Btw, do you know if Ovi Maps has 3d buildings in N900? If so, could you provide a screenshot?

The N900's GPS chip is the TI Navilink 6.0 (the same as Omnia HD), which provides Bluetooth, FM receiver/transceiver, A-GPS and supports 802.11 b/g/n.

The closest alternative appears to be satellite view:

I would imagine it would work like in Ovi Maps on S60, i.e., only selected well-known buildings/landmarks are shown in 3D. What if you try the city center of some major city like Barcelona or London?

Although the performance of the GPS on the N900 has been sublime when an internet connection is available, it has been terrible without one. I have taken my N900 on a three day trip abroad and have not been able to get a fix once. Can others confirm this?
As for the 3D buildings, they are there on my device. The attached screenshot is shows the city hall and stock exchange of Brussels.
