Intro
Notice: there are some updates to the present post beginning from here please read through

I have recently written an article about Nokia Maps 3 woes, it looks nothing happened since then; let’s hope the guys at Nokia will improve quickly the dude: I have bought a license and wish to have the software usable.

In the meanwhile I’ve made a gift to my car with the Nokia Car Kit CK-300!

I won’t be discussing the whole package here, I’d rather focus on it’s software application Carmenu and it’s current big limits, hoping someone at Nokia will read.

Carmenu tested version is 2.6 on a Nokia N96 with fw 30.033; car unit firmware v. 1.4.

Basically this phone applet integrates some phone functionality (phone call, phonebook, music player & Maps with the car audio system.

While the idea is great, the software product is quite poor: I believe it MUST be largely improved. Read on.
