[ORIGINAL POST - 19-AUG-09]

You may or may not have noticed that yesterday the N97 disappeared from the download list over at Nokia Maps. Well today it has re-appeared, but with Nokia Maps 2 instead of OVI Maps 3.

This is probably due the large number of N97 users that have been cursed with loss of map data and poor GPS connection among other things since upgrading to OVI Maps 3.

A word of warning before downgrading as many have experienced the loss of their licences when downgrading from Maps 3 to Maps 2. The only way to solve this is long calls to Nokia care.

All we can hope is that the bugs will soon be ironed out soon and the N97 will regain OVI Maps 3.

[UPDATE - 02-SEPT-09]

Nokia have now upgraded the N97 back to Maps v3. I assume this means that the problems are sorted now with GPS degradation and data loss.
