Hi,

I am trying to find out whether it's possible to develop N900 apps that use Ovi Maps.

I assume it's theoretically possible to create a Qt app in Qt4.6 that uses QtWebKit to drive the Ovi Maps API, but currently the OVI maps player doesn't support Linux so it won't run on Maemo. Also, when I go to OVI maps website on the N900, it tells me that Maemo is not supported and I should use the native N900 app.

Does that mean it is not possible to develop Ovi map apps for the N900 as things stand? If this is the case, then I guess we just have to wait for the Ovi Maps plugin to support Linux which surely must be a priority for Nokia, right?

Or maybe Nokia are planning to open up the native Maemo Ovi maps player so it can be used in other apps?

Can anyone provide some info on this please?

Paul Drummond
