The new version of Gmap 3.2.0, adds a ‘Layers’feature which helps organise the information displayed on top of the map. Layers allow you to view locations and additional info overlaid on the map. You can add multiple layers or remove only certain layers so you control exactly what information you want visible on the map at the same time.

Good news for Nokia E-Series device users ,QuickOffice, the leading office document app for Symbian-powered smartphones, announced today that it would offer Eseries owners a free upgrade to QuickOffice v6.0, a $35 value. The upgrade is available for all Nokia E51, E52, E55, E63, E71, E72, E75, and E90 owners. To download your free upgrade, simply open QuickOffice on your phone (usually found in the ‘Office’ folder) and go to the QuickManager area.
QuickOffice 6 brings full support for viewing, editing, and creating Microsoft Office 2007 documents, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. For the business-person on the go, this is a heck of a deal. Most Symbian-powered smartphones today ship with QuickOffice 4, which offers users the ability to view documents, but typically not edit or create them. Even if you don’t own a supported Eseries smartphone, you can still use QuickManager to upgrade your phone’s version of QuickOffice, right from your phone, with no PC needed.
Recently, Symbian Foundation has launched Symbian WRT Widget, Symbian.org has done an excellent job by creating lightweight widget that allows people to access the Symbian website (Forums, Wiki, Blogs and Bugzilla ) from their Symbian device on a simpler and faster way without even needing to go through an internet browser.
Once you start the widget, you’ll be prompted for your symbian.org username and password. If you don’t already have one, you’ll be able to register.
