Why aren't there any English GPS maps for Japan?

I mean, why? There are GPS maps for almost every developed country, but for Japan there are none that i know of (neither Navteq nor Teleatlas, which are the two major cartography companies out there).
I've seen several Japanese GPS solutions, but they unfortunately don't have an English option. I've never seen a major company like TomTom or Garmin (among many others), offering a solution for that market.
So, what company does the cartography out there (Navteq or Teleatlas like), and why doesn't TomTom or Garmin use their data in order to develop an English GPS solution? There has to be some kind of logical explanation.
Kind Regards.

As no doubt you were aware when posting Garmin Mobile Xt is now no longer available:http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-11034-00
Since this is the only way of getting navigation for Japan, Pakistan and Cyprus which Nokia have choosen to avoid providing for with Nokia Maps, presumably you would rather OP was left in ignorance of technical feasibility of it's use upon Symbian devices.

  • Where are the diagnostic reports, or why aren't there any?

    Hello
    I understand that under mavericks, diagnostic reports are supposed to be found either in
    /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ (System Diagnostic Reports),
    or in 
    ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports (User Diagnostic Reports).
    Unfortunately, even after a number of crashes, they aren't. While in my case, the system DiagnosticReports folder exists, but contains nothing but powerstats, in the user library, not even the folder is there.
    So, either they are elsewhere, or they aren't being generated. In the first case, my question would be: Where are the diagnostic reports? In the latter, it would be: Why aren't there any (despite the system crashes)?
    (A similar question is to be found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24773940#24773940 , but ended with an open question. I'm starting a new thread, because this old one is marked as answered.)
    Thanks a lot.

  • Why aren't there any folders for sorting bookmarks?

    I have a lot of bookmarks and having one long list is cumbersome. Why isn't there some way to sort bookmarks so that they can be used efficiently? Do the developers of this browser think that people only bookmark a dozen sites? For this reason Firefox can't be used for serious work or browsing. Are there any plans to change this? And is there a workaround at this time?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately Firefox for Android doesn't have this feature natively. I don't know why. The workaround is to bookmark your sites on the Desktop Firefox and then use Firefox Sync to transfer them over to your Android device.

  • Why aren't there more data-synching apps for iPhone?

    I've been watching as new apps get added to the App Store (I've bought 20+ already, and got a bunch of free ones) and I'm surprised that people/companies aren't developing more apps that sync data. I'm thinking of things like ToDos and Notes. I see a bunch of apps to manage ToDos on the iPhone itself, but nothing "industrial strength", like Documents to Go and others that have been popular on other platforms. I see that Doc2Go does have a product coming for the iPhone, but it looks like they've left out Note synching, so that hole will remain.
    Another data-synching niche would be for an iPhone app that syncs with products like Quicken, where you can have your entire financial portfolio available, and you could make updates on either side and then sync them.
    Yet another - and probably most versatile and robust - would be an iPhone version of FileMaker Pro (or some other DBMS) where you could create data structures on the iPhone (or sync them from a bigger computer) and then add/edit/delete data on either side and sync them.
    If it's just due to software developers ramping up to the iPhone platform, then I'm not concerned. What I do wonder about is if there are issues with either the SDK or the OS itself that make this type of application nearly impossible to develop. So far the iPhone doesn't seem as "open" as other platforms in terms of data management. I don't know what kind of file system it uses -- whether it's HFS+ or what, but I imagine that would be an important factor in developing data-intensive applications.
    Anyway, I'm hoping eventually to see the business-oriented apps on the iPhone that will free my from my old HP iPaq.

    Well one restriction is the the SDK does not allow access to the 30pin dock. So they cannot write anything that can transfer/sync like iTunes does.
    Also this means some type of app must also be installed on your computer. Not to big of a deal, just means for stuff like Quicken they have to update their product as well to work with the iPhone. And since the iPhone's port is not allowed to be touched, they are going to have to do it over WiFi. Not too big of a deal but then you have to deal with users who don't understand their own routers or firewalls to open ports to allow such talking. Like some of the VNC apps on the AppStore to allow you to access your computer remotely. There are tons of bad comments about not working, but that is because users don't understand they also need a VNC server on their computer, they have to setup firewall to open port, and may also need port forwarding depending on their setup. Things many home users just don't understand.
    So while possible (and I agree would be a nice setup for an app) the SDK restricts talking via the dock, so an App to work over WiFi really is only way, but is also very doable I think and a good idea.
    Just so you know, the better forum to bring this up in is the Developers Forum ( http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=164 ) May get better respnoses there and maybe get somebody to make something for you.

    Why isn't there an English language option in Itunes 12?

    Press Ctrl-, (comma) to open the Preferences screen.  Select the General tab.  There's a Language selection drop down at the bottom of the tab - you can choose between UK and US English - as far as I can tell these are always items 9 and 10 in the drop down list, so you should be able to select the appropriate one no matter what the current language setting is.

  • Why isn't there any African American emojis

    hello!?
    My name is Robert...I have been an apple user since the 1st gen iPod and I have owned nothing but iPhones since the day they came out.
    3,3s,4,4s,5c,and 5s
    im saving for for the new one but am skeptical about the 6 cause it's so new wait out the bugs.
    but honest question...why isn't there any African American emojis....everyone's always thought about it like haha ya right and blah blah blah about it but seriously there should be at least a couple for racial diversity...there's Chinese ones Hindu ones white ones but no Others...could this be solved?!

    Decisions about the encoding of new emoji or similar symbols are made by Unicode.  You can find out about the process they use at

    If anyone have knowledge , please let me know .I want to get some apple certification on ios application developement.

    None that I know of.
    It's more impressive and useful if you write an app and get it published in the App Store.
    That way you can show you aren't just a 'paper MCSD'.

  • Is there any upgrade checking script for PL upgrade

    Dear Experts,
    I know there are Pre-upgrade checking script to validate database integrity before an upgrade from 2005 to 2007.
    However, is there any such similar scripts for an upgrade from 2007 PL12 to PL13? (Inter PL upgrade) or can I use the same script for the same purpose?
