I don't think you need to debrand it, but you could always do that.

Nokia N97 owners: You won't get just Ovi Maps, but v21 firmware next week with enough C drive space to SUPPORT Ovi Maps 3.03.

Espoo has confirmed you’ll be getting that free satnav goodness shortly too.

At the press conference announcing the news this morning, Nokia executive vice president Anssi Vanjoki confirmed that the Nokia N900, which runs Maemo 5, a different operating system to most Nokia smartphones, will eventually support the free turn by turn service too.

“In later dates we will be increasing the number of support for this [sic] and certainly moving forward it will also support Maemo,” he told reporters.
sigh.. but when

It keeps prompting me to go online even after I turned off connect to internet automatically/

"Online connection required to enter the shop. Connect now?"
And when I click no it just closes.

Does anybody else get this?

Which phone are you using?

Go into Menu > Tools > Connectivity > GPS Data > Options > Positioning Settings > Select only Integrated GPS

Make sure you are using a good USB cable (i.e. no aftermarket BS)

Not an OTA update yet? Do it on a PC. If not, change your product code.

It's not on their site. It's in the program, downloaded as needed. There's a Nokia Map Downloader app for the computer too, but I'm not sure if it's been updated to support Ovi Maps 3.03.

I got it.

no, it's from the Software update, not Firmware update.

it's under Application->SW. Update.

After playing around with it for about another 2 hours or so, I got it figured out.
I had to factory reset, restore my back up, clean up programs on my N97 and tried many more times to get it to work. But the main problem is probably not enough memory in c: on n97.

Stupid update should have just told me that I don't have enough memory and let me choose the location to install. Also, there's no option to re-downlod the file. it keeps on trying and I thought I may have a corrupted download. It looks like the programmer is not using their own product daily. It's not thoughtful enough.

You need at least 32mb of space + 8mb to download which both can not be on different drive other than c:

After clean up all the crap and install the new map, it has only 28mb on the phone.

It DOES LOOK GOOD.

got ghey'd by ICBC, I was stripped of my car until a claim against me was resolved. Turns out some asshat at ICBC decided to dick around and forgot to put down "resolved" on my file from that claim 3 years ago , so I was owing ICBC money for 3 years. They called, told me my car's insurance was to be suspended until further notice OR i pay $6000/year for insurance.

I said WTF and got it sorted out last week, so my insurance will resume on monday....

I just got mine to work for my N82 after looking online.
Turns out you gotta hard-factory reset the phone and the update the maps using Nokia Maps updater RIGHT AWAY.

Even though all my apps and stuff are now gone, I was planning to do a full format anyways :P

anyways... LOOKING PRETTY!!!!

So do I have to do anything to "activate" the free navigation? or is it all good out of the box?

EDIT!!:: N82 = no free navigation


EDIT:: Looks like UBC has its share of 3D buildings ( Irving library)
