Indications with maps.

2010-02-19 Thread Xabier Rodriguez Calvar
Now that Nokia announced that navigation with indications will be free
forever, I'd like to know if we'll be able to do that with the N900.
Maybe I missed the info somewhere else, but if somebody can tell me
something or point me to the info, I'd be pleased.

Thanks!

Hola Xavi,

As I understand it, the current version of Ovi Maps for Maemo (1.0) is not at 
the same release level (featurewise) as Ovi Maps for Symbian (Maps v 3.0).

We'll have to wait to see if the release Maps for Maemo with the same basic, 
required features as Maps for Symbian has.

Un saludo,
Bernard

Not that I know of. We can wait and hope but I don't think anything
has been promised with regard to N900.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that at some point in the near future,
the Ovi Maps for Maemo will be free.  I suspect the Maps team is very busy
updating all the Symbian clients and ironing out the bugs in the recent
releases.

I was hoping for some Maemo-related announcement during MWC, but so far,
nothing...

It's always been free as far as I can tell (it never asked me for
payment), but it just doesn't do the things the Symbian version does.
That's the whole problem since the beginning.

That's why I'm hoping for an update to the app in general.  It's the main
blocking factor for me using an N900.  The Symbian version was always free,
but the voice navigation was subscription-based.  That became free about a
month ago.

Hi,

2010/2/19 Xabier Rodriguez Calvar xrcal...@igalia.com:
 Now that Nokia announced that navigation with indications will be free
 forever, I'd like to know if we'll be able to do that with the N900.

 something or point me to the info, I'd be pleased.

Nokia is moving all is applications, OS ecc... to be Qt based, so I
really expect a Qt based Ovi Maps application someday.
Even if Harmattan won't be ported to N900, it's users will be able to
use Harmattan applications anyway thanks to official Qt support for
N900 too.

Until now Maemo was only an experimental OS, but I think that the
fusion with Moblin that made MeeGo and in particular the fact that
we're all expecting the final step from them, all these things will
bring more and more applications to N900 and future N, so I really
think that we'll have this feature too.

n.b: this is just my personal hopinion and it would be nice to have
some confirmation, but I think we'll have to wait some months to
know...
