unfortunately no, it does not seem that you can compare the version of map data. strange though, i wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult to include the date of maps in the software. but alas, there is no option anywhere in Map Loader or the Maps application to view this . ohwell, i personally don't see the need to update maps until at least six months/a year in the future anyway. unless the region that you live in is constantly changing and it affects your travel habits, in which case you can see the importance. but i'm happy enough updating every six months/a year (yearly in which new version of Maps is released anyway).
personally, also i think standalone GPS units for cars such as TomTom, Navman etc are much more useful in day-to-day usage for navigation. nothing against Nokia phones, but just for convenience they are much much easier and there is the larger screen which makes things much much easier. for me, the phones are useful in Pedestrian mode or for short distance, non-complicated routes (i.e. few street directions). then again, i also use a paper street directory sometimes as well. just whatever floats your boat i guess
