Good God, the Map app is cr@p! I played with it yesterday on a N800 and not only did it crash several times for no apparent reason, it's horribly slow in 2D mode and even worse in 3D (unusable in fact). It randomly hangs for several seconds when asked to perform simple tasks and is quite honestly a horrible application - Nokia won't be getting any money from me to activate the disabled features (I will be getting a N810, and I won't bother with this built-in app).

OK, it's a beta you cry - well yes, the OS is a beta but unfortunately it appears the Map application has been developed by an outside contractor and it's not going to get any further attention at this point in time so it's the real deal. And Map bugs won't be accepted in Bugzilla either. It's Opera all over again folks but a hundred times worse - at least Opera was reasonably good quality closed source software, this Map app just sucks big time and Nokia once again don't have the ability to fix any of the bugs.

Nokia just paid $8bn for Navteq and if this is the best they can do they've just wasted $8bn, I'd rather buy a TomTom and have simple to use, reliable and very usable mapping functionality.

Maemo Mapper looks a far more interesting product to me now - I'd have paid for the additional features in the official Nokia app but the quality simply isn't there in the free features so I'd be a fool to pay for more of the same. Judging by what I've heard about it's development there will be no fixes or improvements any time soon.

If you have a problem with the Map application, your best bet is to file a complaint with Nokia Care as Bugzilla is closed for this application - I'll be filing several comlpaints about the Map application to http://www.nokia.co.uk/email as apparently complaints received via Nokia Care are the only way that Nokia management will take any notice of the dross they are now shipping.

Ari Jaaksi spoke about quality being a key focus for future development - I guess someone forgot to tell the contractor who developed this mapping shite.
