The N96, like my N86, is not yet compatible with Ovi Maps v3.3.

I suspect that a compatible version will be available soon but at the moment all you can download is v3.0 which requires a full licence to navigate.

😡 oh.. thanks for the reply

I'm with 3 UK and I'm on firmware v30.033. Just change the product code of your phone to a generic UK N96 and then check for updates.

There's plenty of guides on the internet on how to do this, just Google it. The product code can just as easily be changed back again in case you ever need to return the handset to 3 for repairs.

How do you download a version of Ovi maps for thr E72 to the N86? I tried all the links, but I get "sorry, your phone is not supported" even if I ask for the E72 version? Am I missing something obvious?
