After reading this thread I started some time ago, I feel that the conversation is going slightly on the wrong direction. This is Brainstorm, not Complaints. Whatever the marking department may or may not have said, has nothing to do with this thread. I personally feel talk.maemo.org is not the best place to address this kind of complaints, certainly not the Brainstorm section. If you prefer to use this forum anyway for this purpose, please use General, N900 or Maemo 5 section, but not Brainstorm nor this thread. Thank you for understanding.

Now, as for the real subject. I'm happy that Maemo will get (eventually ) free Voice Guided Turn by Turn Navigation. As some of you have already pointed out, it will be most probably based on Qt. This very reasonable, since not only is Maemo 6 based on it, but also the future Symbian versions. However, I'm not so sure that it's necessarily based on Qt 4.6. I, at least, have not seen any info about it. It could be based on some future Qt version.

Therefore, I would like to receive answers to the following questions about Ovi Maps for Maemo:
  1. If it is based on Qt, what version?
  2. Will it be a separate installable app?
  3. Will it be compatible with N900?
  4. Can the community do something to make it work with the N900?
  5. Is there a beta testing and how can one paticipate?
  6. Oh, and the most important: when is it planned to be realised?

I would appreciate if qgil or someone else from Nokia, could give some answers. Although I do strongly doubt all the questions will be answers any time soon, especially the last one.
