via bluetooth. There is an app called gpsredirect for winmo5 n up. Install bluetooth gps on android. U will need a pda running win mo 5 or above with integrated gps chipset. I han an old eten g500+ i was not using. I will make as my bluetooth gps receiver for the folio. Gps redirect works only on some devices, check the tested n supported list!
Just need to find a working navigation app for the folio now. Got a car charger for the eten g500+, just need to solve the charging for folio n the navigation app n we r good to go.

ok. i got co-pilot live on the folio and it works nicely. runninf on full screen. the graphics are not astonishing since its extrapolated and not made for 1024x600 screens but it looks fine to me.
I havent gotten time to try it with the apps i mentioned and the eten g500+, but will do so as soon as possible. now just needs to figure out a way to charge the folio in the car
at the end, it just for the sake of doing this and seeing a nav app running properly on the folio, but practically it is useless. the screen is too big to be legally placed on the dashboard of the car or the windshield for that matter.
secondly due to the screen size and brightness, it is not advised to drive at night with that kind of brightness flashing in the eyes.

I think the best is Sygic GPS Navigation.
Very smooty and fast.
