N900 Ovi maps search

Hi,
I have a problem: i downloaded latest phone update /20.2010.../ and update the map from ovi suite- should be the last one.
When i got into the software, and try to search a city, always ask me for internet connection, even when the device is full of GPS signal.
I checked , through ovi suite- yes i have yhe latest ovi maps+ latest map.
If i refuse to use wi-fi connection- the search fails.
My question is- how to browse between places, in the map, w/o internet connection?
Thanks.

Anyway you can also try a different map application..
like "Marble" ,'sygic mobile maps' ...

N900 OVI map not available to be download..?

Can I know where to download Nokia N900 OVI map..? Because I search allots of places but I still cannot get the map..Thks..

Hi
The way i did it yesterday, to update and install new maps, was to use the Nokia Ovi Suite on my computer, If you dont have this you can download it from a link on the Nokia site,http://www.nokia.co.uk/support/download-software/ovi-suite
Then simply open Ovi Suite on your computer, connect your N900 via USB, click on Maps on Ovi Suite, select the maps you want and download them,
The system first removes any old maps, then downloads to the computer, then transfers to N900, all very simple, but does take some time depending on how many countries you want to download. you can also add additional maps at any time,
Or you can download from the Ovi site just using your N900
Hope this helps, let me know if you require more

Ovi map search offline problem

Whenever I search for a location offline on my E72, I end up with no results available.
After fiddling with my phone for the better half of a day (including first using online search then turning off the internet to use offline search), I tried deleting all the maps on my memory card and installing only the maps for the areas I need through the OVI suite. Having read earlier threads on this topic, I was sure to wait until the index files were fully transferred.
Now the offline search works, but only for locations within my own city. For locations in the neighboring city, though only a few dozen miles away, I end up again with no results available.
Is this normal or is there any other way I can try fixing it? Thanks.

Hi sherryglass
Unfortunately I think it is also related to size of country, as with world maps on E72 I can do detailed search of UK "Offline" but say for example USA it has to be "Online"; that said access point in OVI Maps application can be via WLAN or network.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

N900 Ovi maps zoom

rotaring clock wise does not zoom in to map. How do I zoon into map?

when you have the maps open, you should have a zoom bar on the right side of you screen. with a + on the top and a - on the bottom. just tap those and there is your zoom.
if you tap the bottom right corner, just like the internet browser, it will give you options.
tap around and learn the product.
hope that helped.

Ovi Maps for E-Series Wish List

I've tried for a while to switch from Google Maps to Ovi Maps, but Ovi Maps is just lacking in too many ways. I thought it would be time to start a wish list and hope that someone out there in Nokia land is reading:
When looking at search results in Map mode, an up or down press on the 4-way key pad moves to the next or last search item. This should allow you to scroll around the map and view the proximity of the search items. It is currently impossible to scroll up or down on the map. Google Maps uses specific keys for forward and back and leaves the 4-way key pad for navigating.
The data base that Ovi Maps searches (ie restaurants, etc) is very limited. I often cannot find what I'm looking for and have to go to Google Maps. In Google, I find what I'm looking for and then have to remember the address to import it into Ovi Maps. Ovi either needs to get a better way of searching the web or needs to figure out a way to import starred items from Google Maps easily.
Ovi Maps can't look inside my own phone at the Contacts for an address. So often I am looking for an address that is in my contacts. It would be great if Ovi Maps could look up a contact. Should be easy, right? Since Nokia wrote the Contacts app and the Ovi Maps app, they should be able to link them easily.
Thanks for reading. Please add to this list as you see fit.

pkreitler wrotevi Maps can't look inside my own phone at the Contacts for an address. So often I am looking for an address that is in my contacts. It would be great if Ovi Maps could look up a contact. Should be easy, right?
Try opening the contact you want in Contacts and then look in Options.

No offline search OVI Maps

Hi,
I am having a problem with my new Nokia 5230. The offline search does not work in OVI Maps. I installed the newest version 3.03 and uploaded the maps of my country (the Netherlands) to the phone. I am able to pick a direction while using the map itself but when i enter an address in the search bar it give the error: no offline results found.
Maps is in offline modus because of my subscription without internet.
tried entering just the streetname, streetname and city, streetname city and country, different streets...
anyone got a solution?
thanks

I am considering buying a Nokia phone here in NZ because it has sat nav, but I wont have a mobile internet connection - so I need it to work in offline mode.
The problem with many phones working properly 100% reliably offline (as a car GPS would) is:
1) the sensitivity of their GPS chips.
2) disabling features in your phone and Nokia Ovi Maps application that would cause it to go online.
Second problem is easily fixed. First problem is more difficult.
The sensitivity of many phone GPS chips makes them very likely to need A-GPS (Assisted GPS) to get a satellite lock in a short amount of time (and for reliable operation). This isn't necessary with dedicated hardware in most circumstances (their sensitivity is generally better than many phones).
I use an external bluetooth receiver (Holux M-1000), which normally gives a satellite lock in about 30 seconds. I would recommend it highly if you wanted to use your phone as a dedicated GPS device and wanted reliable and quick operation without Assisted GPS.

E90, ovi maps (maps 3.0), search functionlity

hi, when i am using ovi maps, then i select 'search', and in search i select 'places', i start writing the name of the place. what happens next is like this: the screen starts dimming, dimming dimming till it looks like it just turned off. then the screen turns white with the nokia logo, and is like the device resets (urning off then on again, but without the hands animation). then it appears on the 'desktop' screen, but the maps application is not running. in summary, when using the search funtion in ovi maps the device resets itself, mostly every time

Hi voodoochicken, I just tried the seach function & it doesn't behave how you describe it, it gave me the option to select my favorite, like the previous poster advise you, reinstalling the firmware doesn't work pay a visit to the Nokia service point, good luck.

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.

Ovi map for other country downloaded and installed...

I've used the Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 and connected with N900 but selected PC suite mode instead of Mass storage. I read alot that you have to select Mass storage for N900, but Ovi Suite won't then be connected with my phone, but works with PC suite.
I wanted to transfer country maps to the phone so I can use it offline. Selected the Map and downloaded and it said transfered to phone...so everything seems good. But when I go to open those maps on the phone...I can't find them anywhere at all! I'm not sure where they are.....I've check the 'ovi map', then the 'cities' folder but nothing. There are other files there but not titled with the cities i've downloaded. I tried to open those files anyways (having a "?" as their icon) and then selected I think 'Application' or something as ways to open the file.....then needed to download but 0kb...??? it then said unable to download, the file could be corrupted. So now..I'm stuck.
I don't know where the maps were transfered to. Oh and I check on the Ovi suite Map tab and selected my device, and it should alllll the cities and countries listed in my device (phone) already....but I can't find/open them on the phone. Much help and guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. I did check the cities folder and it's not there...I've downloaded New York and cannot find it. Also, the folders I saw were all a few kb and not the appropriate size.
I went to ovi maps on the n900 and only showed me where I am, I wanted to open new york map but don't know where and how. I clicked on search and entered new york but then ask me to connect to the internet. It did and it worked but then that means I have to connect.
It said I can be offline for N900:
http://www.nokia.com.au/get-support-and-software/download-software/maps-support/how-to/maps-for-n900
I thought it can be veiwed offline, so how can I? I wanted to open the map when overseas but if there's no internet connection and I have transfered the map on the phone previously, I won't be able? =(

N900 + Ovi Suite 3.0.0.282 Beta + Bluetooth

Hello.
I'm having trouble connecting my N900 via bluetooth to Ovi Suite. I used to use PC Suite (about 10 months ago), but after some time the drivers were suddenly removed both from the PC Suite package and Windows Update as well, which made me try OVI Suite since it should support the N900.
Bluetooth do find my N900 when you search with the native program, but only 1/4 drivers are found, like this:
Here's my system info:
Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.282
PC Connectivity Solution 10.50.1.0
Connectivity Cable Driver 7.1.36.0
Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater 2010.44.0.60888
Maps Service API 4.0.24.1
Nokia mPlatform 2.7.44
Ovi Desktop Sync Engine 1.4.1.42
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit Edition
Language: English
Detected internet browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385
- Mozilla Firefox 4.0 (Default browser)
Detected Bluetooth stacks:
- Microsoft (Version: 6.1.7600, Build: 16385), In use.
Detected USB drivers:
- Default Hub Driver for USB 6.1.7600.16385
- USB Modem Driver 6.1.7600.16385
- EHCI eUSB Miniport Driver 6.1.7600.16385
I've reinstalled Windows 7 several times last 10 months, so I don't think it's my particular installation that is causing problems.
Regards.
EDIT: If anyone wants to know what manufacturer made my bluetooth stick, I don't know. It is a cheap black stick with the bluetooth logo on it and the text "Bluetooth" to the right of the logo.

Hi please download and install official Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.284 from www.ovi.com/suite
Have you installed something special to your Nokia N900? Like "remote control" software or something else, which could add additional Bluetooth interfaces?

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.
