I would happily subscribe to Ovi's service (and watch Nokia earn $) if they come up with better support for the N900! |

Also, someone mentioned that S60 Google Maps was a Java App, it's a very well featured Symbian App, that does routing (but no Turn-ByTurn navigation). Also, using Google Maps in the browser isn't as good, surely the browser version isn't location aware? Correct me if I'm wrong. |

I dont know how to do that allnameswereout, I just have the deb and know how to hack that version to get unlimited free trials.

Re: N900 free ovi navigation?
I have to echo the disappointed sentiments of so many. Almost everything about the N900 looks really great to me, but I also need a great fully featured and functional GPS and routing application that is on par with Ovi Maps 3.0 on Symbian devices (minus voice navigation). Without that I can't buy the N900 and will have to watch the competition for more complete offerings.
On top of the software let down, it seems that the GPS hardware on the N900 is also problematic as users are reporting[1] that it's almost impossible to get a satellite lock and a data connection for A-GPS network positioning is needed just to get your location on the map. This is also a deal breaker for me because I need to go out in the middle of nowhere where there is no data connection available, besides not wanting to use a data connection in the first place. 1. https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5337 |

I've posted a suggestion for Google Maps App to be ported to Maemo 5 here, please post there too to express your interest. Not too sure that's the best place for it, but it's for Google Maps Suggestions and Feedback. So hopefully it'll get some attention. |
Re: N900 free ovi navigation?
We will never see a free version of Ovi maps with turn by turn navigation for the N900. If you want this then it will be a paid (and expensive) application. If you want free then change phones. Nokia and Maemo will not produce any more firmware updates for the N900 despite their promise. Why would they dedicate resources to owners of just one phone?
