Dear Robert, announcing of street names can be re-enabled easily in the javascript code /usr/share/nokia-maps/html/index.html. Look for the line with comment "speaking streets does not work except in english" and change the second argument to function ev.data.maneuver.getSound(navTrans, false) from false to true. It's hard to say ad hoc why your python server dies after ovi maps are closed - do you use my version, which ignores the "sthudown" command? You might check from the command line whether the python script remains running and try the telnet or wget accessing it, and further investigate what's happening. Best regards, Jiri
