I'm not sure if this is true but i have tried to update with ovisuite to which it allows me to update the map but says it doesnt support voice directions, is this true?

Is there better software out there you lot could recommend?

Thanks v much.

The community has stepped in and added voice support to Ovi Maps for Maemo. Search this forum to find the thread/link.

Regarding 'best' software, personally I like Sygic the best even though it is a commercial product (and I am not even sure if you can still purchase it). There are some limitations with the product as well (i.e. memory leaks, etc...) that make it less reliable on long trips.

One thing you will find is that there is no shortage of mapping software on the N900. Try them all and see which one you like the best.
