Btw, do you know if Ovi Maps has 3d buildings in N900? If so, could you provide a screenshot?

The N900's GPS chip is the TI Navilink 6.0 (the same as Omnia HD), which provides Bluetooth, FM receiver/transceiver, A-GPS and supports 802.11 b/g/n.

3D view, toggled via the on-screen compass:
Thanks. But that seems to be an angled map, and not a first person perspective like on a TomTom:

Interesting, but up so far I've not seen any report from any device holder.

There's toggle On/Off button with an icon of a building on it, but it does not make little 3D buildings appear on the map though, no.

The closest alternative appears to be satellite view:

I'm not arguing Ovi Maps has features equal to TomTom or any other competitor. I'm just trying to answer questions.

I would imagine it would work like in Ovi Maps on S60, i.e., only selected well-known buildings/landmarks are shown in 3D. What if you try the city center of some major city like Barcelona or London?

Ah, I see, though I don't see the utility. Anyway, I tried two of the preloaded searches: the Empire State Building and Oxford Street, London. No little buildings. Perhaps they'll be coming later in an update.

That's just an angled map too, isn't it?

Although the performance of the GPS on the N900 has been sublime when an internet connection is available, it has been terrible without one. I have taken my N900 on a three day trip abroad and have not been able to get a fix once. Can others confirm this?

As for the 3D buildings, they are there on my device. The attached screenshot is shows the city hall and stock exchange of Brussels.
