Downloading Ovi Maps 3.3 For N97

i've just got checked my SW update and it saids i can download the new ovi maps3.3 but comes up with failed when i try and download it =S ???
so ive gone on nokia and downloaded the the n97mini but it dont show me the paths thro the park and ally ways. it takes me the long way round only shows me the roads when im on walk mood
and dont show me the 3D land marks =S
anyway way to fix it ??

My N97 has the latest software. I cannot install Ovi Maps with free navigation v.3.03 via my phone software updater.
First, I got the a message saying "not enough memory - delete some data" - I have 29 GIGS in mass memory and 73 MB on phone memory.
THEN I reinstalled the old version of Ovi Maps and now begins the install (nearly to the end for about 30 minutes) and NOW I get the message “download failed.” Tried it now 5 times (restart phone, etc).
When I tried to download the new map app via Ovi Suite (I have the latest version), the new Ovi Maps version does not show up at all in as an "update."
When I attempt to download the new Ovi Map app s via the web, it points me back to my N97 to download via the phone software updater (so caught in a loop).
It is forcing me to download via my phone sw updater, yet fails every time. What do I do?
PS: I always have problems like this with this stupid, expensive phone and wish that I had never purchased it and I am sick of having to come to this board to do anything with this useless POS phone!!! Thanks for listening,
A very annoyed US Customer.

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.

Cant download ovi maps

Hey,
Today, I used Ovi Upgrade Center, and got a golf game and the new Ovi Map (v3.06 10wk46 b01). I installed this, and started on the phone. The phone said, the maps are expired, need delete and get newer maps. I said OK.
Later, I connected the phone with PC, and used again the Maps Loader. It cant find new maps. Exectly, dont find nothing.... What can I do? Can I download the maps manual?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Connect the phone to PC and thru' Windows explorer first delete the 'Cities' folder and the 'qf' file..Disconnect the phone..
Open Maps on phone and click on the spanner icon-->Internet-->Online and come back to menu..wait for about a minute and then close the application.. Now connect the phone again to PC and try downloading the Maps data thru' OVI Suite as you tried before..

N8 - Downloaded OVI maps won't work offline

I have recently downloaded two map sets, so they could help me find my way outside my homecity. Since I downloaded them, I expected to have them available even without a network, simply because there's no network in many places I go to.
However, I can't check my position or the streets or such if I have no network. Is this how OVI Maps is supposed to work? Online only?

@tuxette
If you are without network access so Assisted GPS cannot be utilised, you are totally dependent upon Integrated GPS positional method and due to compromises in GPS antenna size/position within candybar form of N8 this may be unsatisfactory; ironically the E7 a similar Symbian S^3 has been reported as being better in this respect than N8.
You could find that using only Integrated GPS (found in Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning methods) that it takes 20 - 30 minutes outside away from tall buildings to establish first positional fix, although subsequently it would be easier.
Although no longer officially supported by Nokia there is nothing to stop you enabling Bluetooth GPS and utilising a Bluetooth GPS receiver, although this rather defeats the object and compatibility of said unit can also be an issue.

Just to check that you also removed .qf file?
As a worst case scenario you may need to backup essential data, then reset device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself) which will revert to version of OVI Maps pre-installed in device firmware and start upgrading again.

NO more OVI Maps 3.00 for E63 - support removed!

Why Nokia removed support for map 3.00 on e63 with newest firmware?! I used Maps 3.0 without any trouble but now i can only use Maps 2.0! That's unfair!

One of the disadvantages of upgrading your firmware is the device returns to Nokia Maps 2.
Easily fixed:
http://static.s2g.gate5.de/nokiamaps-client/nokia_maps_3.01_09wk44_b01_s60_3.1_lm_rom.sis
1) Connect your phone in Mass Storage mode.
2) Save that file onto your phone.
3) Disconnect phone.
Locate file with phone's File Manager.
Install the application onto your phone with your phone.

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 Maps 3 - taken offline by Nokia for N97?

Pretty interesting now...
http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download-maps
I can't find the N97 in there anymore.
What happened?

The following statement was released RE: the removal of Maps 3.0 for N97:
The Ovi Maps 3.0 version for touch devices (Nokia N97) is temporarily not available via the Nokia Software Update and www.nokia.com/maps website as we are making adjustments to further improve the overall maps and navigation experience. We are certain that the application will be back in Nokia Software Update and www.nokia.com/maps website shortly where consumers can easily upgrade to the new version of Ovi Maps.
Cheers
Although i work for Nokia, my opinions are my own!

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. ^_^

Free ovi Maps problem

Once again Nokia has exceded themselves in the field of ridiculousness:
I cannot download ovi maps OTA via software update on my phone and I have looked on the nokia website but cannot find a download for my laptop so I can install via USB.
I have an n97 with the newest software... please help.
(On another note, does anyone know why my n97 doesn't respond to any button/screen presses from time to time after unlocking screen? Any fixes?)

Hi, only way to get maps update is to go to nokia maps on phone browser and download N97 mini version ( it works perfectly) but it will take up about 9 meg of space on C. New version will be with V2.1 update when it arrives.
Good Luck

[INFO TIPS] How to survive with Ovi Maps 3.0 insta...

Quick info tips. I wanna made this post earlier but I was on few days trip so didn't have a chance... but it's good coz I was tested GPS in real touristic environment.
I'm from Europe so I don't know how all links posted below will be works for people outside Europe.
My hardware: E63 with latest firmware + external GPS module LD-4W
Everything what we do here, we do with phone connected to the PC via USB cable in PC Suite mode and with fully battery charged.
If you have Maps 2.0, everything works well for you and you payed for any of licences - better stay with that version and don't touch Ovi Maps 3.0. Waste of time and nerves.
1. Please make phone data backup in PC Suite. Please make data backup of your memory card.
2. Check if you have firmware upgrade for your phone (click on some icon in PC Suite). But if you have cracked Symbian and you using cracked software better stay away from firmware upgrade. There's new cracking method for newest firmwares, ask Google. I don't use it, I'm clean. If you have new firmware - update the phone.
3. Download MapLoader - http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download-maps/map-loader Do fresh install or update old MapLoader
4. Bluetooth MUST BE turn in phone. Why? Ask Nokia. -_- Just kidding but unfortunately it's not funny. Without Bluetooth Ovi Maps 3.0 installed in next step (6.) is crazy as hell. Application is completly unusable, skipping, switching... one big hell on the screen. I don't know how it looks like in phones with build in GPS module.
5. Download Ovi Maps 3.0 - http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download-maps and update with this installer old Maps 2.0 in the phone.
6. Run Ovi Maps 3.0 and allow to download via Internet connection in your phone (wifi, gsm, 3g) some portion of initial data - 300 or 400kB - something like that, up to 1MB maximum then disconnect from Internet. It's needed to save some file (I don't remember name) and make structure of catalogues on memory card.
7. Leave Ovi Maps 3.0 and run MapLoader. This application is one big pain in **bleep**. Sometimes doesn't see your phone, sometimes doesn't recognize correctly your memory card size (when you are finished downloading your map/s data that stupid soft can say to you "you don't have" or something like that)... horrible! If something goes wrong - try restart your PC and phone then connect again via USB cable - still in PC Suite mode.
8. When luckily you have maps on your phone, try to pair your phone with your GPS module via Bluetooth or turn on build in module in other models (I think it works like that?).
9. When you will be look out for licence for walk navigation... you cannot find it. You can see only your region name (in my case it was Europe) and you have an option to buy... licenses for drivers. ROTFL! Licence for walk navigation is "hidden option". You must go here - http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/maps-support/how-to/how-to--use-map... - it's mini FAQ how to obtain it.
What I see, there's NO MORE free trial licenses in Maps v3.0 You must pay from day one. I buyed that licence for walk navigation for 10,12E (10 euro 12 euro cents) and it's not time restricted - looks like lifetime, ofc for the phone that you use (I think). Other licenses (for drivers) are time restricted (30 days and up as I remember).
Everything works fine for me. I was over 220km away from my hometown in awesome town Wrocław and Ovi Maps 3.0 helps me A LOT with navigation and searching for monuments in this town.

Ad. 1) "...Please make data backup of your memory card."
Because maybe you must be format memory card for proper maps installation (instead upgrade from Ovi Maps 3.0 installation level old installed maps from v2.0).

Ovi map of C5 is not completed.

My friend have one E71, The city's ovi map is good. Please fix it for Nokia C-5. Thanks!

Hi Tony2050
Welcome to the forum!
Sorry for being pedantic but would be helpful to post whether C5-00, C5-01 or C5-03 as two are S60 3rd Ed FP2 using mapset 0.1.25.114 the same as E71 and one S60 5th Ed. which may possibly be using latest 0.2.42.122 that is causing these issues.

Route tracking with Ovi Maps without internet conn...

I have been trying to find an app, which would track my route without connecting to the internet. This is important in two cases: 1. when there is no service (in the mountains, for instance) 2. when it is prohibitively expensive (like abroad). It is great that I can download Ovi Maps for any location in the world, but I cannot really use it as every app that I know is trying to connect. I found one app, which came close, Parking 2. It does use Ove Maps and one would think that you can track back your car looking at the pre-loaded maps, but this is not the case. It still connects and then loads the maps (which are already pre-loaded on the phone!). And if there is no connection, there are no maps.
Does anyone know of a free or paid app, which can do exactly that: track your route based on the pre-loaded Ovi Maps without connecting to the net?
Thank you in advance for any info
Solved!

@optiplex - I Understand where you are coming from. It sounds fairly simple. Unfortunately, the maps that ovi has for places like ladakh and other places in the Himalayas are fairly featureless. There are no contours on the map for where the terrain is mountainous. For instance, I have planned an expedition in the Tsomoriri - Peldo - Skarchyu sector. The Terrain ranges from 15000 ft to 22000 + ft. Straight line just aint gonna work. If the map were bit more detailed then I could actually set way points to the destination and then work one way point at a time. Unfortunately, while I am happy that the GPS on N8 works wonderfully well without GPRS/3G or any cellular network, the ovi maps are a let down, in that they are not very detailed. (not talking about cities and towns and not referring to drive navigation at all which according to me works beautifully.)

1. OVI Maps and Sport Tracker does not need Internet connection if you did the setting correctly.
2. Sport Tracker will record your trail. The trail can be shown on the Sport Tracker maps. The trail record can also be exported out as KML file and on the PC screen, display the trail on Google Earth.
Unfortunately, I don't think you can use the trail record to guide you back to your starting position while in the mountain.
So how about this method using OVI maps.
1. Set your Walk navigation to "Straight Line" instead of "Street".
2. Record your starting position as a Favorite on OVI Maps.
3. Walk into the mountain.
3. Use OVI Maps to navigate back to your starting position by selecting "Walk to". OVI maps will show how far and the built in compass will show you which direction is your starting position.
Not sure whether this is what you needed.
