New Faster Maploader - Nokia

New Faster Maploader - Nokia



Faster MapLoader 1.1 downloading map data has improved vastly :)



Now comes with voice commands in 24 Languages.
English (UK) has 0.2mb more the English(USA).



Checked UK differences in Data from the last upload.

England has more data was 90.3mb now 95.8mb (6% increase in detailed coverage)
Northern Ireland has more data was 6.6mb now 6.7mb (1.5%)
Wales has much more data was 12.7mb now 16.7mb (24% increase)
Scotland 18.4mb now 19.4 (6% increase)


England at 95.8mb was downloaded in less that 8 minutes, the software then transfers to the memory card and verifies the map data has been completed successfully.
Voice for English [UK] took 45 seconds to download and a minute to transfer and verify.

Smart2Go update coming very soon.
