Maps 2. What are the white dots meant to be ?

Question

I've noticed that in Maps 2 (sure they are not there in Maps 1) that some roads (seemingly at random) have little white squares / dots running along them.
I say seemingly at random as I cannot fathom any logic as to which roads they appear on. They are constantly on the same roads... but these roads can be either major roads, little lanes and very very narrow side streets.
Sometimes they are only on part of a road and then stop... onlt to appear further along the road.
No documentation I can find explains what they mean.
Its not an end of the world issue, but its driving me crazy (pun not intended) as to what they represent.
They appear on the maps even when no navigation is set, so not route maps or markers for walking directions.
Anyone know the answer ?
A virtual beer for anyone that does ;-)

Answer 1

No. The idea is that if you can drive on it, you can walk on it (excluding highways). But not all roads you can walk on can you also drive on.
What happened to me is that when I had old (v1) maps on my N95 and I updated the Maps to v2, my maps got corrupted, and they would show only half a street, and walk/drive info was all wrong.
I reset my N95 and uploaded the maps application and the maps and it worked fine ever since.
Try deleting all the maps with the MapLoader and if that doesn't help reinstall the Maps application. If that doesn't help, try resetting the device (*#7370#). You will lose all unsaved data, so backup your phone memory to the memory card in the Memory Card options -> Make a backup of phone memory. After reset, retrieve your phone data with the same option.
