What the heck? There are at least 2 Domino's Pizza locations here locally so this was inexcusable. Of course I whipped out my N95 and used Google Maps and within a few seconds (Ovi Maps took me a few minutes with its sluggish loading, clunky interface and slow search results) I found several local Pizza joints including Domino's and all was well, no thanks to Ovi Maps on the N900.

Another thing is that if you just try to use Search to find an address, for some reason Ovi Maps does NOT find anything and does not like it. You have to go to Route then Add Route, THEN it will find whatever forsaken address you want. Pretty unintuitive if you ask me.

Of course the N900's GPS can be useful but due to the crappy GPS software it has available it is completely rubbish.
