While at Nokia World 2010 I had a little talk with the OVI product manager. One of the burning questions was whether OVI Maps with voice-guided navigation was coming to the N900. The answer was simple: they are currently focused on bringing this feature for the MeeGo platform and if the code is easily transferable/compatible with the N900, they will make the update available to the N900. If it’s something that takes huge amounts of effort to “convert” to get it working on the N900, they simply won’t do it. In short, it all depends on the compatibility and the amount of time required to transfer this to the N900.
