I use a little FM transmitter plugged into the STANDARD mini phone plug
on the Nokia N800 to make it broadcast to my FM in the car. I can stream
internet radio and hear Navicore's driving instructions, simultaneously.
I wish it had the little FM transmitter in it instead of its internal FM
stereo receiver that's useless in America, these days.
