I am VERY unimpressed by these news and since I am still in my initial 14 day trial, I think this is going back to base to be replaced with another option from the competition.
First take a look at http://wiki.maemo.org/Navigation_Tools. You'll find some of the tools support the route generation that I suspect you're wanting.
Also try out Maep, a nice port of a Google maps viewer with very fast startup. I think it's only in Extras-testing, so you'll need to enable that repository (http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras).

Seriously guys.
Did you guys ever on ANY phone get a free next version of a preinstalled payware unless it was preannounced before you bought it?
I don't think it's that common. Ovi Maps is just now turning free, Nokia will use it to improve future sales.
Besides which - everybody else is getting is really the point. Phones much longer in the tooth than the N900 are getting it. I don't think it's an unreasonable to fell let down if all other current phones are getting it but we don't.
It's not like nokia haven't use navigation as a selling point. I'm not sure I'd have bought an N900 if it didn't have GPS - it's not therefore unreasonable to expect that functionality to be properly supported.

if the n900 doesnt get the ovi map, then nokia has really drop the ball on their own toe. not only will this be my last nokia, but will also be the last nokia i recommend. so far nokia hasnt shown much support for the phone, the maemo community (this forum) is the only reason why i like this phone.

That's ridiculous. He said "all GPS enabled nokia smartphones". So, the N900 is no smartphone, but an Internet tablet, or how do they explain this?

The reason this isn't on the N900 is that Nokia don't want to put any more dev time into the device beyond bug fixing, and they're putting everything into Maemo 6 which will be their standard platform for all their phones circa 12-18 months.
