It's not really that complicated to use. I've never had much problems with the gps or a-gps in genreal, it usually locks and I have checked to see it switch between a coarse and fine lock.
Where I will agree with you is the network connection pop up. If I don't want to use a-gps, then if I say no to a network connection that should be final. I shouldn't need prompting again. If I want to connect I can do so later if I wish.
But this is only version 1.0 maemo build of ovi maps. I'm guessing that there will be future updates and we do have some ability to steer the update direction. Log a bug report or even add some comments to the brainstorming, hopefully it will get noticed.

I don't get it. What was wrong with Wayfinder anyway? If they simply had continued developing Wayfinder and making improvements and updating the maps, I think it would have benefited everyone in the long run and possibly would have been a good reason to continue supporting paying subscribers already using the N8x0 platform version too.

AND did you notice that north america is separated into 2 files ( which mean you have to pay twice ) ! Us east and Us west! I don't even see Canada in there!
