Hi, Whereas this is technically correct, many people are using Ovi Maps 3.03 for free on the N82.
Let me just say that just because Nokia says it can't be done, doesn't actually mean it can't be done. I won't say any more, as the last time I tried to help in this regard I seem to recall it all got rather heated and blown out of all proportion. Just to say it took me 3 minutes with bing to find how to do it, and another 3 to verify that it wasn't just someone pulling a fast one. HTH. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
