The original navigation software for 770/N800 was done by Navicore (a Finnish company) that was bought by Wayfinder (a Swedish company) in July 2007.

Wayfinder was then bought by Vodafone in 2008.

And Vodafone discontinued the Wayfinder navigation service in April 2010:

I would not blame Nokia for the lack of updates/support for Wayfinder.

Of course Google and Nokia changed the game by offering their Maps & navigation software and services for free. Hard to compete with that.
