Older verzion of Nokia Maps freezing + some more p...

Hi,
Im planing to buy Nokia N8, but until the Xmass I need still to use my N79, which is great, but all the times I have some problems with Maps. Its old verzion (No2, I think 2.01 or something like that). I had to still pay few Euros to activate them.
Now for some time I have been using them , all worked great.
In last days they started to freeze. But only the navigation, lokator of the position seemed ok, so I searched for the addres, navigation started and upss.....freeze.
Sometimes when I restarted phone, but I think only included batery taken off, it started to work. But imidiatelly when I stoped navigation and started new one, again freeze.
So I started to try to change settings, one of them>> usage of the phone memory, I put it from 70% to 90% and now I cant even to switch Maps on. It openes the Maps, but directly goes back to stand by display position (Maps switches off), so I even cant to set it back , if I try to open maps one more time, it freezes whole phone, so I have to restart it.
What should I do??
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.

Hi karlitos
You don't happen to have a spare memory card around as it sounds as if mapping data corrupted? For older versions of Nokia Maps they are stored in E:/Private/20001f63/diskcache.
Might suggest temporary removal to safe place, run Nokia Maps again to re-define necessary folder structure and re-download regional maps.

Nokia N82 Nokia Maps Freeze!!

3 days ago i bought my new nokia N82, And when i run Nokia maps application after i close it the mobile freeze!!!
The Store from where i bought it has given to me 3 other N82 mobiles and all of them had the same problem!!! I believe that all Nokia N82 that are for sale in greece had the same problem with mine cause one of my friends bought Nokia N82 from another location in greece and had the same problem
Is there a way to fix it?? or i have to hope that the other phone the store gives me will work?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

first did you check for the latest firmware for your phone? there also might be an update for your maps, try that and see if there is any difference if this does not change anything then try :
*#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
*#7370# - Reformat your phone
This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working. Turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

N96 - Remove Failed on Nokia Maps

Hi guys
So I have older version of Nokia Maps running on my N96.
I wanted to remove it.
I couldn't see it via App Manager, but I thought I can remove it by clicking on Options --> Remove from the menu.
I get "Remove Failed" everytime I do this. Is there another way of doing this? I don't really want to format my memory card for this.

You can't remove it if it is embeded in the firmware. However, you should still be able to update to a newer version if that is what you are trying to do.

No 3D buildings in nokia maps 3.0

iv downloaded the entire australia maps on my mem card, and using ovi maps 3 on my phone, but i cant see any 3D buildings. is this because its not included in the maps from maps loader. i also went online to see if this was the case and still no 3D buildings wen i switch to 3D mode. any clues?
If iv helped in anyway, hit the kudos button

As my colleague explained, what used to be a single application "Nokia Maps" in some of our earlier products is now split into two separate apps:
Nokia Maps is centred around walk navigation and helping you to find places of interest.
Nokia Drive is centred around use as an in-care navigation tool.
Satellite mode has always been a service that downloads the individual map data automatically from the internet when needed because the satellite data is too large to have an entire country map downloaded to a phone. It is therefore not practical for in-car user when you are travelling fast and data has to be repeatedly downloaded as you move from one map cell to another over great distances, it is also potentially expensive in terms of data charges which would be a turn-off for most users Additionally, for safety reasons the app being used whilst driving needs to be clear and simple in order that your attention is not needlessly distracted from the road ahead.
As already mentioned, the Nokia Maps app is where your find the satellite view, where data consumption considerations are less vital because (1) you have less need to view very large areas, and (2) youare also likely to have the option of using a wireless network and thus avoiding data charges altogether, and where you can focus on the extra detail offered by satellite imagery without endangering your personal safety.

Nokia Maps 3.0 freeze on N95

Hi!
Just a quick question, I installed Nokia Maps 3.0 Beta on my N95 (RM-159) and it loads fine, the maps, it gets the position but then the application freezes for some unknown reason, I googled a bit but no one seems to have found a solution does one even exist or should I stick to using Garmin and just delete Nokia Maps to preserve my nerves ?

Unfortunately Beta version uses too much of phone resources and probably not enough free memory to run it.
Sadly, the release version also seems to use a huge amount of phone resources, often closing whether I have other apps (such as the Nokia E-mail client) running on my N95-1 or not, on occasions it has even forced a restart of the phone.
Generally however, once a route has been created and navigation has been started it performs admirably.
Now if Nokia can sort out the following we'll all be a bit happier:
The annoying downloading of large amounts of map data despite a full set of maps being stored on the phone
The map categories are missing plenty of items that were present in Maps 2.0 (Leisure centers are an obvious omission, they are listed as Outdoor sports or not at all)

Deleting (some parts of)Nokia Maps Suite 2

I want to delete parts of nokia maps suite 2.0.
for example:
guides-never use them
public transport-not availible for amsterdam
check in-never use that ether
On the suite of betalabs I could just delete the items I did not want, is there any way to delete the seperate items? or delete the whole suite so i can reinstall the one from betalabs?
I already tried new firmware, backup and deleting them from the installer in settings.
Nokia 2310>Nokia N95 8gb>Nokia N8>Nokia N900>Nokia Lumia 920

Some quick regression;
As I'd mentioned Radio I thought I should try that app. Ran it and it gave the message about insert a headphone 'cause it's used as an antenna so I put in the headphone .... and after about 10 secs the headphone symbol popped up! And I could hear static! So I quickly switched to the music player app and played a tune! Sweet! Then the radio app lost the headphones and the music player stopped :-(
So, I unplugged the headphones, ran the radio app, plugged in the headphone as prompted, found a station, listened to it, went to the music player, started a song playing and went back and closed the radio app - song still playing!
Great! Got to hear a few tunes then ... 'Accessory not supported' message and silence :-(
In conclusion, the hardware works and there is an intermittent workaround. Watch this space

E90 nokia maps 2, freezing phone?

hi, i am trying to use nokia maps 2 in an e90 device. it has happened twice, the first time it asked what to do, i choose look for wlan connection and it froze there. i had to make a 'hard reset' (ie: remove the battery for a while, since it does not have reset button or hole). the second time it appeared the globe with a loding bar at the botton, it got to 90% and is frozen there (i will leave it overnight like this, just in case). i dont know if it is downloading something or whatever, there is no download indicator or anything, so i have no clue whats it doing so far. i try to change to something else with the menu button, i try to turn it off but nothing seems to respond. any pointers?

Try to restore factory settings by going to Menu > tools > settings > general > factory settings.
Or simply key in *#7780# when on stand by.
The code by default is 12345.
If this does not help then you may wanna try to re-install the maps application by going to http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download
Download and install the latest version as yours might have been corrupted.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

Nokia N82 freezes

I have a Nokia N82, while it is a great phone, the OS on this phone leaves lot to be desired. This is from my 2 months of experience with this phone.
I have Nokia Maps application, which occasionally freezes the entire phone. None of the buttons work, including the power button. All I can do to get back on track is to remove the battery and put the battery back. Such a bad solution. Power button, like in PC should work even if the OS hangs - but it does not behave right on this phone.
Now, this problem could be due to hardware problem, so I decided to find out more on this. I took the Nokia Maps application and then removed(took backup on the PC) couple of the .sis files which were there on the memory card. After this, I could consistently reproduce the hang on the phone when I clicked on the Extras->Guides option in the Maps application. Replacing the .sis file back lets the Guides option work like a charm. What it tells me is that, if the application fails to find a file, it just hangs the entire phone - some thing that would remind me of the horrors of Windows 95. Yes, the nokia OS is yet to catch up with time. Surprisingly, I could keep the menu button (it is the only key that responds in this scenario) pressed to get the "list of applications", but I can't still close the application. Come on Nokia, I would expect power button press to get a higher priority than the Menu list button press.
The biggest problem with this phone is that if the memory card gets corrupted or some files get corrupted, then the entire phone will freeze, instead of the application freezing.
Agreed, it is a feature rich phone - but if it is not stable, it would rather turn more people off.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had problems with Nokia Maps 2.0 freezing on me (just as you described above). All my Maps issues disappeared when I switched off Assisted GPS (AGPS). The phone takes a little longer to get a satellite lock but there are no more lock ups or crashes.
Maps > Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Go online at start-up > No
and also,
Menu > Tools > Connectivity > GPS data > Options > Positioning settings > untick 'Assisted GPS' and I also unticked 'networked based', so that only Integrated GPS is ticked.
Worked for me.
*EDIT*
I do agree with you though, I would like a power button to work when the OS has crashed completely. It's very frustrating that a frozen or hung handset can't simply be switched off using the button instead of a complete battery removal.

Interesting facts about Nokia Map Loader 1.3 and 1...

Hi there, I have done some interesting tests yesterday after upgrading the Map Loader to version 1.3. First, I tried to connect my N95-1 (v.20.0.015) with a microSD card (4 GB) to my PC with Nokia Map Loader 1.3 running. The software asks to update to 1.2.1, then it tells my Map data is incompatible. Nothing new with this. Well I went to my wifes PC (with Map Loader v. 1.2.1. running) and found out the older version too claims that map data is incompatible! Well, then I changed another microSD card (2 GB) into my N95, formatted it, opened the Maps software. Now the Map loader did work OK. I could download maps and voices. I then changed my original microSD card (4 GB) back, and then deleted (with winXP resource manager) the folders "cities" and hidden "private" completely. After this the Map Loader (1.2.1) did work all right with this 4 GB microSD card. I downloaded the maps and voices I needed and now the N95 works fine. I haven´t, though, tried this with the version 1.3 yet. But you will find the version 1.2.1 from this Smart2go site: http://www.smart2go.com/en/help/maploader harrykaa

OK now, I have some more info on this topic now.
Firstly after having tried to open MapLoader 1.3 and getting the "uncompatible" message, you do not have to format the SD card.
Only delete the hidden "private" folder and the folder "cities". Then you go and delete the qf file from the root directory of the SD card too.
What is new is that I did this 3 days ago and then downloaded the maps with older MapLoader (1.2.1).
Now, yesterday I deleted folders and qf file again and found out that the new MapLoader (1.3) works too.
It even asks to update the maps before opening.
I did download the maps of the Europe with both versions 1.2.1 and 1.3.
But it was interesting to find out that Europe maps downloaded with 1.2.1 were 1,525 MB, but the maps downloaded with 1.3 were over 1,600 MB. So with new version you get more recent maps.

Nokia Map and Drive+ Beta on Lumina 920 Feedback

So I took my new phone down to MD/DC area in the last few days and here are a few things that I would like to post as my feedback on what would be nice to have, fixes, etc. [I used both my new Lumia 920 and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as comparsion).
1. Highest priority for me is that the routes from Here.net need to be able to sync down to the phone. Nothing more is more important then this because when you have a custom route that you want to use (for example, to route around high traffic or potential high traffic areas).
2. Extremely disappointed that a new road in MD (MD 200) was not used by the Drive+ and didn't even show up on the map on my Lumia 920 while it was used and did show up on Google map. This road is a toll road and is over a year old already. [And yes, I have enabled toll road in the navigation as well as selected 'faster route' as the routing to use under smart routing]. I cannot stressed how disappointed I am to not see Nokia Map have this route at all.
3. Allow route changes on the Nokia Drive+ app. As good as pre-planned trip and using Here.net, there are just tmes that it's much better to allow us to change the route based on latest condition.
4. Never once did I see ANY traffic updates at all on both the Map and Drive+ Beta. When it does shows on my wife's Google's Map/Navigation.
5. I love that under Drive+, it tells you which lane to get into ahead of when you need to make a turn or merge onto another way. However, the flip side of that is that there's no way to know which road you're currently on. This is probably more important for when you're in an area with a lot of highway/local way intersections. Also, it would be great if it also will display the next major 'road' that you will be getting onto.
So far I'm happy with some of the functionality and disappointed in some of Nokia Map and Drive+ and I have about a week left to decide to either stay with WP9 and Nokia or do I want to switch back to Android and Google Map.

Nokia Maps not loading any new maps data on the fl...

Hi,
Just posted a thread on City lens not working properly with Maps, but now I notice that Maps seems to have problems of its own: without Wifi, I can't use satellite maps or indoors maps. As a matter of fact, even the plain vanilla street maps mode seems to work only because I've downloaded offline maps for my country. If try to zoom in on a neighbouring country without wifi, no detailed maps load.
Nokia Drive doesn't seem to have this limitation, it will happily load detailed maps data over the air too. Using Lumia 920, original firmware, and Maps version 3.1.177.8.
This can't be by design, or can it?

Some more interesting symptoms from this issue:
After restarting the phone, if I immediately launch Maps or City Lens, I can enjoy a short moment (maybe a minute or two) of having the features work over cellular data connection.
The non-functionality of these features seems to correlate with how the Dialer tile on the start screen identifies my network (only medium-size or large tile will show the name). If the tile reads "Saunalahti" (the name of my operator), everything will work as it should. Some minutes after booting the id changes to "Oma verkko" (="Own network"), at which point cellular connection seems to stop working, but only for these very specific use cases. I can happily use IE10 or other apps which require data connection even with WiFi off.
If I go to Settings / Network and choose my network manually from the list (i.e. I choose "Saunalahti"), the Dialer tile will for a short while again revert to showing "Saunalahti", and I get another 2 minutes of functionality.
So yes, I guess it does look like a network issue, or perhaps an issue with how the device deals with roaming networks. My network provider told me it's probably something with the phone or its settings and suggested I contact Nokia. Nokia will probably tell me it's obviously something with the operator and direct me to them .

Special characters issue with Nokia Maps on N95

Hi there,
when using Navigation in conjunction with Nokia Maps on my N95, all streets and towns which contain any special character in their name (for example: é, è, ü, ä, ö, etc…) do appear as unreadable garbage on the screen of the N95.
I only noticed the problem after having purchased the 3 years license Navigation upgrade (EUR 99.99) and immediately notified Nokia. That was back in October. Since then I have called them at least 10 times and ultimately I have asked for a refund as no solution is still available.
In all these calls with Nokia, the only reasonable argument I heard was that maybe (!!!) the new software update version 20.0.015 released back at the end of November could solve the issue. Unfortunately, for my phone (which is a branded one) the update is not yet available.
Today, after calling them again, I was told that Nokia’s policies do not foresee refunds and therefore my request has been rejected. I was told to bring my phone to a Nokia Store and see if they can help me (I don’t see how). I was also told that maybe I would have to send-in the phone for repair.
This is soooo frustrating that despite the 3 months of patience and all the money spent for the N95 (not quite cheap), the navigation upgrade and the phone calls to Nokia, I still have the same issue. I will probably end up filing a complaint with a monthly consumer’s magazine in the hope they will publish my story.
After all, it may not even be Nokia’s fault but rather the guys who are responsible for the maps, but if Nokia accepts to have a commercial venture with a vendor, than they also accept liability for the joint product. And by turning down my legitimate request for refund, they have proven not to give a **bleep** about people like you and me.
Forgive me for the long post - needed to release some of the frustration...

I have been using an N95-8GB since Nov.'07. From my experience with this phone that has a built-in mass memory besides the phone memory. I had trouble retrieving some of the softwares I have installed. For eg. I have saved some themes in the mass memory & I could not find it when I want to delete it. There are some 3rd parties games software inside where I cannot even delete
This is what I don't like about the phone. I have bought an N82/Black recently as it uses an external memory card.
Coming back to Nokia maps. Personnaly, I don't think they are that good & I have problem downloading it into my phone from my PC after having downloaded it from Nokia.
By the way the Nokia map is not even the latest map 2.0. Is still a 1.0
I used Navfone map software & it works OK in the 8GB. You have to purchase it.
I have used a couple of N-series phones in the past ie. N-90, N-70, N-71, N-73, N-80/Black, N95, N-95/8GB & now N-82.
Common with all N-series phones. After you have disconnected when you are done with your call you have to wait for a while before the word "disconnected" disappears.
The more features it has, the more problem you are gonna to encounter.
Unless you want to download softwares into your phone & have a good camera thats where the N series phones come in.
For normal usage, a 40 series phone will suffice.

Photo gallery linked to Nokia Map

1. Open up the photo gallery.
2. Pick a photo with GPS coordinates encoded.
3. Option/show on map.
4. Automatically launch Nokia Maps showing where that photo was taken. And navigate there.
That was a great feature on some older E Series. But sadly not available for N8 Anna & Maps 3.06. What about 3.08? Or Belle?

Are you sure you have uploaded everything in the gallery folder to the correct location. It can't find the index.html page.
