	One of the main additions to Ovi Maps has been voice navigation and later on spoken street names. This was first done using a python server which would listen for requests from the Maps application and then play the corresponding sound. One drawback from this was the javascript inside the maps application had to convert turns and other route information into file names. This causes a slight problem when changing languages as not all languages contain the same file names for commands and turns. The most current version is omVoiceServer which parses the information from the maps application and looks up the sound files. This allows the maps application to only send the turn information, and the server to do the rest of the work. It also contains a GUI for changing of various options and settings, allowing languages to be changed during routeing and turning on and off spoken street names using eSpeak.

With PR1.2, manuevour support was added so that when selecting a junction, its appropriate icon will be displayed. This functionality has been extended to allow all maneuvour icons to be displayed through a simple button, hence allowing the user to know what turns are approaching.  The button is only displayed while traveling to a destination (needs a valid route to display manevours for), and hence will only be visible at times of routing. This button requires a new icon which can be added manually or automatically through the latest version of omVoiceServer.

=== Voice Navigation and Espeak - OmVoiceServer ===

One of the main additions to Ovi Maps has been voice navigation and later on spoken street names. This was first done using a python server which would listen for requests from the Maps application and then play the corresponding sound. One drawback from this was the javascript inside the maps application had to convert turns and other route information into file names. This causes a slight problem when changing languages as not all languages contain the same file names for commands and turns. The most current version is omVoiceServer which parses the information from the maps application and looks up the sound files. This allows the maps application to only send the turn information, and the server to do the rest of the work. It also contains a GUI for changing of various options and settings, allowing languages to be changed during routeing and turning on and off spoken street names using eSpeak.

As the server has been changed to get the voice files itself, the code for maps application has also been changed, hence omVoiceServer requires a new index.html page to function. These can be found [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66985 here]. 

=== Saved POI results - OmVoiceServer ===

The latest version of omVoiceServer also allows for semi-offline routing to common destinations. When connected to the internet, a search may be made and the contents of the result can be saved for later use when there is no internet (or when you wish to save on data downloads). To enable POI offline searching you will need to add an empty ad-hoc network (as ovi maps still requires network connection to search, however due to a bug in maemo, you can connect to non-existant ad-hoc connections and trick ovi maps into thinking your connected).

To setup a no internet network, simply go to 

{Settings} > {Internet Connections} > {Connections} > {New} > {Next} > Type a connection name, ie "no internet" > {Next} > Select {No} when asked to search for WLAN Networks > Enter anything in the network name ie "no internet" > untick {Network is hidden} > Change Network Mode from infrastructure to {Ad hoc} > {Next} > {Finish}.

Then:
# With omvoiceserver running, and open the maps application and search for something. For example search for your home address (this step needs internet access).
# press Ctrl + backspace to get to the taskmanager and open omvoicesever. In the last tab under "Last Search" it'll have the details of your last search (in this example, your home address).
# Press the "Save this search" button and save the file under your cities folder in a new folder called "poi" (ie /home/user/MyDocs/cities/poi). Save it with the filename "poi-home" (or any other name but make sure it begins with "poi-".
# omvoiceserver will save the file there as an xml file (see it through the file manager)
# Connect to your ad-hoc network
# In maps (ctrl+backspace to shift screens) do a search for "poi-home"
# Watch as your result comes up even though theres no internet

WORK IN PROGRESS



== What is Ovi Maps Extra Features ==



Ovi Maps Extra Features is a project that's been worked on to bring enhancements and extra features to Ovi Maps on the N900. It began as adding simple functionality, but has progressed to adding voice commands and spoken street names.



Currently the features present in the latest release include:



* Addition of two extra buttons when routing

** First button is to show all maneouvers in the current route and allows them to be turned on and off.

** Second button shows Points of interest on the map, again allowing them to be turned on and off. Further customizations of Points of Interest is discussed below.

* Brought back 3D view of maps which was removed through an update

* Added extra menu to customize POIs

* Added voice capability with spoken languages (requires server, details below)

* Voice capability also allows for spoken street names through espeak

* Added feature to allow saved results to be displayed offline (still experiemental)





== Features explained ==



=== Manuevours ===



With PR1.2, manuevour support was added so that when selecting a junction, its appropriate icon will be displayed. This functionality has been extended to allow all maneuvour icons to be displayed through a simple button, hence allowing the user to know what turns are approaching.  The button is only displayed while traveling to a destination (needs a valid route to display manevours for), and hence will only be visible at times of routing. This button requires a new icon which can be added manually or automatically through the latest version of omVoiceServer.



{information on how to edit manuevour button can be added here}



=== Points Of Interest While Driving ===



Ovi Maps supports points of interest display on the map however the default is only transport icons, hence an extra button was added to enable POIs to be displayed and removed, as well as a new menu which allows for customizations of catagories. These catagories can be modified further if the user requires catagories other than the default ones. Similarly to the Manevours button, the button for POI is only availble while routeing. A new icon is again available.
