Nokia did use the term 'free navigation' to refer to the turn by turn feature.

Would google claim 'free navigation forever' if their map app doesn't have any online services (turn by turn) component?
Would any app claim to provide their core (offline) functions 'free forever'?

Look at the picture above. What do you think?

Maps and voice navigation data – including regular updates – are free with Maps version 3.03 or above.

Which version do N900 have? Like version 1?

I thought this was going to be about the browser with flash support. :s

Maps on N900 is next to useless for most people because it can't search offline.

This was the big advantage of Ovi/Nokia maps of old and is the main reason why N900 Maps is so disappointing.

But let's get real here - are we really saying Nokia should've clearly warned potential N900 customers about it's limitations in this, or any other area?

I have whined on about this before as well, so the OP has my sympathy, but do what I should've done far earlier - go buy Sygic.

You'll soon forget about N900 Maps and realise the value of a smart investment.

That you people are crybabies, really. False advertising? Free navigation? Free: check, navigation capabilities: check, comes pre-installed and requires no steps to make functional: check.

Expecting more than what was ever promised is the issue here.

At worst it's a lie of omission.
At best it's just you being nitpicky.

yup, i remember when nokia first announced free turn-by-turn navigation for life, it was coined by them as "free navigation for life". and I remember seeing something about the n900 is going to receive free navigation, which it didnt, and im asuming is not going to...

still kinda lame...

So who here has ever successfully used Ovi maps?

I tried it once and ended up deleting it using Mappero instead after it couldn't find a single POI I needed.
