If so can you tell me if you're using the street maps and if they're worth having?
Thanks in advance.

I had TubeLondon on my P900, and I could never get the Streetmaps to work. Eventhough I almost had nothing else on the phone, it kept saying that there was not enough available memory. Haven't tried it on my p910 yet though.

I have Tube London Streets on my P900, and it works ok. Sometimes it runs out of memory when trying to load a street tile, but closing everything else down or restarting the phone always solves that.
It has been very useful when on a night out in the city, when I wouldn't be carrying an A-Z. It also helped me find the best route to get to a leisure centre in time for some 5-a-side footy!
The only drawback is that the maps are composed of 9 tiles. I can see that this is necessary due to the memory problems mentioned above - one tile for the whole lot would be far too big to load - but it can be annoying if you're navigating across the boundary between two tiles and have to keep switching back and forth. Perhaps if they overlapped a bit it would help.
Anyway, on the whole, I think it's brill and would like to see it available for many more cities. The tube/metro/tram/train-only versions are a little less useful as it's not hard to find a map at a station or on a train.
