ovi maps turn by turn voice navigation license rquires DRM so unless nokia come up with new solution for handling licenses or until they add DRM capabilities to Maemo we wont get it.
They could of gave us a non DRM beta version for free though and made it clear its not free forever, then make it a pay for service once license handling is added

This would be a great idea! This way they could also receive valuable feedback for it.

Ok now some people have the prerelease ones, can anyone add any more info. Ive ordered my N900 anyway. The first Phone ive actually bought (been using a Axim for a while with TomTom),but my 2nd biggest use after ebooks is the sat nav capability.

So in real nosy about just what the capability is (ive not been abale to find much comment in any of the reviews)

are the maps the same ones that the N97 use,
does the functionality vary much.

is there definitly no voice nav, and nothing obviously pending

cheer
Craig

As far as I understand, it's basically same nav application as in other Nokia phones, but apparently not the newest version, at least currently.

And it doesn't have voice navigation yet. No one knows when it might be coming.

I really think Nokia are missing a trick here. Bundling navigation in as a freebie on their high-end device would make total sense.

It also makes sense to charge for it on other devices, as many Symbian devices are a LOT cheaper than the N900. When you consider how much open-source software the N900 is also using, it makes you wonder where the money was spent on the N900.

Open source software is free (of cost) only if your time is worth nothing. :-)

Seriously though, Nokia are packing together a very rich phone experience with the N900. True, an awful lot of it comes free from the open source world, but they've paid for a lot of Maemo polish, which has been given back to the community.
