First page on maemo webpage. I know that it just lists right those things that it can do from out of box, but it think that you are totally entitled to demand enchantments and better functionality from program that's included with phone. ITS NOT FREE.

Nothing is free. Remember that. Maybe you pay hard cash or by watching advertisements or giving information.

problem is the less you pay for extra software the less likely you are able to upgrade or get new features.

If you buy a laptop with win 7 do you expect that the win 8 is for free?
No i do not expect that. I expect programs that work as they were advertised and if i feel after using them they are not on level what they should be and I feel that i have paid too much and these functions are must have functionalities (Nothing is clear before purchase and some must have features might popup after using it for week) I return device otherwise i keep sending feedback as same time i use and enjoy other fetures of device/program.

Everything just cant be free, maps are very expensive to maintain..
I do care very little how much things actually pay for company. Its their mission to satisfy my need way or another. You paid for maps. Believe me. Everything is calculated to cost they are not stupid.

And i constantly here on these forums that andriod has free maps.. but that isnt the case, android is very expensive.. because you cant have offline maps..
I am going to travel to South Africa this year for 3 weeks.. and i am planning to use navigation there, if i would use android i would be bankrupt when i come home..
This is very true. But i would guess that main market RIGHT now is on areas where people have at least decent 3g/2g connection.

But i think that you have not lost your right to demand better quality for your money if they trick you to think that you got it for free.

And off course market stays open for those companys who sell their navigation system as completely different software.
