Blackberry 9720 voice guide on map navigation

Hi, it seems like an easy fixable problem: I havve been using tha map aplication quite extensively to navigate and found with that the accuracy being off with a couple of meters and sometimes, I rely the voice guidance a lot not to miss turnoffs on highways. My voice guidance since have disappeared...I WANT IT BACK!!!!

Switch back to BB and next time do a bit of research before buying an expensive piece of equipment.

Can we have a real voice guiding us for the GSP map APP please ?

there is an app on iPhone called map ...
i was just wondering if it was possible to have a voice guiding you like a real GSP ...

Map data with the standard iPhone Maps application is not stored locally on the iPhone. An internet connection is required to download maps data with the Maps application, which would not be effective with a turn by turn voice direction GPS navigation app. Maps data with a standalone GPS navigation device is stored locally on the device.

N96 - GPS local maps and voice guided navi for 3 m...

I see on the box of the N96 :
"Including local maps and voice-guided navigation for three months"
So after 3 months there is no local maps and voice ?
Why that ?
Even a cheap GPS at 100 euros has maps and voice forever
I dont understand. I have paid the phone and his features or not ?

I have to disagree with you there.
The system is designed to suit all users, not just those that use the phone for navigation in the car. Plus many people won't use the phone for navigation but will use it as an interactive map book.
Also with all the new and upcoming location based services that nokia now offers it is very important to have up-to-date maps.
If we had to pay for map updates then many of the location based services wouldn't be accurate or worth using.
So for a phone based navigation program it makes much more sense to get free maps. Obviously they have to recoup the map costs from somewhere so they have to charge for the navigation feature.
For dedicated in car sat-nav systems such as tom toms then it makes sense for them to give you the navigation for free. They make their money by charging you for new maps and maps for other countries.
So in some ways nokia's system is better because you have maps of most of the world totally free. It's also the only system that could suit the majority.
At the end of the day no one is forcing you to use nokia maps either. If you don't like it then install a program like garmin XT. This program is like in car sat-navs where navigation is free but you pay for maps. A very expensive option if you travel to many countries.

HT5429 Is there a way to turn off the turn-by-turn navigation voice from the map app itself without ending the directions?

I know that it is possible to turn off the voice for turn-by-turn directions completely (in the settings menu), but is there a way to temporarily silence the voice from the maps app itself? For example, if I am driving to the freeway from my house I know how to get there and do not want my phone talking to me, but I would like to keep the directions active and turn on the voice once I need it later in the directions. Is there an easy way to do this without going to the settings app each time?

I don't think there's any way to do it, but I'd like that feature as well: on long trips I listen to an audiobook and when I'm travelling routes that I already know well, I mostly want to use navigation to route around any traffic that might occur.
In both cases, the voice directions aren't welcome, and I can get by with the on-screen display… and in other GPS navigation software or hardware I've had, muting the voice was an easily accessed option. (Garmin USA on the iPhone, for example, has a 'mute' icon available right on the maps display).
I've requested that feature at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html - you may wish to do the same.

Apple Maps Navigation Doesn't Work on 3G on iPhone 5

Has anyone else noticed that on iPhone 5, Apple Maps defaults to non-voice guided navigation when LTE is purposely turned off?
Since navigation is supposed to work on the iPhone 4S, I assumed that while on 3G the navigation should work. But it doesn't.
I have the switch set to off to preserve battery life, plus have really bad LTE coverage here anyway.

It will not find another phone. This has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices, some keyboards, some apps from the app store, and internet tethering if provided by the carrier.
Other than this it will not connect to a phone or computer.

Nokia N82 Free 3 Month Trial for Voice-Guided Navi...

Hi all,
Nokia promoted a free 3-month trial for the voice-guided navigation on the Nokia N82 and I'm due to be visiting a few places in Britain soon so I need the maps to get there. But being a little tight, I was hoping I could get away with the free trial but the only options it gives me are three different plans which I have to pay for.
Any ideas anyone?? Any help much appreciated, Thanks
Ross

Google Maps Navigation and Google Music problem

Hello,
I love the LG G2 but it has a few concerning issues. First, is the squealling, hissing, cracking, popping, etc. during phone calls, but I have seen that brought up by others.
The second problem that I've discovered, and the most upsetting to me, is that when using the Google Maps Navigation and Google Music All Access at the same time, whenever the navigation voice instructs a direction, the music shuts off. It is then silent until the navigation voice instructs the next direction OR when a new track starts. This was not a problem on my droid bionic, so it must be an LG G2 issue. This is a huge problem to me as I travel a lot for work and usually use GPS to find where I'm going, and I subscribe to Google Music All Access so I listen to music in the car. This problem makes that impossible to do (I have to choose).
A related issue, is that my Alpine CD player displayed track information (Artist, Song, Album) with my Droid Bionic, but with the LG G2 it displays 'UNKNOWN'. I find it hard to believe that a two year old phone has capabilities that a brand new phone wouldn't, so I'm hoping these issues will be fixed with a software patch.
Has anybody else experienced these issues, or does it work fine with your LG G2?

Hawaii is a part of the USA so you will be fine there. Mexico on the other hand, you will be roaming for data there and could see extra charges for international data.

How to install OVI Map navigation for N95

Ok, getting very frustrated with this now. I have given my dad my N95 to help him get around but just cant get the map navigation to work. I downloaded the Nokia Map Loader (I had to go to a third party website as the Nokia links were all broken) and have the map/voices but when my dad tries to use the navigation it tells him he has to pay.
Obviously, I know that Nokia have now made these services free to complete with other company's devices, I'm just being stupid and not going to the right place to download them. When i go to www.nokia.com/maps on the phone it doesnt do anything. I've been trying for over a day now and the phone has almost made contact with the wall a few times - sorry to be a numpty, but how do you install the OVI map navigation stuff on the N95! :-)
Danny
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Cowes67
Let's clear up any misunderstanding here, upon N95 there is no legititimate way of obtaining free voice navigation with version of Ovi Maps upon N95 as you would need to purchase a license!
You should run Ovi Maps application with a microSD inserted in N95 which will re-create necessary folder structure for Nokia Suite > Maps to recognise it.
Please note that standalone version of Nokia Maploader apart from version for Mac users ceased to be functional several years ago.
I still have N95 in use so post again if any further queries over this issue.

Maps Navigation: Can't find "English with streets"

This is my first post so I hope it's in the correct place.
I'm trying to get navigation with street names to work on 5800 music express. I've installed the latest firmware and downloaded the map loader (version 3.0) on to my PC. I've also installed maps version 3.03 on to the phone.
I've gone into options/navigation but when I look for "English with streets" (in fact any language with streets) it's not there either on the phone or in "voices" on the map loader.
I got it to work perfectly on my N97 and can't figure our what is going wrong on 5800.
All help will be appreciated.
Many thanks.

try Ovi Maps 3.04. When I had 3.03 installed, the with street names language pack only shows as direct to phone downloads. But when I had 3.04 installed, English with street names appeared on Ovi maps loader.
Personally though, I prefer without streets. That voice pack sounds terrible and robotic. Oh yeah, you know certain streets which are named after mountains? Like "Mount Everest" for example. It says, "now turn right at MOUNTAIN EVEREST" its effing annoying, especially since the residential area I am in is full of streets named after mountains.
Just my opinion of course.

You can make some limited changes in Settings>Maps.

E66 GPS VOICE GUIDE

Anyone can advise me where can I get a English female voice guide in my GPS? When I purchased my E66 it was installed with female english guide together with the map, after I upgraded with the latest firmware I download all the new maps and voice guide thru Nokia Map Loader but I got a male voice.

Hi joeski
You are correct that English female was available in Maps v1.0, not present in V2.0 but is now back in V3.0 Beta.

Why no voice on the map directions

I have no sound on my maps navigation?

I was navigating using Maps. When I began charging the phone using the USB connector in my car, the voice disappeared. Same thing happened using MapQuest. When I engaged Siri, the voice did not disappear when plugging or unplugging the charge cable. I consider this to be a bug. I use iPhone 4S, IOS 7.0.3

any help would make me happy. As it stands now from looking on the web it can't be deleted but making sure before i return this ipod touch. I wan't a clean item the way I wan't it and not how they want it. Like I do not need Itunes and App Store on this ipod because I use my computer only to shop, So many things i like out of the ipod and I am sure lots more people also would like a cleaner ipod/phone or what ever.
from looking at what I never use I see a total of 14 app's I not want taking up space and my screen.
yup with the 5.0 came another stupid icon i not like. ( Newsstand )

yes i moved them into a folder, but I not want them at all on my screen. Guess I return this and pick up a
Zune HD
less app's on that then ipod touch. thank you for the responce.

HT4993 Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?

Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?

If you mean the built-in Maps app, you can't delete it. Search all your screens and inside all your folders. You can also use Spotlight search on your phone to locate it and if it's inside a folder, the name of the folder will show to the right of the Maps icon. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.
