5800 OVI map not routing

Hi All,
The sat nav on the 5800 is really good but I'm getting a slight issue with routing.
I searched an address by road and house number and county. It was found by the software but when I came to drive to it today I got a message "Route not found".
I then manually entered the postcode in the search bar and the route was then calculated correctly.
It isn't the first instance of this problem.
Any ideas as to why this has happened please?
Many thanks.

Did you download the new maps through maps updater .
It normally asks to delete old maps before installing new maps .

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.

Positioning Server on 5800 Ovi Maps

I keep getting the following message when using the new Ovi Maps Navigation - Connection to network positioning server required. Costs may be incurred. If I say no then I can continue and get the free navigation as advertised, but is there any way of stopping this message coming up?
Solved!

MENU -> Apps -> Location -> Positioning Server (turn to DISABLED)
Settings -> Connectivity -> Destinations ->
1. Remove the STREAMING profile permanently by deleting the setting from telco.
2. In the INTERNET section remove all the telco settings.
3. In the MULTIMEDIA section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G MMS only and delete permanently the rest of it.
4. In the WAP SERVICES section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G WAP only and delete permanently the rest of it.
Note: screenshot settings may vary from service providers, above is applicable for one of the Malaysian telco
The reason you are deleting the unwanted settings is a special cause which you will overcome the credit drain issue.

Nokia OVI Maps Online & Offline Map Searching Issue
1. Setup your WiFi setting.
2. Verify the WiFi functionality (browse some web page).
3. Set the WiFi as 1st priority inside the destination (internet) setting.
4. Set the WiFi as the default access point (for the internet).
5. Delete the WAP / MMS / STREAMING settings and left the 3G Internet (as 2nd priority inside the internet setting).
6. Edit the 3G internet setting and change the "password prompt" to YES.
7. Load up the maps loader.
8. Click on the delete maps from storage.
9. Reload in the maps (at least the malaysia map must be selected).
10. Load as well the voice guidance file.
11. Wait for all the downloading and uploading finished.
12. Run Location and disable the agps and network under positioning setting.
13. Run the OVI maps.
14. When the 3G internet prompt up select cancel (do not connect) (if it still pop up, suppose wont because we already disable A-GPS and network in Location setting).
15. Go to setting and change the internet to online.
16. Select appropiate voice guidance file.
17. Go outside where more satelite can be search.
18. Now go to my location and wait for the satelite to get a fix (might be take long since no agps)
19. Make sure the red dot are "IN MALAYSIA".
20. Change maps mode as SATELITE view to try the WiFi can download the satelite image (to ensure WiFi is working).
21. Once confirm WiFi working switch back to maps view.
22. Walk around and you will see the GPS is working already (since it already lock, red dot will turn SOLID RED and satellite bar should be green).
The most useful for the 3G internet password prompt when agps and network positioning enable:
1. Select YES during the password prompt you will have A-GPS (fast lock with charges).
2. Select CANCEL during the password prompt you will have full I-GPS (slow lock but FOC).
Steps 18 and 19 are needed because sometime during the first time OVI maps run it will set it "previous' location as some where maybe not within Malaysia and if this happen and you dont have those location maps downloaded in the database then it will direct download from the internet and who know which access point it gonna use (if it use 3G internet then you will lost lots of phone credits for those huge maps data), confirm this if you dont have the maps data install it will direct download the file.
Below is a screenshot shows, full OFFLINE guide, see the GPS INTERNET connection is striked out:

The method / settings above uses device to GPS satellite connection directyl, therefore please go outdoor for better coordinate locks.

My position in OVI map not showing my correct posi...

I installed new version of OVI maps today.
when I clicked on "my position" , it is not not showing my position correctly,
why it is so? anybody has any experience?

@gavin_street
If Nokia Maps have not been used for a while stored ephemeris GPS data is out of date or similarly if application updated data can become corrupted. You don't mention whether you are hapy for Assisted GPS postioning method to utilise a network access point to contact positioning server = supl.nokia.com or whether relying solely upon the Integrated GPS of device. Try going outside away from tall buildings if feasible, launch Nokia Maps and wait 20 - 30 minutes for it to lock on to position.
It might be an idea to download LeGPSData2 application from Nokia Store so you can keep track of number of satellites acquired:http://store.ovi.com/content/208256

[Nokia N8] Ovi Maps NOT using GPRS data

I recently updated the my Nokia N8 software to PR1.1
I had used Ovi Maps before and it was working properly. The GPRS data was being utilized for positioning. But after updating the software, the counter at the bottom remains 0.0kb and shows "Not connected symbol"
Here is the screenshots:

. Even I had the same thought at first, so I already checked it before I sharted the topic and I even checked now just to be sure.
Yes, I CAN browse the internet, both with the Default browser AND with Opera Mobile.
Also, after I browse the net, I can confirm the data usage in the logs for each session.
But, when I use Ovi Maps, the session for "Vodafone live!" does exist in the log but the usage is 0kB (U/D).

Any particular reason for not upgrading OVI Maps to v3.06_10wk46 on your N8 as OVI Suite has been delivering this version for quite a while?
Here at my side, that update just doesn't show up in Ovi Suite.
I only see "Real Golf 2011" in the Install Device Application section of Ovi Suite.
Just to make sure, is this what you mean?

HELP- Ovi Maps - Not accurate?

Just acquired my X6 phone last week...with importance on choosing this model being the Sat Nav package. First thing I did was downloaded latest Ovi Maps etc and have been trying system out over last few days. (Using UK Maps in Central Scotland) However...I'm having lots of varying problems continuously including:- 1) Routes are often completely wrong...taking you in the wrong direction, miles away from the route that it should calculate. 2) Big lags in messaging and corresponding map data appearing on screen. e.g. You arrive at a roundabout... before you get any voice instruction at all. Then, you've passed through the roundabout and heading merrily on your way...yet the voice instructions are only beginning to tell you that you are approaching the roundabout... and which exit to take. I mean ....way too late. 3) General lags can be as much as 300 meters. e.g. Map is 300 meters behind your actual position. Then it catches up...only to fall back again. 4) Also seems to show up occasional side roads and junctions which don't even exist. 5) Suddenly...for no reason announces "recalculating route" and appears lost for a while before getting back to where it should be. 6) Other spurious, non sensicle voice commands - e.g. turn right - whilst traveling along a stretch of motorway! I've tested running alongside my old Sat Nav system and also a Tom Tom which work perfectly...but Ovi Maps on my X6 is so far out... it's totally usable. Do I have a problem with my phone...or is it the OVI Maps system faulty? Anyone else experienced this. Solutions? HELP PLEASE!

Hi Comodo,
Two examples:-
Trip 1 - from Postcode - G62 6RA to KA12 8RR: Completely wrong route calculated (which I followed out of curiosity) taking me in a very long indirect route. I could find no logic to it at all. Also got badly lost with ridiculous instructions at various sets of junctions and roundabouts when joining the M8 motorway near city centre Glasgow. There were a great number of errors during this journey. (The interesting thing was that it calculated the same journey in the opposite direction correctly)
Route 2- from KA8 9AE to KA12 8RR - various problems and errors including lags and delays in info and incorrect instructions or very late instructions particularly at roundabouts.
Thanks for your interest. What do you reckon?

5800 Ovi map problems

Hi, assuming you have the latest map app and your settings are ok everything should work ! Just in case, try this:
first connect phone to computer and use Nokia Software Updater or Ovi suite to check you have the latest software update.
Second go Menu-settings-application mngr.-installed apps.-scroll down to Ovi Maps/Nokia maps and select options-uninstall, do this for all maps software.
Third , go menu-Applications and scroll down to Location app and open positioning-positioning methodsand tick everything except Bluetooth GPS
Now go here and download the correct version for your phone and install this (the bottom download not the first one)
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-beta-for-mobile/download_and_installation
Finally using Nokia Map Loader, remove all old maps on phone and download the maps for your region and install them to your phone, all should be fine
If it isn't you may need to do a soft reset which will take your phone back to 'out of the box' but you will have to set it all up again, and will need to backup your contacts'calendar and notes, NOTHING else, as settings may be causing your problem !! Then set up your phone again . If you don't have loads of apps and music etc on the phone I suggest soft reset first, then install maps as described.
Soft reset by dialling *#7370# followed by 12345 and phone will reset and be like new.
Good Luck

Ovi map not working in Nokia E63

I have tried to install OVI maps in my Nokia E63 phone, but it is showing as phone is not compatible for the same. Why maps is not compatible for E63 but is working for E55 or other old models. Can anyone tell me the solution so that i can also use navigation service in my phone as i have to travel regularly?

@meetkalsen10
Welcome to the forum!
Are you trying to install this version?
http://static.s2g.gate5.de/nokiamaps-client/nokia_maps_3.01_09wk44_b01_s60_3.1_lm_rom.sis
As E63 has no embedded GPS it would need Bluetooth GPS to act as navigator as network GPS is not accurate enough for this purpose.

Weird 5800 Ovi Maps problem

Ok, so I recently had an ovi maps application upgrade. I havent really used the maps since I got ovi maps and have been using google maps. Which was sometimes off by as much as 30meters. So I decided to use ovi maps for some time to see if it was more accurate, and what happened was something that made me go like "GPS my a s s!" It constantly locks on my location as my university, even if I was like 43km away. Anyway to refresh my location or something?
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

Ovi Maps seems to store most setup information in the qf file, so try deleting bothy the Cities folder and qf file. Then run Ovi Maps once, redownload the map data you need and then try again.

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/ovi-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

Well, first off, there is no OVI maps v10, just Ovi Maps 3.03 is the latest. When you have that, with the blue "world map" homescreen, then navigation is free.

Ovi maps on the 5530?

Does anyone know how to get ovi maps on to my Nokia 5530? I believe it comes pre-installed on the 5800 but not on the 5530, but it seems like there should be no reason it wouldn't work on the 5800 too?
I have tried using the map installer program, but it doesn't seem to recognise my phone. Is there an Ovi Maps SIS file or something I can just transfer to the device and install?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've got the latest version (with free navigation) up and running.
Download the 5800 Ovi Maps software to your PC and then transfer it onto phone using "mass storage"
Go to file manager on phone and run the installation file you just copied.
Start up the Ovi Maps application ( this creates a "drive" for the maps). Close it down and then turn phone off and back on.
Download Map Loader application to your PC
Start up Map Loader and then connect phone via USB cable using "PC Suite" option - this should work if you previously started Ovi Maps as above
Select the required maps (and voice if needed) and transfer them to your phone.
Next time you start Ovi Maps, everything should be there.
I think you need a bluetooth GPS if the navigation is going to be any use but you probably knew that already.

OVI Maps Connectivity

1- I am not sure that I successfully installed the new OVI Maps version yesterday. How can I check to see what version I have?
2- When I press the OVI Maps button, I get a small temporary message saying that I am connected to t-mobile, my provider. Next time I go to Europe, I would like to use OVI Maps as my GPS. How do I ensure that I am not permanently connected to a European provider which will run into the hundreds of dollars for a long period of connectivity?
3- When I tried the connection I was at home where I have wi-fi. Why did the telephone no use the wi-fi connection which is the number one priority in the connectivity list?
4- Will OVI Maps not use a provider connection if I am outside my regular provider and instead rely on the satellite GPS function?
5- Is there any way to ensure that the satellite GPS function is always selected?
Thank you.

Hi cai12, you seem to have your answers, but before worrying about your data charges in europe I'd check what they cost ? I went to Portugal using Vodafone last Oct and using Nav for a couple of hours, Facebook, Twitter and Pixelpipe only a couple of times a day, only put about £5 on my monthly bill (away for a week). Also to use maps with NO data charge all you need to do is to go to applications folder and select Location>Positioning>Positioning methods, and 'un-tick' everything except integrated GPS and in settings in the Maps application hit the spanner in the bottom left corner, open Internet and set Connection to Offline, and then you will use Zero data for navigation, but as already said it will take much longer for the GPS to get a lock on your position using the GPS antenna to find position on it's own,
Good Luck

Ovi Maps does not launch anymore on my 5800 Xpress...

I have the latest ovi maps for my nokia 5800 (3.06, and also the latest firmware of the 5800), and everything was working fine until yesterday when I click the Map icon, the application is not launching... I did not install anything new, it just does not want to launch the application (no error message, just like i did not press the icon). I had the same issue couple of weeks ago when suddenly the ovi maps stopped working (i had to reset my phone and reinstall everything), and today it's the same all over again...
Do you have any idea how to fix this? (i have around 40Mo left in my phone memory, so there should not be any memory problem i guess....)
Thanks!

Presumably you have Ovi Maps v3.06 (688) installed http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/ ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk23_b05_s60_5...
Don't know whether you restored from a backup after resetting device and have re-introduced a problem.
Perhaps try removing E:\Cities + .qf fle from 5800 and store safely on PC desktop, as empty folder structure re-created when you next open Ovi Maps application.

Ovi maps - is that really the fastest route?

I am using the Ovi maps through my N8.
I recently travelled from Barrow to Newcastle and when I punched this into Ovi maps it said it would take over 3 hours. It never takes that long and when I looked at the details of the route it was not taking me my normal way.
I ignored the Ovi maps directions and it eventually it re-routed and cut 30 minutes off the time.
This has happened several times. After changing to fastest route and optimized route Ovi maps still takes me the oddest way to most destinations.
Has anyone else come across this? If I cannot resolve it I may be going back to my Tomtom.
Thanks
Garry

Hi,
I tried to reproduce your routing issue with the online maps from Ovi, Google and Bing are giving me the same route, which is this one:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=52.2434,0.580748+to:53.0088,-2.22857
Could you please explain where the optimal route passes by? you can also send directly to me.
Thanks!
