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.
