quite simply they refered to an extant/existing product in the marketing of a new product that being OVI MAPS. We all took that to mean the . . . the ovi maps we have come to love, they should correctly alluded to a new prodct such as ovi maps light edition or something like that.
I agree wholeheartedly. One of the reasons I bought this thing is because I understood there was a promise to bundle usable GPS software, so that I don't have to use yet another GPS device in my car. You don't buy a $500 worth device just to find some piece of $hit on it that says "ovi maps", but has nothing to do with what was advertised. In "ovi maps" video clips there is a guy sticking device to the windshield, using voice commands, offline maps. Guy goes to f##ing Prague and gets around both on car and on foot, can access all the maps and even see historical markings. "Navigation on your Nokia. For free. Forever. Plus free maps for more than 180 countries". That is what "ovi maps" mean to me. This is what I paid the $500 for. The crap they bundle does not even know map of Rocky Point in Mexico.

Anyway, in a meantime, my old GPS is still in my car, and I feel I have been cheated.
