Discussion for Ovi Maps Beta for mobile (v3.03)

20-10-2009 23:31

@OM Team: do you remember Snowy and his review, it seem that nothing is changed.

from http://betalabs.nokia.com/forum/topic/1256:

"That said its a community of growth, so ill lay a few key points of improvement, recommendation and change.

- Disclose goals of the project.
*Short term: ex. till next beta phase
*Long term: What new features to focus on, where change will be looked and consider at ex. Nokia maps 3 will only include improvements from after 2.0, basically saying that no other improvements rather than the new features will be looked at.
( I say this because much needed change and re-structure should be doe)

-Join Discussions
*Agreement does not cut it, share your views.

-Organize
*Again communicate with the community, do you want people to pester you about a million time reported bug? Answer is NO. So go ahead and inform the community.
Make it clear your objectives, is it bug? features? re-structure?"

Please give us more feedback to our feedback.

The Beta Labs motto is "Shaping the future together" ... this makes it sound like there is some type of dialogue between the programmers and the beta testers (us). However, it has become clear that the word "together" should be taken out entirely. Or at least changed to "randomly".

I've pretty much given up on OMM, and have switched to Waze. I'm sure the maps team will release another beta eventually, but if they don't care enough to let us know what's going on with their buggy PoS, then I don't care enough to test it for them anymore. And from the lack of user feedback on here lately, it seems like I'm not the only one.
