I've used native Google Maps on many smartphones without built-in compass and seem to be far more intelligent. Even with one or two steps it seems to know the direction you're walking and never goes spinning.

Another thing is the search function. Why does it look around the world 4000 miles away if it doesn't locate your POI!! e.g. searching for Costco in the UK brings up addresses in the US. I'll just get on a plane…

I'm fairly happy with the update. At least OVI maps is now functional. They really should give us voice turn by turn navigation free for being N900B(eta testers) and to compete with Google before it's too late.
