It's why any program using Google's map data (which is not their data) is disallowed turn-by-turn voice navigation capability: part of the contract to avoid competing with other products.

There's no reason a program based on Openstreetmaps can't give voice instructions, nor a program that is licensed for that purpose.

I'll quote from http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/:

Integrated A-GPS

Find your position quickly and accurately with the built-in Assisted-GPS receiver. The Nokia N900 works seamlessly with Ovi Maps to give you the quickest available route as you make your way from A to B.

* Assisted-GPS receiver
* Ovi Maps pre-installed

That borders on fraudulent false advertising if they don't actually provide the "Ovi Maps" program as described on the Ovi maps page. I don't think i'm being delusional here. This is extremely disappointing.
