IS the Ovi Maps App Open Source?

Because if it is I would like to work on a quick and dirty little add on to integrate in with Google Maps Street View API.

It could be as easy as posting the latitude and longitude into a web based app.

Ovi Maps is Nokia proprietary application.

Do you know of a way to launch the maps app from command line (xterm?) passing arguments to display a certain location or create a routing between two points?
I'd like to launch the maps app from another application.

I am new to maemo and Linux development in general but i am reading up on latitude and longitude on Maemo powered N900 devices here

I tried to look for Ovi Maps config files directly from X-Terminal and tried to pass arguments when starting Maps, but didn't find any help file.

If I remember right the command to start it through the command line is /usr/bin/nokia-maps

If you are interested the following command will search through directories and files for the pattern "*map*" and stops at each page using the command more. The symbol "|" (pipe) can be found on [Sym] key:

$ find / -name *map* -print 2> /dev/null | more
....
/usr/bin/nokia-maps
....
/usr/lib/nokiamaps-navigation-provider
....

If you would like to launch Ovi Maps do it as the normal user, not root, since the environment variables are not defined for root:

$ /usr/bin/nokia-maps
