I'll just use Ovi. It's good enough for my needs.

Nope, at least in Italy. Google's coverage is way better.

Good shout Dexter, have been trying to find out about this myself for a little while too.
There's also this thread in a diffferent part of the google mobile forum that someone put up:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/...5398e001&hl=en
It's asking pretty much the same thing but the more noise made the more likely it is that something to get done so can't hurt for people interested to post in both.

I didn't realise that Android was Linux based and had Google Maps already, so hopefully it should be easy to get it ported.

Google Maps on Maemo would be one of the best apps to have for an always connected device like the N900.
I also have to switch to my N95 with Google maps and Latitude when meeting up with friends in the city (where I am lost always).
Edit : Google Traffic updates on the maps itself has often saved me a lot of hassle when on the road too.

Because I love using the Google Maps App on my N95, and will miss it on my N900 (the web browser version will not do - it would be awkward t ouse and isn't location aware).
I'd love for the big G to port the mobile app to the N900/Maemo5. So I created the following post, under the Maps, Feature Requests / Suggestions section. Hopefully if enough people post there to express their interest hopefully it'll get noticed, and something might happen.
So feel free to post here:
