SPECS (average spped check) safety camera alerts seem to be missing - maybe with a constant reminder whilkst going through the set of cameras?
Temporary speed cameras at roadworks not included. These are already availbale on many other sat-nav offerings and are an essential addition.

Can you make the Romanian map better? more detailed :(
Two points:
1. Subway option
In my opinion ovi walk is already a pretty cool function, BUT it actually is kind of useless in a city where you have subways, that everybody uses rather than to walk all the distance. Why don't you integrate a function that shows a possible route using subways / trains? Apple already realized this function in one of their apps. It might be a lot of work, BUT it would make it just perfect as a travelling tool for guys from huge cities.
2. optional routes
Ovi maps always gives you the fastest or shortest route. You can add route points to vary your way to the destination. But what about varying the route with simple drag and drop option? Ovi maps could at least show possible routes to you so that you have the option to choose which way to go.
I cannot find 3-D version of the map. I see in the known issues satellite and terrain are not available, but where is 3-D?
Try swiping across the screen left or right. This changes the view.

Haven't seen maps for Ecuador, yet. I'd propose getting more (map) data for Latin America.

When there is no map date, the co-ordinates are shown. This is likely to be because have gone off road and using for hiking, or whatever. It would be useful to know the elevation, so that know how high one has climbed. I have just come back from a mountain hike, had to use the GPS location application as the elevation not displayed using maps.
Unable to search for St Catherine''s Monastery, or any of the nearby sites such as Mount Sinai. This is a major omission, as it is a significant site of global importance.
i am missing Tram lines, and tram stops.
I wont see 3D maps when i stand still and not drive.
ther are lots and lots of wrong things in the map of gothenburg.
hotels are wrong
Atm's are wrong
and more.
Swiping from left to right to change map modes does not seem to work in this beta version of Ovi Maps when viewing maps in "My position" and not in Walk or Drive. I get the map type to change by swiping when only in Walk or Drive. Please replace 3D mode to "My position" view as well.
You are correct the swipe left and right is only during navigation.

On previous versions users could see if there was maps updates and download them. I couldn't find this function on Ovi Maps 3.3.
It would be helpful if there were some way to check (either on the phone or in Map Loader on the computer) to see which maps (and version) have already been loaded on the phone. I have no way of confirming that I've successfully downloaded and loaded a country's/region's map until I've arrived at that country and turn on Maps... and by then, I may or may not have an internet connection to re-download if necessary.
Released version runs fine on my E71X. After installing this beta version, I get a message stating my hardware is not recognized.
You have posted this as a separate thread also and I have answered your issue there.

Hi,
Normally you have to go online to get more. I guess why they do this is to make sure the program is not too slow from all the POI. But how about having the extra POI on the phone from the map loader/updater but have them be unloaded. Then in a manner like with going online, you instead 'load POI database'.
It would be nice to have the option to be able to have either degress centigrade or fahrenheit as a seperate option. So that in weather you can view windspeed in mph and temperature in degrees Celsius.

if I setted in route "unpaved road" no, when I drive it would be nice that the unpaved roads will be hidden.
