Frequency / Accuracy of map updates, and who is re...

I was wondering who is responsible for updating the maps that are pushed out by Nokia to handsets through Ovi etc. As in, is there a company that does road surveys to make sure that new roads are included or how does Nokia acquire this information?
The reason I ask is that there are new motorways in my area for the past year (or so) and they are not on Ovi maps yet. It seems like a long time to wait for updates seeing as they are major road upgrades. On the way to Cork also there is a large section of the N8 which is not on the map (which incidentally made me late for a funeral last week because I ended up missing a turn off over it).
Can anyone answer this? The maps service is excellent otherwise and the fact that it is free is outstanding, but this little issue has been bugging me for ages!
Thanks!

farby: The Maps are developed by Navteq.. and on an average updated every quarter..
So it used to be. But now it is almost half a year since the maps (used by OviMaps 3.03 and 3.04) were last updated.
I wonder if Nokia has dropped the support for older phones although they promised free updates.

Nokia Maps Update and Maploader v1.2 released

Hi all
At long last and as expected released today available from:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4509291
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Worked it out. Uninstall the existing application, restart the phone, install the new (N73) version then restart the phone. All the maps are gone and it starts a map update (data connection). You need to wait for it to dowload the maps before you try anything or it crashes.
I guess you could start the application, say no to update, close the application, use Map Loader (if you can get through a proxy) to download your maps and the start the application again.
BTW, it does retain any landmarks you had saved.

Nokia maps updated and after a soft reset..

After I installed the nokia maps suite update, I decided to do a soft reset on my n8. I'm always using nokia pc suite to install apps, maps, voice files and software updates. But now, I can't update my maps via nokia suite. I'm using the latest stable nokia suite (not beta) I also tried to restore but it's a no go.

What's the error it's giving when you try to update the maps? I assume it's just the regional map data you're trying to get, and the app is on your phone OK.
Have you run the maps application on your phone? On first start it has to create some directories, only after it's done this can you install maps and languages.
Also might be worth trying the latest beta from here if you're still having issues: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-maps-suite it does say one of the fixes is a maploader download issue.... this may be exactly what you need!

UK map update causing apps to crash

I updated the UK map this morning on my Nokia 520. Now both the Here Maps and Here Drive apps crash after loading. I have reinstalled the apps and rebooted the phone but the problem persists. Here Maps still works with other downloaded maps, e.g. Turkey.

I'm still having a problem after downloading the recent UK offline map update. Whenever I get directions, it plots a route to the destination but still carries on wih the 'getting directions...' loading bar and the app crawls to a halt.
If I delete the offline map the app works fine, so it's down to the the map update and possibly the fact I have a Nokia 720, what is now classed as a low memory device.
I'd rather have the offline map installed to save data if possible.

Maps Updater - IMEI # cannot be obtained

E71-2(236.03)
200.21.118

After downloading and installing the Nokia Maps Updater (and removing Beta versions of 3.0) I have an error;
Cannot update licenses
Missing phone info: IMSI or IMEI cannot be obtained
I found this forum post that directs people to work with the company for license and as I filled in the form they asked for my IMEI by typing *#60# onto home screen. This did not work, but as you can see from the info at start of post other functions like *#0000# do still work.
http://betalabs.nokia.com/forum/topic/3186
Is this a phone issue or is the software not requesting correctly to retrieve the IMEI?

I'm glad we are on the same version, however my point is I upgraded a week before the release to a beta version and this is the same version you and I have so no update has happened from a beta version to the "final" version. I am surprised at this, as why put out a beta if you are only going to release it as final? A beta implies there are issues that need resolving and that does not appear to have happened for the last version.
I am not complaining, just curious, as I do like ovi maps and speed and performance have improved over the versions. For another topic I only think they need to improve the search functionality as I compare it to Google maps and I can search by a typing an address within one click (Ovi takes multiple clicks or uses fields for specific info).

Hello:
What is y3.online.sec.update and why/who is this trying to call me/message me via my skype?
Normally if there is an official skype security update/fix it is automatic when I log in so is this some type of phishing scam? I blocked the contact.

My iTunes got deleted off my computer before I had updated my iPhone!! When I downloaded it again all my app purchases and songs were gone!!! Is there anyway apple can help get them back and who can I contact???

My iTunes got deleted off my computer before I had updated my iPhone. When I reinstalled it everything was gone! I lost all my itune purchased apps and songs!! Is there anyway apple can help me get them back??? And who can I contact?? Please help I really need my music back!!

It has always beenv ery basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to backup, then you can redownload some content. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links

HT6147 Why haven't they done a patch for those of us who have not updated and prefer to use iOS 6?

Totally agree with Andy. Apple needs to support its users whether or not they decide to update to iOS 7.
The reviews from i Pad 3 owners (like me) is that when they've updated to iOS 7 they've experienced latency and sluggishness. Why would I ruin a perfectly good iPad by updating to iOS 7?
Please let me know where I can find a patch for iOS 6.
Thanks!

Since I upgraded to IOS 7.0.2, many times I am unable to answer the calls. Then I have to switch off and on to answer the calls. I checked with my three friends who updated and they are also facing same problem. Kindly let me know the solution.

Since other millions of people updated and do not have that problem - it means one of two.
1.Your friends lied to you and do not have that problem and in that case only your installation of ios7 got corrupted and you need to restore your phone.
2.Your friends didn't lie to you and all 4 of you need to restore phones (that way reinstalling ios 7 properly)
here are instructions for restore and you may have to backup before restore.

I'm on my iPad, so I don't know if this is the page with an actual download. I don't see a button, but assume that is because I am on an iPad. It is in the DL section of Apple downloads.

Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Try here first > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
If you can't resolve the issue on your own, call Apple or schedule a call > Apple - Support - Solutions
Keep in mind, this is a user to user forum. You are not communicating directly with Apple here. No one here can fix your Apple iD.

You cannot downgrade the iOS, there is no supported method.
Google streetview was not lost, Google Maps were removed from iOS6 and replaced with Apple Maps.
