The Ovi Map on N900 does not have turn-by-turn navigation like a dedicated satnav. You can only use it to show you the route from point A to point B (which you can define) and plot it on a map. You can use it to follow that route and the red dot will show where you are at any given moment. But the N900 is not yet a replacement for a TomTom.

There is a video somewhere with someone from Nokia talking about moving development to QT. If maps is built in QT then I guess it could be made available for the N900

I totally think so too. Also should be much faster than the current OVI map.

turn by turn ??? ovi maps doenst have Bulgaria map at all !!! jokes ... i am really disapp
I can get the map up enter my destination and thats as far as i GO...I can even get a red dot moving along the road I am travelling.
However, forgive me for being a noob...it doesnt direct me to my destination.It just shows me where I am.
Perhaps I am expecting too much. Perhaps Iam expecting it to take over my tomtom.......It could be that I haven't a clue on how to use ovi maps.
So what I am asking is...can ovi maps be used like a tomtom and if so how do I use it .
Many thanks
