Ovi Maps navigation coming in the next firmware: Possible
 
1 Attachment(s)
I stumbled across this on my N82. Is it referring to Ovi Maps Navigation or a new user menu navigation? I think the app part is talking about those 3D games from a few weeks ago and new paid content. This cant be the recent PR 1.1 update because we didnt get new navigation or new apps. What do you all think?

I don't think that is PR1.1. There was nothing new except regional country added. The latest firmware map took so long to lock the satellites. Longer than the previous version firmware with connection.

We got all this in the January 1.1 update.

The Interface was redesigned with additional features and it is much faster.

That being said, it still Blows Chunks!

Interesting. I would like to see what the old interface looked like. All the videos that I have seen from as far back as October appear to have the same UI. What is different? I updated my N900s to PR 1.1 as soon as I got them so I never used the older firmwares.

There are subtle changes and some new features. Tracking is much easier. You had to start a route before to do tracking.

I didn't make a log of the changes, but it went from totally unusable to merely being a POS that will do in an emergency.

I'm sure there are a list of changes somewhere. I was happy they made it at least usable.

I'm running 10.2010.07-8 and the Ovi maps app is redesigned, however it is still rather bleh.

Fake firmware version, just saying if someone didn't know.

It's fake, the next firmware version won't jump from 3.year.week-version to 10.year.week-version. Simply as that.

Why? It's only development build, not real version :) Development snapshot :)

Well it's an internal build, leave it at that.

It's gotta be less Blah than it is now though. You can't go much backwards on it!

Well it is better but it's not an astronomical leap that some people seem to be expecting. Still has problem with text input vanishing when trying to navigate somewhere, not that great really.

Just tell us if at LEAST it supports offline search

the GPS and map is useless if you can't do a quick offline search for destination and turn by turn. So it a must have for GPS
