I agree, I have Nokia Maps 2.0 on my N95, but think the search is pants, I like to use Google Maps to search and save to my favourites then use Nokia Maps 2.0, to navigate their.

Also, someone mentioned that S60 Google Maps was a Java App, it's a very well featured Symbian App, that does routing (but no Turn-ByTurn navigation).

Also, using Google Maps in the browser isn't as good, surely the browser version isn't location aware? Correct me if I'm wrong.
