No.

3.03 is for Symbian. Maemo has 1.01, which is rather a bad joke. Nokia seems not really commited to Maemo customers an only will provide something better for next generation (M6).

Currently Nokia seems to have stopped further support for M5.
Personally I believe they might even let drop Maemo completely.

Alternatives are free Navit (needs developers....) or, if you havent yet a Maemo device, you might think about Android Milestone, where there is google Maps + Navigation and a number of free OSM based off-line navigation apps.
