Please keep in mind that you just can't take the symbian version and install it to maemo. If I remember correctly there was no ovi maps for maemo 6 months ago.

And N95 had maps 1.x, N95 was released 2007...

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

See bugs.maemo.org (and feel welcome to search for existing tickets
first).

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