They have, but I haven't used navigation really much to say if they really work well. Both do have turn by turn navigation with voice. You'd better just try them. A good thing about Mappero and modRana is, they use same directory and files as a offline storage for maps, so when you download with one application the maps you need, you can use the maps with both apps.

The problem with both are that they currently need network connection to find a route from place A to B. But both are still developed and maybe get that feature too, offline routing. However you can find routes online beforehand, and save them to later use in offline mode.

The biggest problem using N900 offline for location is the need of A-GPS. GPS without A-GPS is disgusting slow.

I need MS Windows for OVI Suite, or have you managed to run it under Wine?

No, I use windows...

sygic10 is awesome, i use it everyday to find customers homes, its never failed me once

http://www.hpsblog.com/2009/07/direc...0-without.html is dead, use this one instead: http://nokiamaps.site666.info

(Use the older maps for 3.0 that the site says work with 3.04 - it is the smaller link, so read the page carefully.)

The links to the maps seem dead. Nokia Suite is endlessly waiting for connecting to maps server (syncing contacts or checking for updates throw errors too). And even though my MyDocs/cities folder got >300MB OviMaps won't display anything (without downloading at least which on roaming...)

Bump.. all the links are dead this is the closest thing I have found after the infamous map loader... which does not seems to be supported by nokia. all links lead me to ovi suite
