Ovi Maps goes free for premium content (no N900 *yet*)
 
Just read that Nokia have made OVI maps content free for some devices.

I can only assume the N900 will follow

See

This is GOOD NEWS if they do, and frankly one of many things they've got to do to compete with Google and in particular Android.

Yes. Definitely this is a great news. Now there is one more reason for me not to go back to Android, iThink(g) :)

Although that announcement does not say N900. I cannot imagine now they wouldn't do it on N900 though. Maybe just need to port latest version -- surely they won't freeze maps dev on this device? Can't imagine it.

sounds too good to be true...
but it would make sense regarding google's navigation solution.

if they could not be bothered to have the latest version on n900 when they could have made money from it why would they bother now they will not. hope i am wrong

Let's hope that ovi maps 3.X are going to be available for the N900 then..

Why can't the latest version of ovi maps be ported to work on N900??
Think i heard something about it did not suport touch screen or something... But that does not make sence to me.. Why should the old version that folows the tablet be more touch screen friendly?
Anyways, it's great news that nokia are going to make turn by turn nav free. :)
