My n8 ovi maps navigation - is Completley unreliab...

I was trying my new n8 ovi maps , navigating in Lithuania, before going on our family annual caravan summer trip.
This proved to be a catastrophe. The software is copleteley unreliable, and in fact , the worst navigation software I ever tried. Here are some of the issues:
1. Navigation uses unpaved roads as default choice , even if I choose "no" on preferences.
2. routs are often proven completely false, often misleading the user to dead ends or no road at all. This happens almost every time when traveling outside of the capital - Vilnius.
3. Browsing the map on chosen rout during navigation is quite difficult and not useful.
4. Addresses search is not practical , since it usually ask for exact address, and spelling mistakes are not recognized otherwise there are no results. This is very important when traveling abroad.
I was very disappointed , because the main reason I bought N8 , was of the promises for free navigation . We are planning to go on a trip within 2 weeks , and I don't know what to do.
is there any other good compatible navigation program ?
can you solve these problems?
are these problems confined to Lithuania only (hard to believe)?

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! :-)

@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.

OVI MAPS NAVIGATION EXPIRED

I am trying to renew my navigation licence for my N95 8GB. Keep getting "try later". Is there anything I should know - is OVI maps navigation still working for my old but totally reliable and much loved phone.
Solved!

@bbao back in July 2014, Nokia created a FAQ article, stating the discontinuation of paid Nokia Maps licences. There was no reason given. Obviously, that statement was wrong in parts. With the end of HERE support through Nokia (now ‘Microsoft Mobile’), they removed that FAQ article. ‘Therefore’, this link is broken now.

Is it no longer an issue today?
Well, it is an issue in parts:
Certificate Warning
to workaround, install Nokia » Menu » Internet » traud.de/ta » intermediates » VeriSign …
transferring a licence to another SIM does not work for me, anymore
Please, do not even try! You are going to loose your lifetime licence for walking (City Explorer).
Nokia Maps » Options » Shop & licences: Does not update, anymore
buying any new licence does not work for me, anymore
All you can do is to renew an already bought region licence.
You need to start a journey (‘drive there’). Then, when you have a GPS lock and after 30 seconds, only then, you are able to renew your navigation licence for driving.

Ovi map navigation crashes on E71

I have installed ovi maps on my E71. However, it crashes everytime within a minute of starting the navigation. Voice navigation will give the first instruction and then the E71 crashes to a dimmed white screen with the Nokia logo on it. The phone is not useable without a reboot. Any ideas?
JJOe

Presumably you have Nokia_maps_3.03_10wk11_b04_s60_3.1_rom.Nocs.sis
available from here installed? http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-e71/
If you don't have this version with free voice navigation, it will crash without a license.
Otherwise try deleting E:\CITIES + .qf file, re-launch OVI Maps application on device to re-define necessary folder structure to utilise OVI Suite > Maps on your PC to re-download regional mapping.

Positioning Server on 5800 Ovi Maps

I keep getting the following message when using the new Ovi Maps Navigation - Connection to network positioning server required. Costs may be incurred. If I say no then I can continue and get the free navigation as advertised, but is there any way of stopping this message coming up?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

MENU -> Apps -> Location -> Positioning Server (turn to DISABLED)
Settings -> Connectivity -> Destinations ->
1. Remove the STREAMING profile permanently by deleting the setting from telco.
2. In the INTERNET section remove all the telco settings.
3. In the MULTIMEDIA section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G MMS only and delete permanently the rest of it.
4. In the WAP SERVICES section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G WAP only and delete permanently the rest of it.
Note: screenshot settings may vary from service providers, above is applicable for one of the Malaysian telco
The reason you are deleting the unwanted settings is a special cause which you will overcome the credit drain issue.

Nokia OVI Maps Online & Offline Map Searching Issue
1. Setup your WiFi setting.
2. Verify the WiFi functionality (browse some web page).
3. Set the WiFi as 1st priority inside the destination (internet) setting.
4. Set the WiFi as the default access point (for the internet).
5. Delete the WAP / MMS / STREAMING settings and left the 3G Internet (as 2nd priority inside the internet setting).
6. Edit the 3G internet setting and change the "password prompt" to YES.
7. Load up the maps loader.
8. Click on the delete maps from storage.
9. Reload in the maps (at least the malaysia map must be selected).
10. Load as well the voice guidance file.
11. Wait for all the downloading and uploading finished.
12. Run Location and disable the agps and network under positioning setting.
13. Run the OVI maps.
14. When the 3G internet prompt up select cancel (do not connect) (if it still pop up, suppose wont because we already disable A-GPS and network in Location setting).
15. Go to setting and change the internet to online.
16. Select appropiate voice guidance file.
17. Go outside where more satelite can be search.
18. Now go to my location and wait for the satelite to get a fix (might be take long since no agps)
19. Make sure the red dot are "IN MALAYSIA".
20. Change maps mode as SATELITE view to try the WiFi can download the satelite image (to ensure WiFi is working).
21. Once confirm WiFi working switch back to maps view.
22. Walk around and you will see the GPS is working already (since it already lock, red dot will turn SOLID RED and satellite bar should be green).
The most useful for the 3G internet password prompt when agps and network positioning enable:
1. Select YES during the password prompt you will have A-GPS (fast lock with charges).
2. Select CANCEL during the password prompt you will have full I-GPS (slow lock but FOC).
Steps 18 and 19 are needed because sometime during the first time OVI maps run it will set it "previous' location as some where maybe not within Malaysia and if this happen and you dont have those location maps downloaded in the database then it will direct download from the internet and who know which access point it gonna use (if it use 3G internet then you will lost lots of phone credits for those huge maps data), confirm this if you dont have the maps data install it will direct download the file.
Below is a screenshot shows, full OFFLINE guide, see the GPS INTERNET connection is striked out:

The method / settings above uses device to GPS satellite connection directyl, therefore please go outdoor for better coordinate locks.

Getting Ovi Maps to go online

Hi, I have a Nokia 5800 which originally was on a T Mobile contract when given to me by a family member but I have changed to Vodaphone. Everything works fine including internet, but when I tried to use the maps program, it says it can't find an internet connection. I think it may be trying to use orignal T Mobile route, but there seems to be no way of altering internet connection it now needs to use under the various settings. I hope that makes sense. Before posting any reply....please take into account I am 45 and mobile phone phobic........

Hi amerkhalil
No apologies needed as your post makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately if your 5800XM is still running T-Mobile firmware it may not be recent enough to allow you to use the latest OVI Maps navigation for free, if you key in *#0000# on standby screen what version is displayed?
Whilst Nokia Maps is running go to Options > Tools > Settings > Internet and what value do you have against "Default access point"? If you press Options > Change - you should be able to choose from the available ones.
Please don't hesitate to post if anything needs further elaboration.

Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation

Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation
Mobile navigation for everyone, the Ovi Maps takes you where you want to be and shows you what you want see, with navigable maps for over 70 countries worldwide. All this with only one click. And it's all free.
- Free Drive navigation
- Free Walk navigation
- Free maps and map updates
- Free Events guides
- Free Lonely Planet guides
- Free Michelin guides
You thought Garmin and TomTom were in trouble when Google announced its free Navigation service? Wait until investors hear Nokia's news.
Reuters is reporting that Nokia will offer free navigation on its smartphones. However, instead of just the US (the current Google limitation sans hacking), Nokia will be demonstrating its reach by offering free turn-by-turn directions in 74 countries and 46 languages - a move that should cover 20 million smartphones globally with Ovi Maps available in over 180 countries.
Update: The original San Francisco Chronicle report has been pulled but Google cache caught a bit more saying that Nokia's navigation service is "capable of operating completely offline" unlike Google Navigation which requires data connectivity.
Update 2: Nokia just made the download link live. Hey, where's the N97 and N900.
Update 3: And it's official. Starting today, Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation is free across the globe. Drivers receive turn-by-turn voice guidance including lane assistance, traffic information (in 10 countries including the US), and safety camera and speed warnings while pedestrians will be guided on shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones in over 100 cities across the globe. It all works offline too, which should extend battery life and keep that navigation humming even while puttering about in data dead zones without racking up international roaming charges (take that, Google). From March 2010, all new Nokia GPS enabled smartphones will come installed with the new Ovi Maps application and pre-loaded with local country map data and walk and drive navigation with access to location-aware Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides at no extra cost. Additional premium guides like a weather service and events / movies are also included. Just 10 devices from Nokia's massive catalog are available today a list that includes the N97 Mini, 5800 XpressMusic, 5800 navigation edition, E52, E55, E72, 5230, 6710 navigator, 6730 classic and X6.

N6110 Navigation don't recognize loaded ovi maps

After reformatting my memory card, I had many troubles. Firstly the restore from pc suite didn't work. I tried to start the card program. I stopped after 50% with an error. After many hours and searching the intranet I could start the card program. It allocated the cities directory on the memory card. After that I could load maps from OVI. The problem is the the navigator software only shows the world card as active. I have 2 more route66 cards license but not active. On route 66 those cards are no more available (product not found).
HOw can I get the Ovi maps recognized in the navigator?
Thanks for your help. I am despaired. The Nokia navigator was the best software I ever have seen.

@N6110
Welcome to the forum!
Presumably as you can no longer utilise Route66 to work on your 6110 Navigator you have decided to install Nokia_Maps_2.0_4503_3.1.sis from http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-6110-...
Ironically although S60 3rd FP1 device it can not run OVI Maps v3.01
Have you got a spare formatted microSD you can insert and then open Nokia Maps application on device to re-initialise application and define folder structure?
In the days when there was a separate Maploader application (no longer works) I seem to remember device was connected in mass storage mode for Nokia Maps, but of course has to be connected in PC Suite mode for OVI Suite to recognise it.

N900 and Voice Navigation / New OVI Maps

s much as I love my N900 it is so frustrating to walk into a T-Mobile store here in the US and find that the simple Nokia Nuron has much newer version of Ovi Maps. While Nokia is busy launching voice navigation for the N97's and such, the N900 is left waiting in the wings. Does anyone have any news regarding when Nokia will again turn their gaze back to what is supposed to be their flagship device?

Not only does Nokia not support Ovi Map downloads on the N900...it also does not support Native Video calls and sending of photos/Video via MMS...sent a note to their support careline..and the reply below was what I received...:-(( This is NOKIA's FLAGSHIP product with 2 cameras and they do not support Video Calls....why launch a product with 2 cameras which does not do Video calls...Hope someone from NOKIA is reading this tread..don't launch products when it is NOT ready .... extreemely dissappointed...might have to consider other brands of phone for my next phone purchase.

N97 - tracking while navigating with Ovi Maps

I would like to be able to save my journeys, to view them in, say, Google Earth, and possibly also to have live tracking available for selected others to view, while I follow a route planned by Ovi Maps.
I have seen various possible applications and am just wondering if any will work reliably on a generic UK N97 under these circumstances.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Check Sporttracker.

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
