I just installed/updated to Nokia Maps 2.0 on E90 and discovered, that maps for Bulgaria are no longer available in detail. The current maps comes from Navteq, the old came from TeleAtlas - this makes the difference. Even maps 2.0 is a bit better, I have no other choice than to reinstall maps 1.x i.e. restore a back up.

Do anybody have any idea why these maps were elliminated, even a navigation license can be purchased?

Thanks in advance for any advise!

My issue is similar, only the main streets of the city are mapped, however if you browse th blank area, street names appear out of nowhere...

So naturally being in the same situation I tried, as described the 1.2 maps that had more detail for central/eastern Europe - don't bother, naturally it doesn't work.

So why am I worried just now? Garmin used to provide the best coverage for these regions as they had contracts with local companies... Now, that nokia maps is free, I'm afraid Garmin and maybe even Sygic (who knows? - they didn't provide decent maps for the discussed regions anyway) are out of the question.

I hope this thread, that should probably be on the Nokia forums too as we Maemo users are a minority compared to the Symbian one, is read by someone closer to nokia and that maybe he or she might send a P.M. or make a post to inform us on the matter.

Regards,
Bec
