Ovi Maps 3.0 exits when attempting to change inter...

Question

I installed Ovi Maps 3.0 on my N95 (firmware V31.0.017).  I just used it for two weeks on a trip to the US, and it worked great!  Much better than Nokia Maps 2 in my opinion :-)
After one week however, I suddenly could no longer change the internet settings in Ovi Maps.  When I selected Options > Tools > Settings > Internet, Ovi Maps would hang for about 5 seconds and then quit.  Initially this worked well though.
The annoying thing is that, at the time when this first occured, the Internet access point in my Ovi Maps application was set to the WLAN network in my local hotel in the US.  I could continue to go online in my hotel, but no longer e.g. via the cellular network.  Now that I'm back home in Europe, I have no means to go online anymore.
I thought I'd simply uninstall Ovi Maps 3.0 and install it fresh.  Unfortunately, "simply uninstalling Ovi Maps" seems to be an issue, as is clear from several other postings in this forum.  To uninstall applications, one would think of using the Application Manager on the phone or in PC Suite.  However, the former doesn't list Ovi Maps on my N95, while the latter doesn't show *any* of the installed applications on my N95.  Both phenomena have been reported elsewhere, and seem to be dependent on the phone model.
So here are my questions:
1) Does anyone have an idea why Ovi Maps may quit when attempting to change the internet settings?
2) Is there any other way to cleanly uninstall Ovi Maps 3.0?
Thanks!

Answer 1

I managed to resolve the problem I reported above. 
Since my Ovi Maps app always quit when attempting to go online, except when the connection was made through the WLAN access point of my illustrious US hotel, I tried the following:
In the main menu of my phone, I opened Tools > Settings > Connection > Access points.  This showed a long list of access points I have been using over the past year or so.  I located the access point of the illustrious hotel, and deleted it from the list.  Then, when I started Ovi Maps again, and went to Tools > Settings > Internet, it again allowed me to define my desired access point, without quitting.
In conclusion, leaving a WLAN access point setting in Ovi Maps that you won't be able to connect to anymore, can be unsafe.  I don't know if there was anything specific to the particular access point that I used.  (The hotel itself was good though ;-)  Nokia people who read this posting may want to look into this?
