Probably is... it is a beta after all. But that means 'real' people
should still be using Maps 2 which is an even bigger disappointment...

Damn. Must be a bug.

Shame, worked fine for me on initial setup.

Same thing in effect though.

Oh and it doesn't work... remember those failing favourites? Didn't work for me for the next 12 hours of trying either.

Kak.

At least it tells you it isn't compatible. I mean it could be worse, it could just *not* work…

Me too… Steve. Watch out for the Prague footage where we discuss this precise point.

But, Windows only, Firefox / IE only, plugin required, Administrator account install and broken features… Hmm. FAIL.

I've always been a Google Maps chap too, but I thought I would live life on the edge, and take the recommendation of the new ovi maps on board.

First FAIL.... maps.ovi.com doesn't work in Chrome.... I'm getting irritated already....

Always nice to be name checked

Glad i've converted you Whatleydude!

Only FAIL I find with Nokia Maps is finding businesses – example yesterday was in London – at Madame Tussuads – I remembered there was a Nandos nearby but no idea where. Nokia Maps drew a blank. Fired up Google Maps, and searched 'Nandos' – found it in seconds.
