Basically, my expectation/hope for the N900 would be something like this:

Ideal N900 = updated N810 + updated Maemo + voice calls + 3g data + GPS & mapping equal to Verizon Droid
Unfortunately for me, I now understand that the GPS is worse than on the N810 (due partly to a bug).

Anyway, it is now clear that the N900 is probably not going to meet my expectations in regard to GPS/navigation.

Anyone have thoughts on what it is going to take to resolve this?

How do we (end users) get bugs like this resolved as quickly as possible?

Since Google's turn-by-turn navigation can be made accessible on the G1, what would it take to get that on the N900?
