N8 Ovi maps - Places

I drive quite a bit and rely on GPS for destinations.  Ovi maps is simple and easy to use.  It is about 85% workable but I use it.  Problem - I went into a building and shut off GPS as normal.  When I came out and turned on the GPS on, all my Places were gone.  Re started - the same, no places.  Where did they go.  They would not come back!  I tried a few more times, no luck.  The next day everything was normal.  How do you backup the places to the sd card to restore on the road if this happens again?
Love my N8!!!      Thanks

If you set the phone to sync with ovi they are re-loaded whenever you open maps, you can also edit them and plan routes on Ovi maps on your PC, mine syncs on startup and close. Also a new beta was launched today, which is very impressive

  • Help me locate this place for my Ovi Maps ?

    Hi
    I'm trying to search for this place in preparation for when we drive there in rental car from the airport:
    Evans & Tselepi 21-26 Aghios Nikolaos 72100, Crete, Greece
    Ovi Maps can't find it via online search - not sure if this is related to greek-english translation issues.
    Can someone advise me further  ?
    thanks

  • How to install OVI Map navigation for N95

    Ok, getting very frustrated with this now.  I have given my dad my N95 to help him get around but just cant get the map navigation to work.  I downloaded the Nokia Map Loader (I had to go to a third party website as the Nokia links were all broken) and have the map/voices but when my dad tries to use the navigation it tells him he has to pay.
    Obviously, I know that Nokia have now made these services free to complete with other company's devices, I'm just being stupid and not going to the right place to download them.  When i go to www.nokia.com/maps on the phone it doesnt do anything.  I've been trying for over a day now and the phone has almost made contact with the wall a few times - sorry to be a numpty, but how do you install the OVI map navigation stuff on the N95! :-)

    @Cowes67
    Let's clear up any misunderstanding here, upon N95 there is no legititimate way of obtaining free voice navigation with version of Ovi Maps upon N95 as you would need to purchase a license!
    You should run Ovi Maps application with a microSD inserted in N95 which will re-create necessary folder structure for Nokia Suite > Maps to recognise it.
    Please note that standalone version of Nokia Maploader apart from version for Mac users ceased to be functional several years ago.
    I still have N95 in use so post again if any further queries over this issue.

    2700 Classic is very difficult to offer Nokia Maps support for as some early firmware versions had Nokia Maps installed whereas later ones did not.
    Without GPS it is just like having a "paper" map installed on your phone, there is more advice on how to download more mapping if needed although space is an issue in this thread:/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/nokia-2700-clasic/m-p/1048665/message-uid/1048665/highlight/true#U104866...

  • OVI map problem with E52

    Hi,
         Iv been using E52 for the past 11 months and loved the way OVI maps worked but about 2 months back i had some serious problem related to keypad and since the customer care couldn't fix it they replaced it with a new E52. I am not able to use OVI Maps properly on this new E52 meaning my current location is being shown and also in the search option I am able to search for places but when I am selecting the location and opting for drive to or walk to option then the waiting for GPS option keeps me waiting forever. With my previous E52 this problem never exsisted and the route map was created immidiately. I dont mind using the map service over the GPRS instead of GPS. I have updated the firmware and also installed the latest nokia OVI map software, updated the maps but still facing the problem.
    Please Advise.

    @Manish4ever
    Welcome to the forum!
    I am assuming that you will have the same functions as on my E72 a similar S60 3rd FP2 device.
    Suggest that you go to Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings > General > scroll down list to "Positioning"  > Positioning methods - temporarily disable ALL except Integrated GPS, go outside away from tall buildings if feasible, open OVI Maps application and wait 20 -30 minutes necessary for it to establish very first positional lock.

  • Ovi map - My Position icon MISSING (N8)

    Hi,
    I just got my N8 few days ago. After updating Ovi maps to the newest version ( 3.06 if not mistaken ) I have noticed a few problems.
    1) My Position icon is totally missing, that means i can't locate my current position in gps. that's really bad.
    2) Gps cant lock even after a pro-long scanning time, moreless 30 mins anywhere. I'm using intergrated positioning. Red signal blinking, no data found.
    3) I tried to delete the CITIES folder and qf file, and reinstalled the ovi map downloaded, but problem still remains.
    I haven tried anyform of hard or soft reset  yet, as i found lots of people facing problems doing that. Is there any other way to ocmpletely remove ovi map & reinstall it again, or i need to do a reset ?
    I would like to get some advice from you guys on solving my gps issues. Thank you

    Some cars have coated windscreens which can reflect gps signals and this will slow down position fix. One way of testing would be to compare how long it takes to get a fix in the car as out of the car. I generally get a fix after about a minute.
    My suggestion if it is a windscreen coating problem would be to get yourself an external bluetooth gps receiver. They are very cheap nowadays. The advantage of using this is the external receiver is usually much more sensitive and you can also place them anywhere in the car to get the best possible signal.  I have a few of them. They work well and would normally get a position fix in seconds. 

  • Firefox 3.6.3 and Ovi Maps Plug-In compatibility

    Hello everybody. I have a new problem since yesterday and I sure could use some help. My problem is that suddenly (since yesterday) when I open the Ovi Maps site (http://maps.ovi.com/) I don't see the map surface anymore, I just see a white surface!!! Everything else is in place. I can zoom in and out of this white surface I can even change to 3D and the blue sky on top appears but no map. Needless to say the same goes for satelite or any other option. No map appears. If I reload the page the map appears for a second and disappears immediately. When I deactivate the ovi maps plug-in (4.0.12.12), the map reappears and stays. I even tried to unistall it and reinstall it but the same thing happens, NO map visible. When I reinstalled it, it said that the plug-in is not compatible with firefox 3.6.3. The strange thing is that I didn't updated my firefox since yesterday,  it just started to happen suddenly. I couldn't find anything like that elsewhere on the web so this place is my last hope. Has anyone had a similar experience or even better a possible solution? By the way I have windows 7 but I can't imagine a reason for this being relevant since it work just fine until yesterday. I thank everyone for his hint/idea/solution in advance.

    Use Internet Explorer. I used to use ovi maps on firefox as well until FF suddenly updated itself. It works ok on IE.

  • Ovi maps problem

    if i try to search using the browse function,,,,,,all i keep getting for any section is "no results found"
    is there server down or something cause it was working fine the other day.
    how can i fix it ? ? ? ? ?

    I'd just offer this for the future. Be careful with commas. In my experience they're not necessary. However, in database / spreadsheet design, commas are used to "tab" from field to field. Once you start assuming that the software thinks, using the same logic as your mind does, then you will need to be very consistent in supplying the correct number of commas.
    If you supply the wrong number of commas, the poor old database might end up looking for a city name in a field reserved for streets, or house numbers, and end up with no match.
    Also, I've had mixed success in the past by assuming that a particular Application will undestand abbreviations. I stopped long ago using Rd for Road, Ave for Avenue, and ,say, NSW for New South Wales. It might well work, but don't be surprised if it doesn't.
    Same uneven results without commas. Same uneven results using no abbreviations. Conclusion - Ovi Maps 3.03 search is just plain inconsistent.
    And on the subject of abbreviations and commas, this is a GPS sat nav application. The core of it's functionality is searching for places and then navigating to them. If it doesn't understand common ways of writing addresses (eg. Rd = Road), or common geographic abbreviations within a country (NSW = New South Wales, CA = California) then it is not fit for the purpose for which it was supposedly designed. Other GPS applications (Garmin XT for one, Google Maps another) don't have any trouble finding the locations I want, but Nokia Maps does.

  • Nokia Maps / Ovi Maps Installer

    Hi All,
    I heard that we were now able to get maps and navigatoin for free, is this correct? I have a n95 and when I go to use the navigation feature in Nokia Maps (just updated it), it says that navigation is a premium service and that I have to pay for it.
    I thought there might be a new program available so I tried to install Ovi Maps from the Ovi Store on the phone but it just gets to "preparing to install" and then says "Update Error" and quits.
    I have tried reinstalling the firmware but get the same response. Does anybody know what is going on, have I missed something?
    Thank you.
    Tom

    Hi Gregorycharper,
    As your phone is a S60 5th edition, I believe that the last stable release of Nokia Maps was 3.06. Versions afterwards like 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09 were solely for Symbian^3 devices running Symbian^3, Symbian Anna and Nokia Belle: http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/ovi-maps-for-mobi​le-v3-07/download_and_installation  I'm not too sure if 3.06 graduated from Beta Labs into Nokia Store, but you can always check Nokia Store for the latest version listed there.
    Yes, you could always switch your SIM card and memory card with your son's phone if you believe it is a software issue, or that it is a hardware issue. Likewise, checking the Maps data and installations when your phone is connected to your computer in Nokia Suite. Apart from Nokia Suite and Nokia Maps on the Nokia website to download the installation files, there is not really any other place to source the installation files.
    Hope this helps.

  • N8 - Downloaded OVI maps won't work offline

    I have recently downloaded two map sets, so they could help me find my way outside my homecity. Since I downloaded them, I expected to have them available even without a network, simply because there's no network in many places I go to.
    However, I can't check my position or the streets or such if I have no network. Is this how OVI Maps is supposed to work? Online only?

    @tuxette
    If you are without network access so Assisted GPS cannot be utilised, you are totally dependent upon Integrated GPS positional method and due to compromises in GPS antenna size/position within candybar form of N8 this may be unsatisfactory; ironically the E7 a similar Symbian S^3 has been reported as being better in this respect than N8.
    You could find that using only Integrated GPS (found in Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning methods) that it takes 20 - 30 minutes outside away from tall buildings to establish first positional fix, although subsequently it would be easier.
    Although no longer officially supported by Nokia there is nothing to stop you enabling Bluetooth GPS and utilising a Bluetooth GPS receiver, although this rather defeats the object and compatibility of said unit can also be an issue.

  • How to use OVI map for free?

    Is OVI map really free? I bought a 5800 XM last week. I don't have data plan. I have a problem with the map. I heard the navigation is free forever, this is main reason why Ibought it.
    When I set a place and select "drive to", it always ask me: "Online connection required to enter the shop. Connect now?" when I select NO, it will not work. It can show where I am, but don't tell me how to go to my destination.
    Could anyone tell me how to make it work?
    Thanks.

  • Ovi Map not showing railway lines on N8 (UK map)

    Hi
    I've recently purchased a N8, and I was suprised to see the UK maps not showing the railway lines. However if I scoll across to Germany for example, the lines are clearly shown.
    They used to show up on my 5800 and show up on the Ovi maps website, so why no lines on the N8? Or is it just an issue with my device?
    Can any other N8 users with Ovi Maps v3.06 confirm whether they show the rail lines in the UK please.
    Any suggestions? I've tried re-installing Ovi Maps and re-downloading the maps but no change.
    Thanks.
    Regards, Brian.

    What version of the map data do you have as my N8 with 0.2.42.122 shows railway lines eg in Birmingham in the attached image.  I have looked in a few places where I know lines run and all have been there, but it is possible that some have been missed.

  • N900 OVI map not available to be download..?

    Can I know where to download Nokia N900 OVI map..? Because I search allots of places but I still cannot get the map..Thks..

    Hi
    The way i did it yesterday, to update and install new maps, was to use the Nokia Ovi Suite on my computer, If you dont have this you can download it from a link on the Nokia site,http://www.nokia.co.uk/support/download-software/o​vi-suite
    Then simply open Ovi Suite on your computer, connect your N900 via USB, click on Maps on Ovi Suite, select the maps you want and download them,
    The system first removes any old maps, then downloads to the computer, then transfers to N900, all very simple, but does take some time depending on how many countries you want to download. you can also add additional maps at any time,
    Or you can download from the Ovi site just using your N900 
    Hope this helps, let me know if you require more

    Soft reset(reformat). Type *#7370# and the phone's lock code (Nokia default lock code is 12345). Soft reset wipes the C drive. 
    Would a soft reset remove all installed apps from C drive, ie. OVI Maps, Opera Mobile?  And would it affect firmware upgrades, and your contacts and saved messages?
    This returns device to "out of the box" condition, anything you have added or installed will be erased. OVI Maps will return to version pre-installed in device software, but any firmware upgrades remain in place.
