We're all looking forward to the full release of Maps 3.0, it's been a long time in the works. Nokia have released a new software called Maps Updater, which obviously updates your Nokia Maps, but it's surprisingly an .exe, which is a PC only file. But if you're like me, and own a Mac and haven't bothered with dual boot, how on earth do you get maps 3.0 on to your handset?

Well officially you can't. However, looking further in to the app, all it actually does is install a .sis file. With a bit of craft and trickery we've managed to intercept the .sis file, it's called Nokia_Maps_3.01_2401_5.0_u.sis. So if you're like me, and own a mac but keen to get Maps 3.0, I've included the file at the bottom of the post.

The process of getting the .sis file wasn't particularly difficult, but that isn't the point, is it? If you're curious as to how I got the file, I simply fired up Maps Updated on a PC, and as soon as it downloaded the update, before I clicked through to your device to proceed with the install, I searched the hard drive for new *.sis files and there it is.

I'm hoping Nokia release a Java version of the updater, so that we don't have to go through this process each time Maps is updated

If anybody has the 3rd edition version, please send it over to paul at n97geeks dot com :)

	Can someone link to the N95 version? Great that it has been confirmed that it is indeed only a .sis file!! Now, only if someone could put up the N95's version of the file!! I simply refuse to install a complete OS (Windows) on my Mac just for a measly .sis file!! Regards, Anup
