Re: New N900 user - Few ideas...

lol, I understand that and know it's basically 1.0  (or 0.8 beta or something) for the maemo version.  I guess my point is I've come to rely upon it in my handheld and while I can take some instability, I need it to get me where I'm going most of the time.

I used the beta on Symbian and went through some growing pains, but it's working well now.  I hope the Ovi Maps team can get the Maemo version working well soon.  I love the location syncing and choosing different voices.

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,

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...
