Nokia Maps 1.0 finally for N95!

The official Maps 1.0 for N95 is now available here:

Remember to make sure you have the newest firmware (12.0.013) before upgrading your Maps application.

I've now installed it on my N95. It looks the same as the beta version I installed a couple of weeks ago, but it should be more stable. The version is now called 1.02(1).

It is advised to install Maps in the phone memory. The actual installation is done onto the ROM alongside the Symbian OS. Which is why it doesn't show up in the application manager (which manages applications stored in memory or flash RAM).

If you bought navigation and/or city guides, you might have to re-activate your license. You do this by "buying it" again for the same areas/cities. But you don't pay for it again. The licenses are stored per IMEI-number, so if you haven't changed your phone, the license stays.

Everything seems the same as in the beta version. Probably only bugs have been fixed since the beta version - which is nice.

I saw a glitch in the beta version - if the Maps 1.0 beta wanted you to go in one direction while navigating, and you decided to go another way, sometimes it couldn't calculate a new route. I've seen this a couple of times, and hope this have been fixed in this final version.

UPDATE: If you actually got a new phone after you bought the licenses, there is help to get. Read the info in this post: http://myn95.com/?p=77
