I have seen screen shots of colour. (Yes Ovi maps for me is that bad, I have beige and nothing.)
I have seen screen shots of streets. (Yes my ovi maps can't find anything while standing in a city, it reports that I am stood in a field of nothing.)
And I have seen buildings (see note above)

Congrats to OP. I am off to see if I can get half of this to work.

Although I am shocked to hear Nokia does the map lookups on their servers, no wonder when I last used OVI maps it drank half my battery in less than twenty minutes. For those on limited data plans I pity you.
Couldn't agree with you more, this thread is simply kick-***. Its still just a bit too techy for me and I don't think I can pull off installing all this stuff correctly.

However about your Maps, it sounds like you might have a corrupt installation or something. Have you tried doing a reflash`? A lot of components were updated (or changed) in PR1.3., so maybe something went wrong in the process.
