Re: New N900 user - Few ideas...

["Kevin T. Neely" <ktneely@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sad Ovi maps is so lacking on the N900 because it works great on Symbian.  That's kind of a dealbreaker for me as far as the N900 being a usable, main device.  hopefully they're working on it heavily, or hopefully we'll see a google maps client soon.

actually, how well does Google maps work on the browser?  does it know location?

thanks,
K

It's actually "Ovi Maps". "Ovi" has several meanings in the Nokia
world...
