I agree, it would be nice, if Nokia would still support the N8x0 series. On the other hand the device is many years old now, so I did not expect that Nokia will provide software updates after so many years. I was hoping though that there is a community distro, but it seems that Nokia did not release (or even own) enough code to make this happen.

Can you define what turn by turn navigation means for you?

I think the biggest limitation for that average user is that he cannot edit the xml file. But for the advanced user having access to all these configuration options is very nice. Is there any other tool out there which give a similar configuraton power to the advanced user?
