As an N9 user, I was very pleased to find Marble available from the Ovi store!

I didn't realise I should install Monav Routing Daemon as well, so after reading this thread, I found that out and I learnt quite a few other things.

I didn't have high hopes of finding good routing alternatives, since Ovi maps are updated and available life-long (is that the life of the device, which if its robustness is any kind of hint, is going to be very long, or the existence of Nokia as a smartphone manufacturer...).
However, my problems are the lack of routing for cyclists on Ovi maps/routes, plus the thing not being open - I did fix some minor things on Navtec, but then, I prefer to fix OSM.
On Android I use Navit and OSMAnd, which both have their pluses and negs, but at least both can use offline vector maps.



Anyway, my two cents:
yes, openbusmaps.org would be a great addition / optional feature
vector maps drawing is a must
even if a region/country is indicated to have car navigation, is it possible to navigate for pedestrians/cyclists?

I will have/take some more time tonight to see how things go...
