Worth merging this with the other related thread...?

AFAICT, I have turn by turn directions in Ovi Maps 1.0 for Maemo (which as has already been pointed out elsewhere is not related in number to Ovi Maps 3.0 for Symbian or whatever it is). Just tried it and it works for an upcoming trip from Ottawa to Orlando. And that's a long way...

I have Map loader, version 1.4.2 of multimedia transfer and it's working. And if I ask Maps 1.0 on my N900 to plan a route on my downloaded maps it does. Offline. I can live without some idiotic mumblings form the device telling me when to turn, I've managed fine with my N810 and the rather mewling flite speech stuff for years. ANd the functionality on the N900 is far beyond the N810s for navigation (which I used Maemo Mapper on).

Actually, deliriously happy with the navigation capabilities of my device. Free maps, free app, who gives a monkey's if it doesn't speak to me... I don't...
