News Break

Hi all,

this is Sally here. I am a personal friend of Midas King. In case you are wondering why this blog has not been very active lately, I have a bad news to break. Midas met with a fatal car accident, and passed away recently. So from now on, I will be taking care of this blog.

thanks for reading.

Sally.

Nokia Maps 3.0 with Ovi Maps

Link for more info

What's new from the previous release?

* Start-up sequence takes you to your current position as soon as position is found. If your position is not found in few seconds, you are taken to last known position

* You can rotate the map, so you can for example view 3D landmarks from all directions. Just press 4 and 6 in map view. Pressing 5 takes you back to 'north up' view

* In 3D view mode, you can tilt the view by pressing 2 and 8

* 2D/3D mode works with all map modes, i.e. with Map/Satellite/Terrain

* My Favourites menu is cleaned up and History list is moved higher in menu

* My Places has option "Point me to" for any saved place/landmark, you the direction to that place on the map

* In addition to the synchronisation of Favourites and Collections with Ovi Maps and vice versa (use in online mode, enable Internet connection), you can now plan routings on Ovi Maps and synchronise to your device

* Finally, many bugs have now been fixed

Garmin XT Map Archive

From my previous posts, I gathered that many of you are already using the Garmin XT app for your Nokia E71, and I am sure you will agree that it is one of the best GPS app available for our phones.

In addition, I have also received requests for more maps. Basically, there are 2 types of maps available for use on Garmin XT. One is the official garmin release, which are sold in the form of SD cards or DVDs. They are available for various regions around the world. They come with an unlock code for you to unlock your maps, and they are quite costly. The other type of maps are of course custom maps put together using mapsource or similar programs.

Here in this post, I aim to provide links to all the maps that I currently have available to make it easy for you to locate them, and will add on as they become available. Hope you like this post. :)
