This is indeed a very fast moving thread.

Have updated latest ovi map into my phone. As for POIs, ok la.. not too bad. Even took it for a spin to a place nearby my house. But need more extensive testing later on. Bravo to Nokia for making ovi maps navigation free for life.

However, POI still lose out to Garmin XT's MFM maps... those fellas are really updated

Thanks bro, really helpful guide. I too was blur blur at the start and used network to download voice guide, total costs me RM5 (using digi prepaid) but nevermind la, at least now i know and will advise anyone who is starting up ovi maps to load up the maps and voice guide using nokia map loader.

Also planning to contribute to ovi maps, the online POIs really need more updating thumbup.gif

Another thing i noticed, everytime i closed ovi maps, when i switch over to garmin, sure hang one.. hmm.gif my advise is give it a few minutes before turning on garmin if anyone has this problem la

ohmy.gif no kidding? no wonder la a lot POIs are so limited.. i guess garmin is still the safer bet right now, need to wait for the ovi maps to be up to date, but good to have an extra GPS option in our phones

POI can easily reported and updated but how about those missing road for newly developed area?? example a housing that near my place already finished about 2 years+ but if refer to google maps, ovi maps, sygic maps, ndrive maps and all other international maps still refer that place as a jungle area... only garmin have those maps in detail... i think maybe even the world atlas not updating it as well (because most of those international maps are kind of sharing among each others)...  hmm.gif

Good point there bro, i guess no use if add POI but the map still does not have the new road, guess garmin-mfm still rules, the place i am working also listed just as a patch of jungle only in ovi maps.. hahaha
