Same thing -- maps is my main use case for these devices ; Compass is what sold me the N9 over the N900 despite the loss of keyboard. This time, I have to trade off both keyboard and compass for double the RAM which I don't really require to begin with (even when using the Gentoo chroot...).
I'm really tired of this. I don't necessarily want high-end devices, but why do I have to think of trade-offs at this level of cheapness?

So Navigation is not possible at all with Jolla C?
Is that the reason, why sailfish-maps package is not preinstalled ?

Navigation is GPS, not compass. Compass provides orientation even without physical displacement or GPS fix.
It means no Pokemon Go nor any kind of geographical AR, though.
