Its breaking news right now. Ovi Maps will provide free navigation. Its available for download on the N97 Mini right now. But it wont be working on the original N97 (as of now) since a minimum of 20mb is required in the C drive for the ovi maps installer to start working. Original N97’s support will be added in a weeks time. V2.1 firmware release also scheduled for next week ..
Update 1: N97 support from 28th Jan. Thanks @chansearrington
Update 2: You can install Ovi Maps on N97 right now. Not officially supported though.
Some of the features of the new Ovi Maps:
My Position: One click pinpoints your position on the maps. Now with network and A-GPS for precise navigation.
Find Places: Quickly find the places you need nearby, and cities, streets and addresses worldwide, with the new one-box search.
Drive: Free turn-by-turn navigation, with voice and visual guidance in over 70 countries. Includes real time traffic information, lane assistance, speed limit warnings, and automatic rerouting to help you arrive safely and on time.

Theres a new wikipedia widget for your N97 and mini. Its simple but really useful. The formatting is properly done, so you wont have to scroll both ways at the same time. Download link.

ThinkChange have another winner with them now. CompassPro. Its a super fun app and actually works to let you know which direction you are heading.
You can have a compass icon always showing on your phone screen, which means you dont need to be in the app to know the direction. The size and display area can be easily configured through settings.
You need to Calibrate the Sensor Compass first. Rotating your phone around all axes in a continuous movement. Just have a look at the screenshots and you will know what i am talking about.
Its a paid app and costs $9.95. You can download the trial which lets you use it 5 times. If you would like to buy it, please use our affiliate link. =)
Let us know what you think about this new app.
