What’s different from the previous release (v3.03)?
We have made a few tweaks to improve the performance of Ovi Maps:
- Improved positioning speed and accuracy
- Map zooming with faster speed
- Improved search for cities with zoom out to city level
To get the latest map data, we recommend you to use Map Loader. It will detect which version of maps you have and update accordingly. Just follow the on-screen instructions.
Compatibility hasn’t been widened (yet), it still only works with the same dozen or so S60 3rd Edition FP2 and 5th Edition phones originally quoted, i.e. E52, E55, E72, 6710 Navigator, 6730 Classic and X6, N97 Mini, N97 (v2.xxx onwards*), 5230, 5800 XM (v3.1xxx onwards*)
It’s a whopping 9MB download, mind you, and you can’t “Delete” the previous Maps 3.3, so I’m trying the installation ‘on top’ by copying the SIS file to my N97’s mass memory, installing from there and then seeing how much extra precious C: space has been lost. It also takes an age to install, hence this blog-like running commentary – there’s plenty of downtime!
OK, even starting with 18MB free space on disk C:, the installation of Maps 3.4 failed with ‘Disk full, insufficient memory’. You have been warned. I’m now going to delve into the cache and temp folders to clear space and try again. Can’t help muttering though. Maybe I should switch back to the N97 mini, which at least has extra capacity on disk C:
