Ovi Maps 3.0 Graduates From Beta With New Updates

By The Guru on July 2, 2009

The Nokia Beta Labs, as I mentioned before, are typically busy when everyone else is on vacation, and this year is no exception. Today, Ovi Maps 3.0 has graduated from Beta Labs and is available straight from Maps.Nokia.com. New features include traffic reports for North America, as well as a number of other interface adjustments and bug fixes. I’ve been using the betas on all of my devices and really like the new look and the new features, such as an auto-adjusting day/night mode, and the return of a female English UK voice (I’m a sucker for accents).

To install this new update, Nokia is daftly persisting with the silly Nokia Maps Updater, a PC-only application that does nothing other than download a .sis file and install it to your phone. For you Mac users and Linux users, it’s sort of a slap in the face, so we did some well-timed searching of our hard drive during the installation process to pull out the straight up .sis files for both S60v5 and S60v3 Feature Pack 2 devices.

Download Ovi Maps v3.0 for S60v5 here

Download Ovi Maps v3.0 for S60v3 FP2 here

If you have issues during the install, use the file browser to navigate to your memory card and delete the ‘cities’ folder, as well as the ‘qf’ file, then try the installation again. Remember to reboot your phone after you install.

FIRST, make sure your microSD card is in your phone. We will be dealing with a lot of data so check yourself. SECOND, install Nokia Maps 2.0 on your device via the Nokia PC Suite software and run Nokia Maps 2.0 once. Reboot your device after the install successfully completes. Ensure you are doing the installation using your USB cord. THEN, install Nokia Maps 3.0 onto your device through PC Suite and run it once as well. At this point, you may run into the “low memory” message and all that is needed is for you to go to your C:/ or E:/ drive and delete the Cities/ folder and a ‘qf’ file. [...]
