If I want to develop an app that integrates with a map plugin, then obviously I want to use Ovi maps but the Ovi Maps SDK doesn't support Maemo and as far as I know the Ovi Maps app for Maemo can't be used as a plugin.
There must be work going on behind the scenes to resolve this situation - in the mean time I would be greatly appreciated if someone from Nokia could provide some direction so developer like myself avoid wasting time on solutions that might be dead-ends when the real solution is eventually announced. The way I see it there are several potential solutions: 1) I could write a Qt App that embeds Ovi Maps into a QtWebKit widget. I don't think this is currently possible due to it's lack of support for Maemo/Linux but I will do some prototyping here any way and see how far I get. 2) Write a Qt app that embeds Google Maps into a QtWebKit widget. 3) Wait for a dedicated Ovi Maps plugin for Maemo to be developed. Will there ever be such a plugin? Can someone from Nokia comment on this please? Thank you, Paul Drummond
