I've been quite for a while (mainly cause I got myself Assassin's Creed 2 and wasted all my free time on it 
), but I have another addition connected to my last update. I felt that showing all points of interest was way too slow and not very useful if you want a particular POI. So I wanted to add some customizable settings with maybe the most common POIs. Hence this update 
This is still very buggy! and i hope to fix it up more in the future. It includes a few preset options: Transport, Shops, Education, Parking, activities and all (all option will show all POI and will be very slow). All options are available with the rest of the options in the menu bar (about button has been relocated and my own POI settings button added - see image).
To customize it further you will need to change the regular expressions used to search the POI categories and the button text. The regular expressions are found if you search for "//HERE HERE!" and look like this:
The full categories list (from my computer, so I hope they are similar on the N900 since its a plugin thing) is
So simply change the regular expression to include part of the categories eg poiRegExp[3] = /PARKING/; becomes poiRegExp[3] = /PARKING|THEATRE/; if i want to search for parking and theatres.
the button text is found if you search for "_createPoiScreen: function (aEvent) {//HERE HERE" and looks like
Feedback welcome

I'm trying to put together some code to enable GuidanceMockUp to provide route simulation. In the code we have two simulators, S60SimulatorPositionProvide and FfSimulatorPositionProvider. It checks for browser.S60 and creates as necessary. I was thinking along the lines of adding a button that appears after a route has been calculated that allows a simulation of the route to be played. I thought this may be beneficial for testing when attempting to add voice navigation. As of yet I've not coded anything other than remove the statement which checks to see if GuidanceMockup can provide guidance.
Code:
this.guidance = new nokia.maps.pfw.GuidanceModel(this._pluginControl, this.routing, this.position, this.map); VoiceGuidance = this.guidance;
VoiceGuidance.getNextManeuver() and see if it works (which will require something to show the result on the N900).
But good luck trying to get it to work
I'd like to even be able to see just text on the screen with directions one day

I just wanted to say this is one of the best threads / things I have seen on this forum. Not only has Ovi maps been the biggest disappointment on the N900 considering it is supported on EVERY OTHER Nokia phone, but for me it won't even work.
I have seen screen shots of colour. (Yes Ovi maps for me is that bad, I have beige and nothing.)
I have seen screen shots of streets. (Yes my ovi maps can't find anything while standing in a city, it reports that I am stood in a field of nothing.)
And I have seen buildings (see note above)
Congrats to OP. I am off to see if I can get half of this to work.
Although I am shocked to hear Nokia does the map lookups on their servers, no wonder when I last used OVI maps it drank half my battery in less than twenty minutes. For those on limited data plans I pity you.

I was just having a poke around inside the code to see what I could see. This is some seriously horrible code: stupidly overengineered, ignorant of JS best practices, and with lots of repetitive code.
It seems like there are multiple routing and guidance models floating around. I can't seem to get a listener on the route done event to call startNavigation.
Edit: Ignore all that. It is hard to debug javascript without even an error log.

Well I got something to do something
The GuidanceModel at http://pastebin.com/B3HSsawg will show the icon for the next maneuver and advance the next maneuver when we get close enough to it.

However about your Maps, it sounds like you might have a corrupt installation or something. Have you tried doing a reflash`? A lot of components were updated (or changed) in PR1.3., so maybe something went wrong in the process.

Just suggesting: maybe a little web server (python?) in the background that could be called like "http://localhost:9999/talk/turn_right". The server would then either use espeak or prerecorded files. I might give it a go, but rather stretched on time today...
Thanks again for all your work!
Joerg
UPDATE: ok, I stole some time away, and quick-hacked a little python talk server.
- install espeak
- call 'python speak.py' in the terminal. Or 'python speak.py german' for a german talking server
- the server could then be called on http://localhost:9999/turn_right. The call returns immediately (either with the command spoken, or with 'error'), and the talk can be interrupted with a new request. Only knows turn_right and turn_left, but maybe enough for testing?

Just wondering though how do you call it from javascript? Since I've never played with servers or have much we experience at all (i've just been a bit lucky so far with this 
)I've actually implemented the flash idea I said before but your idea is heaps better, especially since the maneuvers also contain data such as street names, hence we can eventually get spoken streets and directions
for people interested, this is what is possible
and soon to be much better once the server is set up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC5vSv1dppc
(sorry for the quality, I recorded it with my dad's phone while both phones sat in the cup holders
)sound files were made from this site: http://vozme.com/index.php?lang=en
Edit: Just tried the python server, it works amazingly!!! Awesome work! I might try implement a small test in the maps application and make another quick video. But I again thanks, this is exactly what we needed

haven't finished sorting pc since reformat yet. i need to create a small floating textbox, blaizzens writemessage is good for now but it seems to upset the layout rendering. either that or log info to a file.
i did notice theres an icon/button for traffic stowed away in one of the folders. could perhaps use it to toggle an overlay or something.
