Yep! I got a Droid today from Best Buy to compare Tmo signal with Verizon for a few weeks. Navigation and Maps works very well and way better than the version on my G1.

Verizon 3G is SO much better than my weak ***** Tmo GSM signal. I wish the n900 was a Verizon product :(

I appreciate that the browser will be good enough to display google maps, but this is not location aware and won't show me where I am with a little dot on the map. I've found myself with this feature so many times with ifone, and the thought of giving it up is quite scarey.

Please please google, do your thang with maemo
You can try maeMaps, my Google Maps UI for the N900. It is location aware.

I really hope to see Google Maps on Maemo. Its such a great application, not just due to the the fact that it has good maps, etc, but it also have a lot of unique features now that I dont see Nokia competing with. This includes StreetView, Latitude and the navigation that also uses StreetView, which is really awesome! :D

They need to update the maemaps...it seems pretty ancient.

Welcome to the ex-IT owners fold. We've been waiting for you, Rushmore. :) And I agree.. so far, I'm not regretting anything about the Android except that I DO wish it was more Debian-like.. but still, it's my phone.. not my tablet. Although, I have to admit that I'm happy as a pig in poke over available ACCESSORIES (real ones, not just third party generic skins, holders, car mounts,etc. I also mean that I can WALK INTO A STORE to get help or to get it fixed. Good God! The value of THAT cannot be overstated.

hi i have seen the google maps App at the new nexus one Handy from Google especially the Street view looks amazing. I guess this view is the future for other navi programms too so i would like to see it on the n900 voted +1

Mh I have to say I would rather see Ovi Maps updated to a stage where it's actually usable! I think it holds great potential!

i dont care how they do it(update ovi/get another software)- just sort it out- let the hardware do its job. this is not hard- it is done on other phones.

really for me- as it holds my signal and tracks fine(assited), all it is is presentation and keeping your track central.

q

does google on nexus need the compass?

Re: Vote for Google Maps on Maemo/N900
 
I'm just trying to bump this thread to see if there is more than just interest in a google maps version/port to the N900. I would seriously be willing to pay for an iPhone style maps app.

Any takers?

Also, a question: what would it take to make this happen? I mean technically - is it a time consumkng affair, or is it that only googla can make such an app, etc.?
