@ HellFlyer:
Is that just a guess about OVI with voice nav or a real update that's coming in the future?

Its a guess but a good one in PR 1.2 maps will be updated with some minor tweaks and Ovi Suite 2.2 will be out with N900 support so its only a matter of time. Moreover since Maemo/MeeGo are very much similar even if we dont get Maemo 5 Ovi maps MeeGo should include one

Ovi Maps is free and includes the whole world not just Portland lol
Yes, yes I would. What good is voice nav if the 'nav' part of that sucks horribly? My point is that Ovi has a terrible routing engine.

I really hope that Ovi maps is ditched altogether and replaced with Google maps in Meego

I've been using Ovi on my N95 8gb with voice and turn by turn and I never had any problems. ( I'm not comparing because they are different software) .....However for that same reason do you have any inside knowledge about terrible routing engine. because as far as I know Ovi Maps for N900 was developed from scratch


Dont be ridiculous , Ovi wont be ditched for Google maps, if you want Google maps switch to Android or wait maybe one day Google will develop an Maps app for MeeGo

Thanks HellFlyer, nice guessing. I hope you are right and I hope that we finally get some nice apps (and games!).

are you talking about ovi maps for N900, ovi maps 3.x or every ovi maps version ever made?

Neither do I nor Sygic developers. Admit it: as far as the world is concerned, Indiana may not actually exist.
