No "back" button

If I go to any of the subcategories within Favorites (eg Places, Routes, ...), there is no "back" button to go back to the main Favorites screen. I have to go all the way back to the main menu and return to Favorites from there.

No location update in Favourites > Places

Using version 3.03(54) on 5800XM. Synced a fair number of places from Ovi.

When I open Maps the GPS status icon is lit, so presumably the receivier is active.
However, when I go to Favourites > Places, it distance to each place is measured from the posiiton where I was when I closed Maps. This does not change as long as I stay in Places. If I after several minutes peek at my location using Menu > My location, my location is shown correctly and when I go back to Places, the distances are shown measured from the current location.

This is very confusing, since when entering Places, the shown locations are sorted in an order irrelevant to the location where I know myself to be. My first impression was that they are simply randomly incorrect... Please recalculate distances and list order based on the current known position. If not using the known current position as the origin is intentional, at least make it consistent by using the set home location as the origin: this will enable the user to figure out quickly that the distances are not incorrect: if you set home location as "A", and it is the first item in the list with a distance of "0 m", the reason is rather obvious.

Usability issue

Another element of useability destroyed by the illogical menu structure. I am staying at a hotel, which I have stored in favourities. I can show on the map, but not search any surroundings. Going to search option takes me back to my current / last location, so need to search for the hotel again. If breaking up the functionality in sub-apps, at least pass the current status between screens.

Favorite availibility in routes

If you want to add a routepoint, you can only from standard POI's and not choose from map og favorites.

@Flying2U

If I well understood you problem, it could be solved in this way
1) you show on the map your favourite.
2) touch "menu"
3) touch "search"
4) in the search box you can insert the Poi category, for example "hotel"

I know, it is not fast.

@antoniogomes

About the satellites status, with the FW 20 it is visible only after the fix, for me it was better in the previous FWs.

Landmarks not visible

I am using N97 v2.0 with Ovi Maps.

I have sent some lmx files from my PC to the phone with have their own category, ie Geocaches and an id of 9876. On Nokia Maps 2.0 send it bia Bluetooth made these immediately available and visible on the map, however since upgrading to N97 v2.0 and testing with Ovi Maps 3.01 these only became visible after adding a collection called "Geocaches", however on Beta i have to go to the Landmark application and effectively change the icon of the category before it become available in Beta Maps, but the icon used is just a star just like every other landmark I have which should be a hand shake for friends etc etc etc and you cant change the icon in Beta Maps
