5800 XM, Ovi Maps 3.03, larger fonts for street na...

I have a 5800 XM with Ovi Maps v 3.03. Is it possible to make the street names larger in size? The street names are only 1 milimeter in height in both 2D and 3D view, regardless of zoom level. I am aware there is the street name you are currently on in the center top section in a larger font size, which definately helps, but it would be nice to have the larger fonts for surrounding streets.
Also, is there a way to get rid of the white bar on the right side that houses the "search" and "menu" links? The 5800's screen is already small for GPS standards, and this white bar subtracts almost 1 cm of valuable screen real-estate. It would be nice to not have the white bar and have the "search" and "menu" links stay where they are, but perhaps have a white highlight around the letters or something like that.

Enjoy...
1.    install Font Creator Program 5.6 (Can use evaluation version)
2.   open ture type font what ever you like
3.   Do as attached JPG 1-2
4. Save & Exit
5. change font name to Nokia card \ cities\ font name and replace it (Can change different to names as more as your Nokia has)
Enjoy...

I have had my iPad2 for about ten days and have just two issues with it. I would like to use a larger font in Safari's bookmark menu because it is not detecting my touch easily especially around the left third of the menu bar. Secondly, I have my older Epson printer set up with my Airport Express for wireless printing and my iPad2 cannot find the printer. I saw that HP is the only manufacturer that is listed with compatible printers. Is anyone else using other printers for Airprint or will I need to buy an App for wireless printing through the iPad2?
On the font size issue, I just pinch-zoom the text to make it larger.
On the printer issue, you might try the following script to "jailbreak" non-HP printers so that they work with Airprint.

Did nokia not take this in notice?

Puzzled a bit here, are your current maps on phone memory or memory card? Whilst in OVI Maps > Spanner icon > Map > Memory to be used - can select here but only changes after re-starting application.

Teststand message box larger font for 95 years old

Hi
I am working with people > 90 yrs.
the message pop up window occupied on top of the screen.
How can I help them by changing the font and/or color of the message pop up.
the real estate of the screen is there.
message pop up dominates the screen, nothing else matters
Please allow me to change the font for seniors with strained eyes.

Hi trout00
You have a couple different options for changing the font size of the message box. The first option is to change the native Windows message box settings. From Windows XP, right-click on your desktop and go to "Properties". Click on the "Appearance" tab in the Display Properties dialog box, and click on the "Advanced" button. In the Advanced Appearance dialog box, select "Message Box" from the "Item" drop-down menu. This will allow you to change the font of the message box text.
Your other option is to use a custom step type. This KnowledgeBase has more information on this option, including a link to an example program.

Using Larger Fonts For Simple Sign

I am creating a sign. Using Photoshop CS2 I was
very surprised when I tried to create a large character
of font size 1500. Error message noted the maximum was
something like 1296.
I did not think there was a limit.
How do people make huge signs with LARGE letters?
(a beginner)
Daniel :-)

Say on a layer I was working with the letter A
in font size 20. How would I use scaling exactly?
I guess I am a real beginner because I used FONT SIZE
until I started trying to draft a sign 20" wide by 30" high.
Thanks for this help.

Larger font for my mac

I have bad eyesight and for this reason I'm trying to make the fonts larger on my mac. I know on windows there is a setting to make things larger, is there a similar setting on mac with the same effect? Sorry, I'm not the most knowledgeable person with computers.

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays dropping to a lower resolution will increase the overall effective font size.
Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access can make the whole screen magnify, or switch black on white as well as increase the pointer size.
Subrosasoft's Magnifier is a great way to magnify just a portion of your screen:

And then there is the popular Shapeshifter, whose compatibility often breaks each time you update your operating system, so update your operating system only after making sure that Shapeshifter theme you are using works with the operating system you want to use:

Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation

Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation
Mobile navigation for everyone, the Ovi Maps takes you where you want to be and shows you what you want see, with navigable maps for over 70 countries worldwide. All this with only one click. And it's all free.
- Free Drive navigation
- Free Walk navigation
- Free maps and map updates
- Free Events guides
- Free Lonely Planet guides
- Free Michelin guides
You thought Garmin and TomTom were in trouble when Google announced its free Navigation service? Wait until investors hear Nokia's news.
Reuters is reporting that Nokia will offer free navigation on its smartphones. However, instead of just the US (the current Google limitation sans hacking), Nokia will be demonstrating its reach by offering free turn-by-turn directions in 74 countries and 46 languages - a move that should cover 20 million smartphones globally with Ovi Maps available in over 180 countries.
Update: The original San Francisco Chronicle report has been pulled but Google cache caught a bit more saying that Nokia's navigation service is "capable of operating completely offline" unlike Google Navigation which requires data connectivity.
Update 2: Nokia just made the download link live. Hey, where's the N97 and N900.
Update 3: And it's official. Starting today, Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation is free across the globe. Drivers receive turn-by-turn voice guidance including lane assistance, traffic information (in 10 countries including the US), and safety camera and speed warnings while pedestrians will be guided on shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones in over 100 cities across the globe. It all works offline too, which should extend battery life and keep that navigation humming even while puttering about in data dead zones without racking up international roaming charges (take that, Google). From March 2010, all new Nokia GPS enabled smartphones will come installed with the new Ovi Maps application and pre-loaded with local country map data and walk and drive navigation with access to location-aware Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides at no extra cost. Additional premium guides like a weather service and events / movies are also included. Just 10 devices from Nokia's massive catalog are available today a list that includes the N97 Mini, 5800 XpressMusic, 5800 navigation edition, E52, E55, E72, 5230, 6710 navigator, 6730 classic and X6.

Ovi Maps 3.04 - POI's icons

How can I set Ovi Maps 3.04 to show only the icons of my saved favourite places?
Sometimes, when I browse the map of a major city like Lisbon, Ovi Maps shows a large number of icons for its standard POIs.
I have already tried to turn off the 'places' option at the map view menu, but the icons of all POIs still are showing.

I know what you're talking about, but that's not what I meant.
What I tried to turn off is the 'places' option, which is at the menu with the map view options satellite view, terrain view, 3D view, night view.

Favorites problem after upgrading to ovi maps

I just upgraded my 5800 to ovi maps using the Nokia Maps updater. Everything seems to work except for one significant problem. Although all my old favorites are still there, when I go to the favorites menu, there is no text in the menu items, or the text is the same black color as the packground. I can see little icons, and i can go to my places if i remember that is the 2nd item on the menu and there I can see a number of items equal to my favorites, with little icons and also no text. I have to blindly select and discard till I get the one I was lloking for. Once selected though, they appear on the map just fine. Please help.

Do you have many pictures?
Have your tried to reinstall the phone software using SUS to check if the problem remains?

OVI Maps keeps wanting to download data after upda...

I have the Nokia 5230 which I bought in July. I had also installed the OVI suite on my PC, which I used to download the full map of Malaysia and Singapore. I could happily use the GPS function without having to download large amount of data through the phone, or allow it to go online if I want to search for location. In the case where I wanted to use it offline, zooming in or out at any level allows me to see the roads and place names clearly.
A few days back while using OVI Maps, a popup came up saying a new version is available. I promptly allowed the download, but installation failed saying there "was not enough memory".
I uninstalled apps from my phone, including "Nokia Maps". After clearing up apps and getting about 40MB free memory, was I able to install the new version of OVI maps. I promptly re-downloaded the Malaysian and Singapore Maps through Ovi SUite.
Now I notice OVI Maps now download large chunks of data through my data connection during GPS usage. If I disallow online use, my GPS shows nothing but a blank "map". If I allow going online for the first time, and not the second time, when using GPS, the same blank appears if I zoom out or zoom in. It's as if the maps are not there, so data connection is required to download them. How can this be when I have already downloaded the Malaysian / Singaporean map to my phone through OVI suite? I have set on my phone and the OVI suite for the data to be saved to my microSD card.
Please help. This is driving me up the wall.

Here's what you can try to do.
1. Back up your phone memory.
2. Update the phone software.
3. Download Ovi Maps in this link : http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/free-downloads#/nokia-5230/
4. Remove the "qf" and "Cities" folder on your memory card.
5. Install the Maps Application on the newly updated phone.
6. Once the installation is successful, run the Maps on your phone but don't go online. This will re create the two folders that you deleted in the memory card.
7. Open Settings of the maps application then click on maps. Make sure that it will use the maximum allowable size (90%)
8. Download the Maps data again using Ovi Suite.
Every one can correct if I'm wrong. ^_^
