Ovi Maps 3.x exists on symbian, and has voice nav and other features. The Ovi Maps on maemo is version 1 and is pretty useless.

I travel all the time for work and need turn-by-turn directions. I have had it for three years with a Palm Treo 750 (WM 5.0) running TomTom Navigator 6, albeit with an external GPS receiver. Need a new phone (w/internal GPS receiver) that can do html e-mail AND turn-by-turn, and would like that phone to be the N900. Google has just announced turn-by-turn for Android 2.0:

Can this be ported to Maemo 5?

Wait, it was my understanding that OVI maps 1.x was temporary for the pre-release units. Is that the version that comes in the production device? If we don't get 3.0 that would REALLY suck. I would consider cancelling my pre-order.

Hopefully, Nokia will release "turn-by-turn" FREE on the n900 eventually. The DROID will have free turn-by-turn Google Maps (beta).

Get where you need to go with Google Maps Navigation (Beta): DROID is the first device with Google Maps Navigation, providing turn-by-turn voice guidance as a free feature of Google Maps. It’s powered by Google and connected to the Internet. Use voice shortcuts and simply say “Navigate to [your destination],” and you’ll be on your way. See live traffic, use Street View or satellite imagery to view your route, and get access to the most recent maps and business information from Google Maps without ever needing to update your device.

I would go with any options other than Nokia/Ovi map

I have been using symbian for long time and in any of my devices I have never taken Nokia/Ovi map seriously.


+1 for any alternative

The only real problem with this is, that in Europe the Roaming Data rates are so high that if you try to use it in any other country than your own, your gonna pay an arm and leg in data fee's

Humph. Unless I can figure some way of transferring wayfinder (perpetual license from the 770 days ), I can't retire my N810.

It seems like I have the same situation, except that I am still using Nokia 770 for navigation
