E7, belle & Nokia Maps & Navigation

I have an issue with the maps application which has only become apparent following the upgrade to Belle. When I search for a place by postcode, touch the tick, the application searches for and displays the location. If I then try to save this location in favorites by typing a friendly name at the text entry line and then touch the tick to save it the display cycles back to "save as" again. Once here this loop continues ad infinitum. What is the correct way of adding a destination to the navigation app without getting stuck in this save as loop? Will this buggette be fixed in a future update to either Nokia Maps or Belle?

Licences are now 30 and 90 days plus a full year, I believe this is effective from Maps 2.0 onwards.

Costs of Nokia Maps Navigation

License costs for Drive (turn-by-turn) UK navigation using Nokia Maps (v3) appears to be €6.49 per 30 days, or €59 for 12 months. Yet you can buy symbian versions of third-party GPS nabvigation software (e.g. Garmin XT or Navigon MobileNavigator) for a one off cost of around £60.
Probably I am missing something here ... is there a need to pay subscriptions on Garmin/Navigon, or is using Nokia Maps just a very expensive option?

I guess that this another case of 'horses for courses' ...
the Nokia maps model is very flexible, if as in timppu's example, you use a 30-day license to cover driving on vacation etc. However it seems that third-party approaches might be cheaper for longer-term intermittent use, if one is prepared not regularly purchase updated maps from Garmin (or whoever) and drive on last years maps.
On reflection my needs for SatNav turn-by-turn driving instructions are so occasional and intermittent that I might do better to buy daily or monthly licenses as required.
Many thanks for your comments

Nokia Maps Navigation Charges

Nokia/Ovi Maps is now completely free for some the latest models. Click this link for the list of phones with free navigation.
For the older and unsupported models, charges are as follows:
Firstly there is no charge to use nokia maps to locate you position and to download any maps you want. So all map updates are absolutely free.
You will however have to pay for navigation if you wish to get turn by turn instructions. There are various rates for navigation. You can buy a single country or regions (eg. western Europe) for different durations such as a week, a month, a year etc.
Since March 2010 navigation licenses are now only available for regions only and regional license charges have been substantially reduced to a very reasonable €9.99 for a 1 year license, and for those short breaks and holiday abroad, you could get the 1 month license for the region you are visiting for €1.99. These are approximate prices and do vary a little between the various regions.
Also see
http://europe.nokia.com/support/search?comp=Maps%2C+Nokia+Here+and+Now&cat=support&page=1&qt=costs&c...
There could also be associated network charges if you choose to go online and use AGPS when navigating. Network charges can be avoided by pre-loading your required map data to your phone using Nokia Map Loader or Ovi Suite and disabling Assisted GPS and network based.

Licences are now 30 and 90 days plus a full year, I believe this is effective from Maps 2.0 onwards.

Nokia Maps Suite 2.0

I've just used Nokia Suite to install Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 on a N8 running Belle. I had been reading about it here: http://blog.maps.nokia.com/nokia-maps/download-nokia-maps-suite-on-your-nokia-belle-device#more-1929...
(When the installation said less than a minute left, it actually took much longer, around six minutes. I was worried the program had crashed, so I tried to start it on my phone anyway, and right after that, the installation completed.)
According to the version information on the phone, I now have:
   Version v3.09 12wk09 b05
   MW OpenGL MN
   Map version 0.2.45.110
I've got a few questions - the very first one being whether there is a document posted somewhere explaining how to use the new software? Or, is it to be trial and error on my part?
Next, I accidentally created a new "favorite" while trying things out - I can delete it by going to my favorites list, and doing a long-press on that favorite, to bring up the box with "delete". Should I be able to delete favorites on the main Maps page as well? I think that's how I used to do it ages ago.
I did a search for a local bagel restaurant, and eventually found it. I clicked on the little "i" (for information?) at the right side of the listing, and got their street address. Should I also have gotten their phone number? It would be nice if not only the phone number showed up, but if I could click on it to call them.
From the website about the program listed above:
"For our UK users, new Voice Search lets you get directions simply by speaking, so you can now navigate hands-free! Tap on the microphone icon next to the search box and speak your destination. Voice Search will be available for more countries and languages soon." Is this included in what I just downloaded, and will it work in the USA and India?
Finally, I read something in this forum posted recently: "If you're still having issues trying the latest beta version from here should fix the issue: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-maps-suite "    Is this version even newer than the one I just downloaded? Which do you recommend? Can you explain the differences?
First impressions are very positive. The list we put together for Bell problems/issues can be found here: /t5/Software-Updates/List-of-Belle-additions-corrections-needed/td-p/1328167/page/5 . The issues for previous versions of maps were:
MAPS-- Ability to delete or edit map favorites from Drive (can be done from Maps).
MAPS-- Re-enable the auto/Bluetooth connection to work with Nokia Maps Navigation.Camera & video
MAPS-- Re-enable the auto/Bluetooth connection to work with Nokia Maps Navigation
MAPS-- Return the English "surfer dude" voice to Voice Navigation on the N8.
MAPS-- Not possible to delete maps history.
MAPS-- provide a simple and convenient method to import and export GPS coordinates
MAPS-- Map widget doesn't support rotation with fingers
MAPS-- No backup ability for map favorites without going on-line
I'm hoping when some of us test these in the new version, we'll be able to mark them as "solved"

Well, my suggestions are as follows:
Backup -
As to GPS, I when the phone displays the information about a "favorite", the GPS co-ordinates should be displayed right there.
I will have to test the other way as well - there should be a way to enter the GPS co-ordinates of a place you're interested in. I did that years ago before even Anna was released, and it was very handy. GPS co-ordinates are a "standard", a "universal" way of describing a location.
It's nice that the software can do all the things it does with the internet/cloud, but that should all be in addition to the basic ways of doing it, not instead of. ....at least that's my opinion.
I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow - will have several days to work with the new Maps software, and see what I think. First impressions are mostly good! ...and thanks for your help!
Points taken on backup. I don't actually use backups much myself preferring to copy files manually. What could be an idea for Nokia Suite is to be able to define additional filetypes or folders to be syncd.
Agreed that display of lat/long would be useful on the favorite page, in fact I would go further and wish for the coordinates to also be displayed in 'local' coordinate systems as well.
You can search by lat/long (eiter as DMS or decimal degrees) as shown in the attachment. Again I would like it to go further as I would prefer to have been able to search for the point i used as 'SP 487 169'. Incidentally I tried the same lat/long coordinate search with google maps, on the N8 and my android tablet, and found that rather than it returning the point i was searching for it decided to choose a nearby address, so in terms of searching Nokia is way ahead.
Hope you have a god trip and maps proves useful. Since getting the N8 I have completly given up using my dedicated satnav and gps recievers, as well as compact camera.

According to nokia maps , half my city is on water

i'm using a 6110 navigator with the latest nokia maps for navigation around Alexandria, Egypt. according to nokia maps a great part of the city, although showing streets and names is on water. in other words the map design shows blue water underneath a great part of the city's costal line with streets and complete blocks of buildings shown to exist on water.
this disturbing visual problem exist in the newest egypt map "8.1 Mb". has anyone else noticed this???
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

I sent my N97 (RM-507) off to the NokiaUSA care center a few weeks ago for the GPS antenna shielding fix.
This past week I updated to v20 firmware, did a hard reset and reinstalled all applications from scratch, including the Maps for the USA.
I'm running Nokia Maps 3.01 09wk30 b02
and Maps data version 0.1.22.103
Testing the GPS this morning....outside, no obstructions, clear blue sky....I get 5-9 green bars on the satellite fix, but my position keeps jumping around (including the altitude per Locations) and is 30-40 yards EAST of my actual position relative to the map background.
Using the Search function to locate my actual numeric address, the Maps application puts that about 30-40 yards WEST of the background indication based on the map background.
Thus the total map accuracy is 60-80 yards off EAST/WEST in terms of displayed position versus numerical address!!!
For comparison, I ran a test using Google Maps and allowed it to use the N97's GPS. Not surprising, it located my position quickly and accurately within about 8-10 yards, though it did continuing moving a bit but never more than about 2-3 yards at a time.
I am running out of patience with Nokia. The N97 has been out since July 2009 and their Maps software and GPS drivers are probably the worst that I've ever seen in terms of accuracy and stability.
I hear of others using Garmin software on their N97, but until I'm certain beyond a shadow-of-a-doubt that the N97's GPS hardware is stable, accurate and dependable I really don't want to spend the extra money for a 3rd party program and I definitely won't be spending any money on Nokia Map navigation license.

Nokia 6220 - GPS,Maps,Navigation Question

This may be a silly question but I'm a little confused over this
I am considering buying a 6220 (SIM free), mainly because it's an 'upgraded' version to my existing 6300.
The idea is instead of having a SAT NAV (for the occasional trips to places I've never been before) & a mobile phone & a MP3 player etc - I get an all-in-one in a small package
Now to the question - What is the difference between 'Nokia Maps' and 'Navigation' ?.
Apparently 'Nokia Maps' is free but 'Navigation' isn't
Am I right in assuming that 'Nokia Maps' only shows you where you are & Where you want to go BUT doesn't give constant updates as you drive/walk between the 2 - a bit like if you have a map & ask a passerby to shows you where you are & where you want to go on the map - but doesn't tell you how to get there (you have to figure it out yourself)
BUT 'Navigation' is where you can have it in the car & it tells you the directions ('take next left'/'3rd right at next roundabout' etc) each step of the way i.e. Just like a Car 'SAT-NAV' equivalent
I don't like the idea of paying for a 'satnav/phone/media player' combi-device then paying EXTRA so that you can use it as a SAT-NAV, especially if you only going to use it maybe once or twice in a year.

I think I have worked out what is going on here...
I hard reset my N95, installed the maps fresh (which took a very long time, but that is a different subject, so I won't get going on that)
I then checked if I could do full 7 digit postcode search while at home and still no, with "Network Use" set to "Never"
However, I have now come into the office, defined the wlan acess point (mine is broken at home) and set "Network Use" to "when needed" and I can do full 7 digit postcode search. If I then change that setting to "never" it reversts back to truncating the postcode.
I would appreciate if other N95 owners could confirm that this happens on their N95 too, and if so, it looks like maps is pulling additional info from somewhere to enchance the downloaded map.
You seem to be right. I cleared all the maps, then downloaded the maps for England using maploader and tested it. With network connection you can do full postcode search, but as soon as the internet connection is lost or turned off the system reverts back to truncating the postcode.
If you use the route planner while you have the network connection you can use the full postcode to set the destination point while having the GPS position as your starting point and the destination point gets stored as your destination.

Carrying out three finger reset upon Symbian S^3 device can still have repercussions and not to be undertaken lightly. Are there any issues with Nokia unified sign-in such as Nokia Store as well as Nokia Maps?
Certainly no issues with synchronising in Maps applicvation:

Navigation with Nokia Maps crash (N95 8Gb)

Hi All.
Does anyone have this problem, when the Nokia Maps start Navigation and is calculation route, Crash !
Thanks,

Here's my brand new, maps crashing issue; For some bizzare reason, I thought I'd try to use a-gps. I've always had pretty good luck with the thing syncing but it could be better.
I recently came to Germany and got a MOBI (vodafone) sim card and I set vodafone live as my provider. It didn't seem to be any faster so I went into setting, (in maps) and tried to turn it off.
The problem is; I can't. When I go into Maps settings and click on Network, it shuts off Maps or reboots the phone. Now, whenever I turn on maps, it logs onto vodafone and burns off all of my credit in about 5 minutes...and I can't turn it off and I can't use maps without using all of my expensive credit.
It's really **bleep** me off. This is the first software issue I've had with this thing and I have no idea how to solve it. I've gone into Tools>General>Positioning methods and only have Integrated gps checked but it's still logging on.
It's a real pain. If I could remember my lock code, I'd reset everything to default.
Any idea...?
Thanks

[Nokia Maps] Unable to purchase navigation feature

On My E90, I tried several times to upgrade to "voice navigation" but failed. That was what I did as the followings:
1. [Options] -> [Extra services] -> Add navigation
2. [Accept] the terms and conditions
3. [Purchase] "Navigation upgrade"
4. The unusual part began :
4.1. Select region "Taiwan" then the application crashed and back to desktop
4.2. Select region "Taiwan/China/Hong Kong/Macau" then it shows "Please enter your personal license code, which you received at the time of purchase" and an input field labeled "CD" which you are able to key-in a license code in format "nnnn-nnnn-nnnn". Of course, I dunno what to do and stop here.
According to the official information -
Nokia Europe - Nokia Maps - Voice-guided Navigation
http://europe.nokia.com/A4509359
There should be a screen w/ license-type selection then I will able to choose the payment method and finish the process. But unfortunately I just unable to see one. Anyone could help please?

This is strange as I usually find wifi to be the better connection to use. It is also free as opposed to paying network data charges on 3g. Anyway, the main thing is you got it to work.
Truly! I am glad it finally work properly too. I applied an fixed price package of my 3.5G network that provide unlimited packets transmission on a monthly subscription fee, that's why I just let my E90 stay on the mode instead of WiFi.
Anyway, I think the problem is not due to the connection method but the service/application itself. Before I could purchase the navigation feature of region "Taiwan", tried some other regions and one of it "triggered" the "Update" procedure. That is the first time I saw it happen which gimme a hint, so I go back to region "Taiwan" and it got an "Update" too. Finally, everything worked. Dunno if it is a tip but I think it might help if someone just meet same problem as me.

Nokia 6210 Navigator - which version of Nokia maps...

Hi !
I`ve tried to upgrade my Nokia 6210 Navigator from Nokia maps 2.0 to Ovi maps 3.01 but it
doesn´t seems to work.
If i try to upgrade it with the old Nokia map updater it just says: Cannot get enough information about the phone unspecified error
Can anyone tell me if this is possible.
I also get a error message when i try to use this file that ovikovi posted (http://static.s2g.gate5.de/nokiamaps-client/nokia_ maps_3.01_09wk44_b01_s60_3.1_lm_rom.sis)
The error massage that shows up in the phone is: It doesn´t work to install this file, the unit is built in!
And in Ovi Suite it says: The file is in use. Another application is using nokia_ maps_3.01_09wk44_b01_s60_3.1_lm_rom.sis
I´ve also tried to uninstall the version og Nokia maps that is installed on the phone but that doesn´t seems to be an option !
Any one who has a clue of something that can solve my problem.
Best regards.

Cost of Navigation Use Nokia Maps

Hi there,
I am a proud owner of a Nokia 5800 and I am trying to understand the way navigation works. Ik have a question about using Nokia Maps. The question is about the costs.
I can find 4 options of positioning:
- Assisted GPS
- Integrated GPS
- Bluetooth GPS
- based on network
I don't use Bluetooth GPS. I have checked Integrated GPS. Because I do not have a data subscription I would like my navigation to be completely free. I know that Assisted GPS does uses data. What I am not able to find on the internet is whether the option "based on network" is free of charges or not.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks a lot in advance for the answer!

Hi Michel, this is the response I recently received to my 'cost' enquiry - navigating on Ovi maps is free of charge. However, once you start to search for a place, computing for your exact location this will be the time that you will be charged by your network provider because of data transfer, i.e. whether you use the OVI on the computer or use your mobile out and about it ain't for free! Bundchen
You were given false information.
Points Of Interest and Places can be looked up 100% free. Rather, it's some basic settings in each phone that need to be disabled to be used 100% free of network costs.
See this topic for more information:
/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Is-Ovi-Maps-Navigation-really-free/m-p/779533
The GPS chips in phones are usually very insensitive, so they have to use these silly tricks to make them work better. Disabling these 'silly tricks' will definitely stop them but a bluetooth GPS unit for your phone doesn't need these tricks (and neither do dedicated GPS units) because they have great sensitivity and just communicate with the GPS satellites as they should, quickly and reliably.
That being said, switching to Satellite or Terrain map views in the software will request internet access, as will other features. Ignoring these things and just using the software as a regular GPS unit will allow you to use the maps and navigation and address and points-of-interest look-up without any costs whatsoever. So even if you are pre-paid, you won't get a cent taken from you.
The major problem is the poor GPS in phones being reliant on these extra features that use the network.

Nokia Maps / Ovi Maps Installer

Hi All,
I heard that we were now able to get maps and navigatoin for free, is this correct? I have a n95 and when I go to use the navigation feature in Nokia Maps (just updated it), it says that navigation is a premium service and that I have to pay for it.
I thought there might be a new program available so I tried to install Ovi Maps from the Ovi Store on the phone but it just gets to "preparing to install" and then says "Update Error" and quits.
I have tried reinstalling the firmware but get the same response. Does anybody know what is going on, have I missed something?
Thank you.

Hi Gregorycharper,
As your phone is a S60 5th edition, I believe that the last stable release of Nokia Maps was 3.06. Versions afterwards like 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09 were solely for Symbian^3 devices running Symbian^3, Symbian Anna and Nokia Belle: http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-07/download_and_installation I'm not too sure if 3.06 graduated from Beta Labs into Nokia Store, but you can always check Nokia Store for the latest version listed there.
Yes, you could always switch your SIM card and memory card with your son's phone if you believe it is a software issue, or that it is a hardware issue. Likewise, checking the Maps data and installations when your phone is connected to your computer in Nokia Suite. Apart from Nokia Suite and Nokia Maps on the Nokia website to download the installation files, there is not really any other place to source the installation files.
Hope this helps.

Nokia Maps Updates after January 1 2014?

hi there,
as i still love the X7 (Symbian belle refresh) maps and navigation much more than that of my Lumia 620. I wonder if there will be updates of the maps after january 1?
Thanks if anyone understands more what the news mean for the updates of the maps.
regards,
X7Fan

What it will remain from Nokia once they will be bought by Microsoft? Who will keep update Symbian Maps?
If they will stop update Symbian Maps, Stephen Elop's malefic hand will lost Nokia Symbian customers for good...
IMHO, we will depend on Microsoft... And, probably, they will give a s..t about us, Symbian users. Like Elop/Microsoft does about Nokia.

Nokia Maps 3.0 freeze on N95

Hi!
Just a quick question, I installed Nokia Maps 3.0 Beta on my N95 (RM-159) and it loads fine, the maps, it gets the position but then the application freezes for some unknown reason, I googled a bit but no one seems to have found a solution does one even exist or should I stick to using Garmin and just delete Nokia Maps to preserve my nerves ?

Unfortunately Beta version uses too much of phone resources and probably not enough free memory to run it.
Sadly, the release version also seems to use a huge amount of phone resources, often closing whether I have other apps (such as the Nokia E-mail client) running on my N95-1 or not, on occasions it has even forced a restart of the phone.
Generally however, once a route has been created and navigation has been started it performs admirably.
Now if Nokia can sort out the following we'll all be a bit happier:
The annoying downloading of large amounts of map data despite a full set of maps being stored on the phone
The map categories are missing plenty of items that were present in Maps 2.0 (Leisure centers are an obvious omission, they are listed as Outdoor sports or not at all)
