If you experienced any problems recently with version 1.07 of the Nokia desktop Application, Nokia Maps Updater, you will be pleased to know, it has been updated to v1.08 which fixes the issue with its previous version of not connecting or finding the connected Nokia device. In some cases, version 1.07 would either just hang, or even crash whilst searching for updates.
As soon as V1.07 was released, there was a flood of issues reported from many people experiencing problems with it, and its good to know, Nokia has in this case, listened to the end users, and done something very quickly about it. Thumbs up from me on this one Nokia!
I can confirm that V1.08 now works very well, and is very stable, having successfully used it to update maps on my N97, N95's, and N82 without any problems.
To get the Update, simply launch your existing installation of Nokia Maps Updater, and you will be prompted to download, and install the new version. It is recommended that you exit all programs during installation, and also give the installation permissions in your firewall settings should you have any popups during the installation process.
If you do not already have a previous version of Nokia Maps Updater, you can get all the required files, help, and information here, where you will find, not only Nokia Maps Updater, but also Nokia Map Loader, which allows you to download your given choice of Nokia Maps to your device, so you can experience free usage of Maps with no Internet connection. You will also, with this new version of maps, be able to Sync with Ovi, which lets you save all your Favorites, Landmarks, and even pre-plan your trips on your desktop, and transfer routes to your device even.

N82 Still get the same old "component is built-in" message on the N82. Absolutely useless. Hopefully we get a firmware update which incorporates Maps 3.0 but I'm not holding my breath. |
