Almost. It isn't final yet (sources).
I doubt it though. Wayfinder/Navicore is a dead end. Nokia Maps 2.0 or 3.0 is the future

Well that was Navicore which was bought by Wayfinder...
Probably similar to some internal HP memo called "Alpha, my problem child"

So what are the odds of a Maps port to maemo?
Wayfinder makes me feel violently ill.

I don't understand the negativity; is it just because it's not free? It works just fine with my N800 and external GPS. Far better satisfaction than several other maemo apps I've tried.

Now, I'd hate to purchase 3 years worth of service to have Wayfinder not supported on the next tablet and would also LOVE to see Nokia Maps ported to the next IT platform. Especially with the upcoming Maps on Ovi service that will allow you to sync online locations and routing to your mobile device.

I think the deal is different now, and I realize price is important for some people, so YMMV.

The key question in my mind now is whether it will continue to be supported on Maemo 5.
