Friday 22 - Sat 23 - EA and Ovi Maps

Jenny and I are doing EA/Manuals tonight, it seems as if the demand for emergency over night engineers has dropped away now that the snow’s gone so hopefully we won’t be run off our feet (we weren’t).

Hasmukh’s got a Nokia 5800 which is one of their recent touch screen phones that should be able to install the new free Ovi Maps software. When things had quietened down I borrowed the phone and installed the updated application. The process was fairly painless, initially I had to update his firmware (over the air without data loss…thank god) and then download and install the new version of Ovi maps from the Ovi store. All in all this took about 20 minutes. In order to get this application fully up and running now all he has to do is register an Ovi account and Bob’s Your Uncle. Look forward to hearing how it works. Per the Electric Pig site the new system is pretty awesome.
