After the upset of the faulty original update to maps 3.8, I've tried it out a few times now (on my E6) and offer my comments and feedback.
Positive:
I always use assisted GPS and 3.8 seems to acquire the current position very quickly.
Accuracy is improved too. When at home v3.6 would frequently try and tell me I was at an even numbered house on my road. There are no even numbered houses on my road. No such problem with 3.8
The ability to clear the search history keeps a neat freak like me happy 
The increased size and spacing of some of the menu touch buttons is an improvement to the user interface, considering we may be operating the software while driving. It's also a particular improvement on the E6 where the relatively small screen and high pixel density meant that some buttons and text were previously far too small. The graphics on the location information screen where such things as the option to add a location as a favourite or select to navigate to a location is found, still needs further upscaling on the E6, in my opinion.
Route overview and preview is much better than that on 3.6. Strangely though the road names are missing from the dedicated route overview screen when you step through each turn in succession but not in what I think of as the route preview.
Addition of a weather application
Negative:
The modular or at worst messy fractured installation. All maps functions are no longer directly accessed from one unified menu icon. We now have six! If this separate component part approach is taken I believe we should therefore be able to select which component parts we keep and which we uninstall depending on our personal needs. At the very least "Drive" should also be instantly accessible from the within Maps as started by the main launcher/shortcut/main maps menu icon.
I don't believe "map loader" should be really be considered an applet on it's own, with it's own menu icon. This could be neatly included as an option or setting accessed within the main maps application.
The weather application could do with expanding so that you can select the forecast location. Since we use maps when traveling to places, it is often handy to know what the weather forecast is for your destination, not just where you are now. The hourly time line is excessively detailed and contributes to on screen clutter. Banner adverts!!! Need I say more?
The big bad ugly one... The vertical information bar down the left hand side of the screen, in drive mode, in which distance traveled etc. Is displayed. It takes up pretty much a quarter of the screen width on the E6. This is way over the top and marginalises the map itself. There was nothing wrong with the proportions of this element in v3.6. Please shrink it down at the first opportunity. Thanks.
Me too ... And one more deal-breaker: I drive a motorbike and need visual directions without distraction. For this purpose Maps 3.06 has a very useful screen, showing where I am at the bottom, what and when to do next in the middle, and what to do after that at the top:
This screen option is missing in Maps 3.08 ...
Also, bikers don't just drive from A to B. We often drive from A to F via B C D E and back to A via G H I J (waypoints are important to me).
I decided to refurbish the poor thing and bring it out of its misery, only installing the Anna 1 + 2 and the extra hotfix package - and I'll be quite happy to freeze my N8-00 at this stage. Life is too short to mess around with defective updates.
Best regards,
Hans
