This is the thread where the announcement was made that N900 probably won't get turn-by-turn navigation. I can understand the confusion by those thinking this is the place to protest that decision.

nicola.mfb: I was actually just saying the same thing about the N900 to my roommate tonight while we fiddled around with Ovi maps trying to get somewhere. I told him i was generally happy with the device but there were a few things like Ovi that needed work but could only be fixed by Nokia, and that Ovi was such a case because free and open map data just isn't up to the challenge yet. It's an interesting point you make about them making the data available so that a community map program can do what Ovi fails to do. I mean, we have the data already, don't we?
