CK-300 CarKit , CarMenu and Nokia Maps 3.0 on New ...

I'm going to post here as someone may be able to suggest something....
There are so many threads on the CK-300 and this is yet one more to cover latest software releases.
Here is the setup:
1. I have the CK-300 CarKit with latest v1.5 CarKit software flashed.
2. I have the CarMenu with the latest v2.6 software
3. I have the latest version of Nokia Maps 3.0 installed on the new 6710 Navigator.
Here are the problems:
Problem Number One
I cannot get voice guidance when Nokia Maps is running. The ONLY way I can get voice guidance to come through the CK-300 CarKit is by selecting "Music Player Mode" in the CarMenu application and starting a music track playing (or paused).
> Does anyone else have this issue?
> Is there something I am missing?
Events are set to ALL in the CarMenu settings!! As discussed in other threads.
Problem Number Two
The volume level of Maps 3.0 Voice Navigation through the CK-300 is Very Low despite the volume turned up to maximum in the Maps 3.0 application. If I play a track in "Music Player Mode" in CarMenu the volume through the CK-300 is just fine (and MUCH louder). There is an in-balance in volume between the two sources of audio.
> Is there a way to further boost ONLY the voice navigation volume when navigating with Maps 3.0?
This difference in audio volume is quite annoying if you want to listen to music and voice navigation at the same time.
Any help much appreciated as ever. Hope this makes sense.
Jon 

Dear jonphelps,
firstly, may I guide you to CarMenu version 2.8 beta which is actually the latest. (Maybe, it is not so clearly stated on our pages.)
You will also find it also on CarMenu (below sections concerning version 2.6) and Nokia 6710 Navigator has been tested compatible (apologies if it not yet mentioned there).
Moreover, may I ask how your car kit is connected to the car stereo system? We recommend the following:
Use CK-300 with CarMenu and connect music output of hands-free unit to AUX input for car stereo system.
- If music player is not running on phone than navigation prompts are routed to the telephony line, i.e. depending on settings (see below) the CRM (Car Radio Mute) will be activated to make navigation audible through the stereo system.
- Setting in CarMenu should be set to "All audio events" to activate CRM for phone calls, SMS indications and navigation prompts.
- In case music is played on phone assumingly AUX is connected, too; i.e. in this case navigation prompts are routed to the music output; assuming that AUX is selected to listen to music from mobile device navigation prompts are also audible.
I hope this helps further.
Best regards,
smarty

  • Ovi maps and Nokia Maps

    I have recently downloaded the ovi maps update for free navigation on my 5800 however now I seem to have 2 programs in my installed apps menu, Ovi maps and Nokia maps. This is causing me some problems as my phones built in memory is now completely full and I am unable to do some things as I have ran out of on phone memory space. Which one is the main map software? And also can I uninstall one? If not then can it be installed on a MSD card and if yes how?

    As far as I can determine Ovi maps is the mapping software (program) which installs to C (phone memory) and Nokia maps is the map data that you have loaded which I believe are installed to E (mass memory).
    I can confirm that you do need both installed.
    The problem as far as I can see is that the previous maps versions 3.01 is built into the current firmware (v20 for N97 - not sure for 5800) and installing maps 3.03 does not remove or overwrite the earlier version so you end up with both versions installed and thus the extra memory footprint.
    This will remain a problem until a newer firmware is released which will hopefully have maps 3.03 (or later depending when next firmware is released) thus reducing the extra 9 megs or so used.
    Hope this answers your question

  • Ovi Maps and Nokia Maps - do I need both?

    I am sure this question has been asked already but I cannot find it having spent some time doing a search.
    The question is do I need both or can I dispense with one? If so, with what consequences?
    The position is that I tried to update Ovi maps but couldn't because there was insufficient space on drive C, so I thought I would delete it and then I would be able to install the new version. Unfortunately wrong again - still insufficient space on drive C. Hence my question - do I need both maps? Life would be easier just with Nokia maps in the circumstances.

    Thanks. Can I take it that Nokia Maps is pre-installed? Would I be correct in concluding that I can delete Ovi Maps to save space and just update Nokia Maps from time to time?
    If Nokia Maps is not updated from time to time I would need to install Ovi Maps to keep up-to-date?
    I have I think deleted Ovi Maps but I still have Maps. In fact I am fairly certain I have all the maps I downloaded from OVi Maps. When I run Maps the screen refers to "Ovi Maps". Perhaps I haven't uninstalled Ovi Maps at all although the programme said that I had! Perhaps it is Ovi Maps that is pre-installed.
    Sorry but I remain confused and hope I can through this tread clear it up once and for all.

  • E71 and Nokia Maps

    I am trying to compare the 2 Satnav systems on my phone......
    Vodafone SatNav gives me 18 month subscription with voice navigation
    Nokia Maps giives me 3 month subscription withOUT voice nav. (I am only a week or so into the 3 months)
    If I go to download voice it prompts me to pay but doesnt say how much ??
    Isnt there voice trial ubscription ??

    The next time you try, when you get the prompt to pay, just click on the update option. All Nokia Subscriptions come with voice and so should yours. ALl you need to do is to update your license details by clicking on the update option.
    You have to be online to allow Nokia Maps to access the license server when doing this.

  • N8 default photo viewer and Nokia Maps

    With the E52, I can view a photo (with geotag) with the default photo viewer. Select "Option/Show on Maps" and it will automatically opens up Nokia Maps showing where that photo was taken. And to navigate to that place.
    With the N8 photo viewer, there isn't any such option. Is there any apps that could do that? Thanks

    Seems it works the same way that on Nokia 5800xm as mentioned here ...

  • 6110 notes: Route 66 and Nokia Map (Smartogo) in a...

    Hi,
    Just sharing some observations after trying out the two maps for navigation in a city.
    a) Responsiveness: Route66 is definitely more responsive in re-routing once you drive off the recommended route. It typically provide new directive immediately, whereas Nokia map will take a couple of seconds for recalculations.
    b) Quality of re-route: When a route is missed, Route66 seems to provide more 'human-like' new route. Whereas, Nokia Map seems to work on partial re-route, and try to find the "next possibility" with the objective to make a "U-turn" to get back to the previous calculated route. The difference is important in real life, since making U-turns in an un-familiar location can be dangerous, but more importantly, can dis-orientate most people who are not adept in navigation in the first place. So, Route66 seems to be smarter than 'smartogo' on this respect.
    c) User interface: Nokia Map (smartogo) seems to be lacked of the short-cut keys that Route66 already provice (such as key 5, 6 etc). Also, the satellite info page seems rudimental.
    However, the screen layout of the Nokia Map seems more useful than Route66, but Route66 has more fancy graphics. So, it is clear that Route66 has been optimised for novice in navigation, making it as easy as possible.
    d) Voice navigation: Route66 seems to be straight-to-the-point, i.e. clear instruction. Nokia Map tends to be a bit more chatty and delayed. For example, quite frequently, it would say "next possibility", which is useless, except seems to project to me that it is not sure. Also, by the time it finished saying 'possibility', you already missed the turn out.
    When one is on the road and decide to rely on the voice navigation, just tell me what to do at the right time, cut out the sweet talks.
    e) Landmark management. This one, Nokia Map is definitely one up.
    Well, it seems that Route66 is the way to go at this point since it seems a more mature product. However, I think Nokia Map has many tricks up the sleeves, it seems, especially in terms of integration with other applications.
    I still love google map for the satellite view, nothing can beat having a preview of the terrain of the route one selects. However, this is not for everybody, I admit.

    I find Route66 also tends to keep trying to send me back to the route it initially calculated for far too long after I've diverted off - usually to avoid traffic jams.
    The one feature I would really like on Route66 - and which I always assumed would be in any routing software - is a "find me another route that avoids this road" option. Can't understand why that one isn't available as the code that handles the real time traffic data could easily be adapted to do it.

    Hi,
    Any body knows if Nokia Map services are intended to be available for N80 in the nearest future?

    You can use Nokia Maps for N73 on your N80. Download from here: http://europe.nokia.com/A4509291
    That will only give you the map application and NOT location information. To get location (GPS) information on the N80 you will need to purchase and external GPS receiver. I use the Nokia LD-3W for my N80.
    I'll interest why N73 is compatible with N80?
    I have a N80 and HOLUX M-1200 GPS. This GPS worked with some apps but not with my version of Nokia Maps, I will try the N73 version.
    I tried various apps, with different results (N80 talking to the GPS):
    LOCR: N80 OK to start, then stops talking via BT.
    TrekBuddy: Works OK.
    NavFun: N80 OK to start, then stops talking via BT (restart BT).
    etc

  • N95 v12 and Nokia Maps.

    Hi.
    I made a "mistake" just after I got my N95 and updated the Maps program. Not the entire firmware since it's not avaliable for my phone yet, just the maps program.
    Now I've understood that I used to have the tracking feature before I updated, I don't have that now.
    If I run the 12.0.013 update again, will I get the original version of Maps with tracking back?

  • N78 FM-Transmitter and Nokia Maps

    Should FM-Transmitter also be used with Nokia Maps driving instructions?
    I'm a bit annoyed when FM transmitter stops when Nokia Maps has something to say. I listen to audio books quite alot and this produces some skips that I would not want.

    Nokia N78 has FM Transmitter Antenna fixed at the inside of battery cover (back cover).If this battery cover is not placed propperly the antenna will not come in contact with circuit points .So do following tests
    1. Open the back cover and check if the antenna is in tact . You can find the antenna mounted inside of the back cover.This antenna is so thin that it is covered or sealed with a film for shilding purpose.So it usually does not
    get spoiled unless we dont play with it.
    2.Replace the cover back.
    3.Switch off the phone and restart
    4.Check if it  shows transmitting at frequency--and a small transmitting icon is displayed at the right top corner .
    5. Still if you are not getting the transmission then you may  have to replace the back cover with orginal one.

  • N73 and Nokia maps/smart2go

    Wondering if anyone can shed any light on this! Loaded nokia maps on my N73 no problem - get the loading globe, gets to 100% then get a blank map screen - just all yellow with no map loaded on. The data transfer in the bottom left gets up to about 20mb then I give up - how much data can it take to transfer the first map?! any ideas?..... don't have a gps device connected to it.

    once u have the maps application on ur fone you can then download the nokia maploader to ur pc, that in turn downloads the maps to ur pc then u transfer it to ur fone to save on data costs
    if you download a map using the map loader on your pc once u have the map on your memory card then it is there permanently, unless u delete it! but if u dont download the map to the memory card, every time you open the map application on ur handset the map needs to re-download via GPRS/3G which incurs huge data costs
    if you do it the latter way you will find the map will stop downloading when it reaches a certain level, press the zoom in buttom and and it will download more detail, the further u zoom in the more will download
    if you zoom in and nothing happens then u need to enable the data to allow it to download the maps
    You do not need a GPS device to use it purely as a map, u only need a GPS unit if you want full function navigationMessage Edited by tweets on 06-Aug-200710:58 PM

  • Nokia maps suite.. NEW

    Nokia Maps Suite: Everything You Need To Know
    The new ‘Nokia Maps Suite’ was arguably the biggest application release at the opening day of Nokia World 2011. The new suite brings ‘the future of location-based services’ to your fingertips. Designed with the commuter in mind, the new location software is the best way to travel on trams, trains and buses with worldwide coverage. Perfect for when the train, bus and tram break down and you need to use Nokia Maps to find your way on foot. Sharing is also a core competence of the new suite, the ‘Pulse’ application allows you to check in with friends and family on the go, presumably this is to ensure your finger is always on the pulse!
    We are going to take you on a wild rollercoaster ride that explores the four main location-based software groups that complete the Nokia Maps Suite. Here is a quick overview for those that like to keep it top line, before we delve deep into each group:
    1. Live View: A new augmented-reality browser that turns your phone’s camera viewfinder to help you spot places of interest.
    2. Pulse: Enables you to privately share and discuss your location, photos and mood with friends and family.
    3. Public Transport: You don’t need to work for CSI:Miami to solve this one. The Public Transport app tells you the most efficient way to get from A to B using public transport anywhere in the world.
    4. Places: Once again, the clue is in the name, this app quite simply helps you discover places around you.
    Nokia Live View via Nokia
    Now it’s time to do some delving.
    Live View
    The above image highlights the most exciting feature of the Nokia Maps Suite. Some of you may have never used augumented-reality on your smart-phones before, so we thought we would give you a quick augumented-reality check. Augumented-reality essentially merges the worlds of online and offline. Take the street you work, live or study on, if you were to open the app and point the camera down the street, you would not only see the physical elements of a shop, restaurant or bar but you would see the virtual elements of the shop superimposed on your screen. By ‘virtual’ we mean the information about the shop that is available online. So this may include the shops name, the products it sells, the opening times and its exact location from where you are standing. Sounds pretty futuristic doesn’t it! If that explanation didn’t make any sense then here is a definition of augumented-reality. Augmented-reality used to be offered as a stand-alone application but now it joins the new Nokia Maps family.
    If you are not comfortable using the camera view you can always switch to a list or map view of your surrounding area, but we think that takes the fun out of the whole app. There is also a great feature that lets you browse famous places from around the world.
    Pulse
    Pulse is a great new feature that lets you connect with friends and family in a private capacity. You don’t need to belong to a social network, you simply add your location with a post and everyone else you have added will see your latest activity. Your post could include text, a photo or your location. The app is private by default so there is no need to build a 10ft wall around your personal details. Nokia Pulse is also integrated with maps so as soon as a friend checks in nearby you can find out exactly how to reach them, or alternatively, exactly how to avoid them! Check out the video below, it explains everything about Pulse:
    Nokia Pulse via Nokia
    Public Transport 
    This is a great app for those of us travelling long distances on public transport everyday. It neatly combines several methods of public transport into one easy interface. So, if you know you might need to take a bus, tram or train on your travels, then all of the proposed timings, locations and routes required will be displayed. You may even be directed to walk some of the journey to reach your next form of public transport, unlucky! The app has ‘up-to-the-minute’ updates on all bus and tram routes in 45 cities and the device tracks public transportation directly on a mobile device in more than 430 cities worldwide.
    Nokia Transport via Nokia
    Places
    Need to find a last minute Michelin Star restaurant for some new clients? Forgotten to get your wife flowers on your wedding anniversary? Or are you just bored of going to the same burger bar every Friday lunchtime? Well the Places app is a fantastic solution to these problems because it gets you to your desired and undiscovered destinations faster and more efficiently. You can check ratings and reviews for restaurants you are unsure about in a foreign land, get directional advice to the location you have chosen and then find the nearest taxi rank to grab a trip home. The software is designed to help you find locations in your local area that you may have previously been unaware of. Who knows, that burger bar you didnt know about behind your office could be alot tastier and better value for money than the one right in front of your office!
    So, there you have it, our take on the new Nokia Maps software. We can’t wait to put some of these technologies into practice, in the meantime though we want you to tell us whether this sounds like the future of mapping and if not, why!? Do share!
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

    OK I feel silly now. I just realized that the links to donwload maps manually work now...
    I will try again to add them through Nokia Suite in 10 hours and I will use manual download if it does not work.
    Thanks anyway and I advise everyone to download the whole world to be prepared for the moment where the server is unplugged.

  • Nokia Maps not loading any new maps data on the fl...

    Hi,
    Just posted a thread on City lens not working properly with Maps, but now I notice that Maps seems to have problems of its own: without Wifi, I can't use satellite maps or indoors maps. As a matter of fact, even the plain vanilla street maps mode seems to work only because I've downloaded offline maps for my country. If try to zoom in on a neighbouring country without wifi, no detailed maps load.
    Nokia Drive doesn't seem to have this limitation, it will happily load detailed maps data over the air too. Using Lumia 920, original firmware, and Maps version 3.1.177.8.
    This can't be by design, or can it?

    Some more interesting symptoms from this issue:
    After restarting the phone, if I immediately launch Maps or City Lens, I can enjoy a short moment (maybe a minute or two) of having the features work over cellular data connection.
    The non-functionality of these features seems to correlate with how the Dialer tile on the start screen identifies my network (only medium-size or large tile will show the name). If the tile reads "Saunalahti" (the name of my operator), everything will work as it should. Some minutes after booting the id changes to "Oma verkko" (="Own network"), at which point cellular connection seems to stop working, but only for these very specific use cases. I can happily use IE10 or other apps which require data connection even with WiFi off.
    If I go to Settings / Network and choose my network manually from the list (i.e. I choose "Saunalahti"), the Dialer tile will for a short while again revert to showing "Saunalahti", and I get another 2 minutes of functionality.
    So yes, I guess it does look like a network issue, or perhaps an issue with how the device deals with roaming networks. My network provider told me it's probably something with the phone or its settings and suggested I contact Nokia. Nokia will probably tell me it's obviously something with the operator and direct me to them .
