  Ibrahim, 

  Thanks for letting me know. I may well be upgrading to a Nokia N97 in the 
summer, when my contract is due for renewal and when the new Talks 5.0 is out. 
I presume the Maps app will work with the N97? I'm also presuming that the N97 
has built-in GPS, in the same way as the N96. 

  I am not a Wayfinder user. I was about to invest in it when news broke about 
its demise. 

  Many Thanks, With Kind Regards,

  Hi Charles. 
    
  No, Ovi maps is the new incarnation of maps, its called Ovi Maps as it is now 
part of the Ovi suite of services.  The N96 isn't compatible with the latest 
version of the software though, so you'll have to either upgrade your phone or 
stick to using wayfinder if you have it. 
    
  All the best, Ibrahim.

  Hi, 

  Is Nokia OV Maps the same as the Maps application on a Nokia N96 and, if not, 
where might I obtain it and how much would it cost? 

  Many Thanks, With Kind Regards,

  Hi I will demonstrate this Ovi Maps. I will do this tomorrow. I just need 
  one piece of advice. I don't have any recording equipment. I don't think I 
  can use the recording facility on my E72 while I'm navogating but I could be 
  wrong on that. I have a none speach Samsung Mp3 player in which I can use. I 
  will play around with the devices today to see which piece of equipment can 
  produce the best sound quality. I will demonstrate this App on a local walk 
  in my area. I'm a long cane user so I can only hold one device at a time and 
  the recorder in the phone would of been ideal. I will get back to you all 
  when I've decided on my method of recording.
