N97 location function - ovi maps; google maps; fou...

Hi All
I've recently moved from the UK to Australia. I have a new modem and n97 and new SIM - none of these have been in the UK.
What I have brought from the UK is the wireless router. I haven't used this for about 2 years (as I got a different internet service which came with it's own wireless modem).
When I conntect my n97 via the wifi - any of the location based services (maps, apps etc) all think they are in the UK at my old old address. When I use the 3G internet - the phone knows exactly where it is. The problem seems to be somewhere between the n97 and the wireless. Any idea how I fix this???
Thanks in advance for your help.

The possible cause is the router. WiFi positioning is based on identifying the MAC ID of the router, which tells where its supposed to be. The databases may have not yet been updated and your router's address is being identified as somewhere in UK. I dont know if you can manually update your router's location, but you can check in its settings page.

N8 Ovi Maps Lags Actual Location

I thought I read about this problem somewhere but cannot remember where. I tried searching but did not really find an answer.
When I use Ovi Maps on my N8, either just as a map while driving or to navigate, it appears the icon representing my current location is always a little behind my actual position. For instance, when my car is in the middle of an intersection Ovi Maps shows that position only after I am a few car lengths past the intersection. This happens at all speeds. I have it zoomed in a fair amount so that I can read all the street names. This makes it hard to navigate where there are roads really close together since you cannot easily tell where to turn. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Jay

The latest version from the Ovi store did not correct the issue. I also uninstalled Nokia Bubbles (along with downgrading Qt framework) and still have the problem. I just installed the latest Ovi Maps from Beta Labs and also upgraded my maps, still have the problem.
As mentioned I have the zoom level set to where the red triangle is about twice the size of main roads (not sure how to read the gauge - might be 230 yrds or so). I have the map auto-rotating around my position. In non-navigating driving (i.e., no destination set) the red triangle is centered on a side road when I am completely thru the intersection, sometimes by a car length. This may not sound like a problem and most times it is easy to figure out, but where I live there are side streets very close to one another and at times it is difficult to know which one to turn. Also, the rotating/scrolling of the map does not appear to be very smooth or quick, but I am not sure if that is how it is supposed to work. Also not sure if there is some delay when the map moves (i.e., only every half-second it is updated, etc.).
Anyhow, I am trying to figure out if it is a problem with the N8 GPS, other N8 hardware, etc.
Thanks

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

C6 Ovi Maps/Navi works, connecting to Nokia Accoun...

Greetings,
The location sharing feature seems really cool and I'd like to use it with my new Nokia C6. Ovi Maps and navigation works fine for me, however it will not login my Nokia Account. That whole menu is quite buggy actually. It does not "forget my account" either, but if I click it then restart my Nokia, I can re-add my login details... then it attempts to login, but nothing happens. I left my phone to try and login all night, in the morning it still said "Connecting to Nokia Accounts.." and if I cancel it, i will have to click "forget account" and reboot nokia again to make it reappear. Several attempts didn't work though.
I've updated to both latest Symbian version and Ovi Maps.
Is there another Nokia Approved App that would let me share my location? (as often and automatic as possible)
Thanks in Advance

I re-installed the phone's firmware and this has fixed the bug!

Problems with OVI Maps 3.4 for 5800 XpressMusic

I downloaded Ovi Maps 3.4 on my 5800 and now every time I try to start using maps, the screen goes dim and the phone restarts itself. What I have to do to solve this problem?
I was using the version 3.3 and the navigation was working perfect.

Hi c_dzeprailidis
When you upgrade to OVI Maps v3.04 it adds an additional positioning method "Wi-Fi/Network which can cause issues for some users, so try disabling it. Go to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning methods.

Ovi Maps 3.06 & 5800 XM. Update function worked in...

After spending hours and hours of my valuable time trying to get the update function to work in the final release of 3.06,I give up and have had to turn to this forum for help. I've encountered so many problems with moving from the beta to final release that I don't know where to start. Seems you cannot update form the 3.06 beta,you must first remove a significant number of installed files with the application manager before Ovi Suite will stop giving you a error response when trying to update to the final version from beta. This I only learnt on a forum.
The issue of why the update function no longer works as it did in the beta version has me stumped. I've tried reinstalling the phone software,set it back to it's factory settings,etc,etc,etc,. I really liked the beta update function,it worked well by indicationg the maps I had installed and could check to see if my maps were out of date. I had even used it to download a few smaller maps.
I read somewhere to try deleting some of the MapLoader files that are stored on the micro-SD card. It's possible I did not delete the correct one's as that did not help.

@9252fly
Welcome to the forum!
You have my commiserations as have "Update" working on 5800XM but not N8, although not unexpected in view of difficulty returning N8 to "out of box" state, which not an issue however with 5800XM. Ironically on N8 the application Mobile Map Loader from OVI Store http://store.ovi.com/content/77461 does work on with latest OVI Maps version, which in my situation may have introduced conflicts with "Update".
I might add that as primarily a Mac user OVI Suite is not a readily available option so would get application via:http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-5800-...
If backing up to memory card I have yet to try just restoring Contacts & Messaging on newly formatted device to see if by not restoring "Settings" this resolves the issue or not.
As you mentioned it can sometimes be necessary to Go to Menu > Settings > Application mgr. > Installed apps and uninstall any of these present: Open C LIBSSL,Open C LIBSSL Patch, OVI Maps Wi-Fi/Network Positioning, PIPS Installer, Share Location Agent, Share Location, Share Location Widget, Standard C++ Library Common, Standard C++ Library Patch, Symbian OS Pipes Upgrade, Symbian OS PIPS Upgrade & Upgrade for OpenC LIBZ Support
AFAIK the only files mentioned for removal from memory card are E:\Cities + .qf file to remove all existing map data in case of corruption when changing from one map set to another upon updating.

N97:Ovi Maps crashes after a few seconds

On N97 I had Ovi maps working like a breeze for some weeks now. All of a sudden I see this behaviour. Open Ovi Maps, see the main page, click on My Location the map appears a message about connecting might cost you something and the Ovi Maps disappears.
What should I do the get Ovi Maps working againg. Oh, btw Internet works just fine.

The original maps app that came with the phone will always be there (like music player or photo viewer or web browser) Maps 3.04 works fine on my N97. Best way to install is to remove (as you said you did) all Nokia/Ovi maps from Installed Applications, then download Ovi Maps 3.04 Beta from Nokia Beta Labs. Then use Nokia Maps Loader on PC to first remove old maps, followed by downloading and installing the map data for your region onto the phone (the stuff the Maps app uses to find where you are and to navigate) to avoid having to download 'on the fly', this speeds everything up and avoids data usage. Maps should then work fine ! Well it works for me !!
Good Luck

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.

Still the same bugs?! (Ovi Maps, N8)

Hi!
I'm using Ovi maps lately quite a lot but I have some problems with this software, especially with the usability. When searching the net for bugfixes/help I found an older bug report on Nokia BetaLabs: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-06/bugreport/23781/top-10-bugs-in-ovi-maps-v-3... and my problems are still the same but Ovi Suite says that I have the latest version (v3.06, Map version 0.2.42.122 on N8-00)
My problems are:
1.) When searching for an accurate address (Street name, No., ZIP, City name) there is no hit for offline navigation, Ovi maps needs an online search. If I leave the house number out the offline navigation finds the street - Why aren't there the house numbers stored for offline navigation? There is mostly no sense in only finding a street but not the accurate address. As long as I only use the navigation inland that isn't a big problem as I have internet connection included in my phone rate - but it's a problem abroad because of high roaming rates ...
2.) So I have always internet connection on Ovi maps - problem is that sometimes when the UMTS-connection is lost (e.g.. in tunnels) there is a pop-up if I want Ovi maps to connect to the internet. If I choose "Yes" there is some seconds later a new pop-up where I need to choose the connection - That's very annoying! I can't find a setting like "always allow Ovi maps to connect to the internet". There is only a setting if I only want offline navigation (which doesn't work, see 1.).
3.) If there is more than one result I can't figure out what is the difference between the results (except the distance) because the exact address isn't scrolling and the results are only like "Country, State, ...." - I don't see the differences because there is only "...".
4.) I can't scroll through the map once the navigation has started. There is only this mode where I can scroll threw the turns/junctions. Sometimes I like to see where the navigation takes me before I start driving, that is hardly possible without a 'free-map-scroll-mode'.
One last point is the search-process: It is more comfortable to have a step-by-step search for the destination like all major satnavs have (TomTom, Garmin, ...) and bigger on-screen-keyboard because with this tiny letters it is quite impossible to add/change the address while driving.

AUTxRemoteC wrote:Now to the points from my first post:
1.) I've downloaded the maps via Ovi Suite on my mobile. Internet connection is only used for the search, but not everytime, it's only some kB but abroad some kB could be very expensive ;-)
2.) Thanks for this hint but everything was/is configured right as you said. This is more or less a general problem of my phone, maybe it has also something to do with my provider. Not only Maps asks regularly for the connection to use, other applications like the AR-Apps Wikitude and LiveView (from BetaLabs) but also some games are doing the same.
1. Maybe I misunderstand your question but I have no problem with searches right down to numbers in streets with the phone offline i.e the country, town, street, street number is found and the cursor sits over that exact address on the map. Perhaps it is a problem with your country's maps? In the countries I use the geo data is readily available right down to the individually surveyed plots of land in towns and cities (and hence to numbers in streets).
I often find it quicker to do a search for the country first if it is another country you are searching for the address in, then do the city, street number and name search.
2. I suspect that you have not barred such connections somewhere in the set up of your phone generally or else for for some app, or perhaps, as you have games, etc loaded, one or more of them insists on "phoning home" as some do and as they have opened a connection Maps asks to use it.
That with Maps 3.08 on an N8 but I do not recall any problems on earlier versions either.

How to save a location on Here Maps on Lumia

How do I save a specific location on Here Maps?
I would like to save my current location which is identified by the green halo on the map. Example - I went for the first time to a friend's place and I would like to be able to save this location to my favourites.
On my previous phone which had Nokia Maps you could save a location but I can't see a similar option on the Here Maps. Thanks in advance for your help/suggestion. I am using a Lumia 520.

Hi All,
I have N8 with ovi maps 3.06.
I was just wondering how to get current position in current maps, as there is no option as there was in older versions.
I click on maps and then nothing happens
Plese help
Thanks

Once you get the GPS Lock (The Red Dot stops flashing..) and start Navigation.. you will see your Location ( a small arrow ) on the map moving as you travel..

Ovi map search offline problem

Whenever I search for a location offline on my E72, I end up with no results available.
After fiddling with my phone for the better half of a day (including first using online search then turning off the internet to use offline search), I tried deleting all the maps on my memory card and installing only the maps for the areas I need through the OVI suite. Having read earlier threads on this topic, I was sure to wait until the index files were fully transferred.
Now the offline search works, but only for locations within my own city. For locations in the neighboring city, though only a few dozen miles away, I end up again with no results available.
Is this normal or is there any other way I can try fixing it? Thanks.

Hi sherryglass
Unfortunately I think it is also related to size of country, as with world maps on E72 I can do detailed search of UK "Offline" but say for example USA it has to be "Online"; that said access point in OVI Maps application can be via WLAN or network.

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.
