Plan routes
You can create walking or driving routes, view them on the
map, and get turn-by-turn directions

IMHO in PR1.2 OVI Maps won't improve much, if at all.
But believe me - I want to be mistaken

Voice navigation, automatic re-routing would be nice, but is no use if you can't search for an address without internet (I don't have a data plan on my cell phone).

I'll say it again, what is the use of brainstorm if Nokia doesn't give a .... about what we want? All this "Community Council Election" and "Candidates Debate" seems like kids playing when you realize that they don't have any kind of power. What is this "Community Council Election" good for? Would the "Elected Officials" give us better Ovi Maps (or anything else)? If not, what is it for?

For me it is only possible to search for a City. (and then search the street with your eyes on the map)
Searching for a Restaurant in the City you are at the moment is totally impossible! I haven't found it.

The main problem is the lack of margin of error of the search engine. If you don't know the name of what you are looking for exactly, you're lost.
The data is definitely here, but the search engine just sucks.

Has there been any official word on why the UK was skipped when the last firmware update got released? I'd rather not have to reflash with the worldwide fw but seems like Nokia have left us brits behind.
