The baselines of maps & navigation freedom and commoditization are probably defined around the projects listed at

No intersection with Maemo as for today?

A Maemo developer got lost and posted his negative experience with the N900's Ovi Maps on his blog It isn't pretty
If a customer still uses it, he shouldn't complain. He has been warned.

For the rest of you people, "ovi" means "door" in english, and I suppose someone @ nokia thought it would be a nice name for a services portal.

Navit seems to be an interesting project. The last OS2008 update was in February and there is nothing yet in Fremantle extras-devel. Just curious, does anybody know whether the upstream project has any interest nowadays in Maemo / N900?

There's an interesting interview about Ovi Maps here (via allaboutsymbian.com) - it also mentions n900 just to say that the app isn't ready yet (and we knew it), and concentrates on 'good things' TM - a way to share social places bookmarks it seems.
