iJanne, what is Maemo Direct? Link? Can't find it on Google, Maemo.org, or anywhere else...

Thanks, noob views are highly valuedThou I think absolute n00b is a bit exaggaration - absolute n00b would be coming from Nokia 3310 or Motorola razr rather from an android device
Did you enable the extras repository? It is included in application manager, but disabled by default:
* Go into the Application manager.
* Tap the menu -> Tools -> Application catalog...
* Double-tap maemo Extras.
* Uncheck Disabled.
The app name is fmradio, I believe.
"Extras" is the noob-safe repository,
"Extras-testing" is for the community people who want to test new apps, and
"Extras-devel" is only for truly adventurous experts
Note that the "ovi maps" versions between maemo and symbian don't correlate - they are completle different products at the moment. Future firmwares should make the maps experience less frustrating. but, I 'm afraid for a truly great map application the best bet would be a separate 3rd party app or a community application being ported.
This is upto google to create, since I believe google voice api is not open for developers.

you wrote "but as soon as you install maps, it eats up almost 2gb"
please explain! i thougth ovi maps is a online-program like google maps that works without local map-files.
or did you use another routing-software?

I believe Ovi can download maps to the device too since Nokia offers them online to be downloaded.

It is available from Maemo Select at maemo.nokia.com at least. Just click the link there and install.
I did. Works great.
