We have effectively acted as beta testers for maemo.

I know they have limited resources and symbian is the dominant platform. But is there any way they can enable the community to develop our own version ovi maps. If the product is now free does it matter who writes the software or even release the data files to the community?
Free != opensource.
AFAIK, noone has the source to ovi maps, similar to google maps. Its a closed product which is offered for free by the company that makes them.
