N95 Add GPS coordinates N95 8GB

Hi,
I want to add a GPS coordinate to my phone and save it as a Landmark so I can navigate to it using Nokia Maps.
I have not found a way of doing this, I need to use the format:
Latitude 53°20'38.82"N
Longitude 6°16'2.98"W
Also is there any way of coping saved points from Google Earth?
Thanks Des.

As for google earth, let me tell you one thing straight - the coordinates are not the same. That's right, the lat/long coordinates in google maps/earth does not correspond to the same location in nokia maps. At least the ones i have in HK.
Anyway back to your question, basically, you get a gpx file from google earth, and then use http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ to convert gpx to lmx. Put it in your phone, then open the file up in file manager. There you can import all/selected locations.
Unforturnately, chinese or other asian language support was lacking in that tool, so eventually i have to write my own ETL apps to convert the file.

How can I add gps coordinates to contacts for location reminders?

Hi,
It seems geocoding for things like location based reminders in the iphone 4 seems to be EXTREMELY inaccurate in South Africa.
If I search for an address in the maps app it finds it, but clicking on the same address in the contact list (where the reminders app find their address) to see it on the map shows any addresses in my city to show in the centre of the city, not at the propper address.
So in short, because the app doesn't get the correct location fromt he addresses, it doesn't know when to remind me.
I was hoping there would be a way of adding co-ordinates to the address box (I tried by haven't been able to get it right) that can be used for the location based reminders.
I think it's really stupid that the maps app can find a location fine when I search for the address, but clicking on the address in the contacts app doesn't give the same result.
Can anyone help me find a way to make this work?
Here's more info I've asked the same question at EE > http://rdsrc.us/zBKr7i
Thanks
Steven

I have also experienced this.
Tried to put in my address into the contact app and when tapping on address it opens it up in google maps, but pops a "No results" message. But when you immediately tap search (which have the values populated from the contacts app) it will find the address.
Then I add that address from the maps to the contact and delete the old one.
But like stevenfromjohannesburg said, when you add that address it doesn't add it correctly and the next time you tap it, it reverts to the centre or default of the suburb.
I've even tried adding only my suburb (Jukskei Park, Gauteng) which searches fine in the google maps app, but when tapping from the contacts app it doesn't find it. And when saving that from the maps app to contacts app, it saves it as Randburg ?
Very frustrating.

Using GPS coordinates for address on iPhone 4

I need to add GPS coordinates to a contact on my iPhone 4. I need to be able to click on the coordinates and be taken to the location within maps. Is there a way to do this with the new iOS4 and iPhone 4? Thanks

I would add that I observed an odd glitch in iOS 4. I haven't seen it occur yet in iOS 5 on my phone, but I have seen it manifest on my iPad with 5.0.1.
At the office, we have a secure WiFi network that does not broadcast the SSID. Occasionally, I'll see what you see above, and on my iPad (NOT 3G) I will see the WiFi indicator completely disappear... however, I am actually still connected to and using WiFi. If I put it to sleep and wait 5 minutes or so, then fire it up again, the indicator will come back.
I know It's on WiFi on the phone because I can see systems that are not visible to the outside world.

N95 8gb Problem with GPS in US.

Hi. I just brought nokia n95 8gb(Singapore model). I just updated my cell to 11 firmware. Now i have a big problem with GPS. I can find some satellites but i cant establish connection with them. How i can fix this problem? All the time if im going to google maps for example i can only see yellow blinking(satellite search) ...it never turns green...And i'm living in USA,New York. I tried differenet places and it doesnt work..Singapore phone doesn't work properly in US?

Yeaaaaah i fixed the problem by myself. Make sure everybody check in GPS data>Options>Positioning settings> that you disable bluetooth GPS and Network based. Yessir.U can close this topic.

I like to know how to User a Nokia N95 8GB, as GPS...

Hiya Everyone,
I had download a great app called KISMAC Trunk for MAC OS X 10.5, within the app it has a GPS map, but i cannot work out how, by using my Nokia N95 8GB phone, as a GPS receiver, i can see that the N95 is getting singles from the satellites, but i would like to know if there is or is not, away for the GPS data to be able to be used by KISMAC software?
I have tried loads of thing, but i cannot get the Phone and the MAC to used the GPS data
Please can anyone shed any light how i could get a fix from my problem?
Thanks
Flouts

*nod@scoobyman*
and i can report success with [ http://www.symarctic.com/beta/static.php?page=extgps_download ]
i haven't used it in a while now, but if i recall correctly i used this app on my N95-1, and something like gpsX on my Powerbook to receive the gps data.
at the time i found these apps by searching for info on using my N95 as a GPS for google earth. i'd bet searching for info re: google earth will turn up more results than searching for info re: kismac (one is a bit more socially acceptable than the other).
goodluck,
-bit
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

All existing ephemeris GPS data would be lost by software re-installation so as farby points out initial positional fix may take up to 30 minutes.
Also check to see whether device has Ovi Maps v3.01 now installed as not part of firmware:

GPS on N95 8GB on Pay As You Go?

Hey guys,
I have an N95 8GB Black which was bought off someone who got it as an upgrade on a Vodaphone contract, but I'm using it on Orange pay as you go.. I was wondering what is up with the GPS because wherever I am it just won't find my location? It just shows the yellow flashing lights as if it is trying to find it, but I have left for hours and no luck...
It's not like there are no satellites as well, I've checked and at times it will show 3 or 4 or even 5!
Also can someone outline the costs involved with GPS (if any) as I'm not really sure how it all works.
Thanks!

Hi shyamt
As the internal GPS receiver is fairly feeble partly due to the siting of antenna, it depends upon the Assisted GPS feature to speed up establishment of position. This feature requires an active connection which can be altered in Nokia Maps > Options > Settings > Network - connection = As needed rather than Never. The amount of data downloaded for a position fix is about 5kb.
You don't say whether you are indoors or whether you have tried outside away from tall buildings and trees. You should hold phone at 45 degrees with slider open. I do have concerns that GPS receiver is not working if you never get Three green LEDs
If you go to Menu > Tools > GPS data > Position > Options > Positioning settings there are 4 options available, of which 3 should be ticked - Internal GPS, Network and Assisted GPS.

Hi Nick,
Not certain what is causing the problem, but I do know that your phone needs to download maps, so you should connect using GPRS or Wifi to download the maps and then you should have maps for your locality, but you will need to connect again if you move outside of the locality. The best advise I would say is to get an internet add on for your phone so you won't be charged extra.
you may be able to download maps and load them on also. You may also need to turn off the network assisted GPS so you are only using the built in GPS not the internet to find where you are.
DOS.

After update N95 8gb i got big problems.

I make a backup of all but not the 8gb-memory, and restured all after upate, and everyting seems to work fine.
First problem; i see now i have no 3g 3 (no connection) competely dead, i can not use the phone to communicate.
Strange everything work fine after update yesterday and this morning, something happen when it was in the locker at work.
And now i can't use Maploader, it say i have no memorycard, i understand that problem, i delete the whole Cities-folder this morning, because i dont need Nokia GPS-program Wayfinder anymoore, i choose Nav4all instead, i try the maploader only to for testing, i don't want to download any maps.
I test maploader now only bacause my phone is completely dead in communication, try to find out why.
I check in Nokia Nseries PC Suit everything on PC & mobil are the latest update.
I have another mobile SE M600i with 3g 3-cashcard, i by that cashcard only to enable the phone to start, not for communication, that mobile have full 3g (and probably work fine).
Was it the thing that i delete the Cities-map, no it can't be, because i use the N95 8gb and it work fine after that.
after work i even have a missed call on that mobile, but i can't call back, it's dead in communication now.
Strange things happens now.

Is your phone in another language? You should normally see 2 or 3 options.
1. Dual Mode
2. UMTS
3. GSM
Maybe you could try reseting the phone if nothing else works.
Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
Try these
*#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default
*#7370# - Reformat your phone

Nokia N95 8GB Album Art and Album Folders Issue

I have been hunting for for a resolution for two issues with the N95 8GB Media Player all over the web.
1. Adding artwork (CD Covers) to audio tracks (or albums) seems to be at best hit and miss. Most of the time it just does not work.
2. Deleting an album delete all the tracks but deleting the album folder seems almost impossible.
Well this weekend I decided to try to solve this and I think I may have hit upon a solution.
Since so may people have the same problem I thought it worth repeating. I would stress this has not been exhaustively tested but it does work reliably so far.
I am using Nokia Music Manager 2.0. The fix is simply to convert the files to AAC rather than to M4A (which is the default). After this simple change everythig worked find for me. I can add and delete albums from Nokia Music Manager 2.0 (don't forget to refresh on the phone afterwards) AND reliably add Album Artwork.
So here is how I have been working.
1. Set the conversion format to AAC. I have been using 'Ultra high' quality setting. Options Menu >> Setting >> Conversion Tab.
2. Next put in a CD, select all the tracks and choose copy to my collection.
3. While this is going on I find the artwork on the Web. A simple Google Image search with the album title and artists last name / band name seems pretty 100% to get the on the first page. Download image to My Documents / My Pictures.
4. Once the CD Rip is complete they will all appear in My Collection. I select all the tracks in my collection for the album in question, and then right click on one of them and select Edit.
5. I then attach the Album Artwork by clicking on the blue folder and choosing it from my, MY Pictures folder.
6. Finally select Copy to Phone from the File Menu.
This has worked for me so far 100% and I have done 20 or so albums.
NOTES:
To get Nokia Music Manager 2.0 I uninstalled the version of Nokia Phone Suite that came with my phone and went to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905I (or seach Google for "nokia phone suite"
I chose the N95 8GB downloaded and installed. At some point shortly after install Phone Suite informed me that there were updates available and Nokia Music Manager 2.0 was one of these.
I was originaly using this and suffered all the problems you guys have. After searching the web and finding no solution I decided to do some experimenting.
Hope all this helps.
PS If you need to delete all your legacy album folders, this is the fix I found on this same site. You can do this at any time.
1. Enable the option to be able to see Hidden Files and Folders in your Windows Explorer.
2. Connect your n95 8gb to your computer and choose data transfer mode.
3. Go to My COmputer >> Nokia Phone Browser >> Nokia N95 8GB >> Memory Card E:
3. If you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders (see 1) you should see a folder called Private.
4. In the Private folder you need to delete the contednts of three folders
\private\101FFC31 (mpxv1.mpd and pcv5.mpd)
\private\101f8857\Cache
\private\101ffca9
In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
Next time you restart the music player it will rebuild the indexes without the deleted albums folders.
Hope this helps someone. It restored my sanity.

Album Art
Basically there are two methods
Method 1.
You do it on the phone. Load the album art pictures to the memory card. (Must be JPEG NOT BMP)
Load also the music files.
Open Music application in the phone. Open an album then select Options->Album art then Options-> Add, browse for the picture and select Ok.
Repeat for each ALBUM
Method 2.
You do it on the PC.
Get a Tag editing software like Tag&Rename, WINAMP, etc.
Edit the files Metadata to include Album Art picutres (again they should be jpeg and also they should be set as Cover Front).
Transfer the files that have Album Art using File transfer (usb mass storage) don't use MTP or PC Suite as these methods may convert the files and Album Art will be lost.
Or you can continue using your Method

Nokia N95 8GB takes ages refreshing even for one t...

Hi All.
I have had this REALLY frustrating problem...
Every time i add a track to my phone, then i refresh it takes AGES to update the library.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Nokia N97 Mini
V: 10.0.020 : 14/10/09
RM-555
Old: N95 8GB : V 20.0.016 : 28/09/08 : RM-320

The reason it takes a while is that the phone has to scan all memory every time you refresh, doesn't matter whether you're adding/removing 1 track or 1,000 as the phone doesn't know what needs to be added without checking.
One of the downsides of having more space.
If you're deleting tracks from the library, you can still listen to other tracks while this is happening: I listen to a lot of podcasts and always delete the ones I've aleady listened to as I'm listening to a new one. Again, deleting 10 tracks together takes the same time as deleting one.
If you want to listen to a track you've just added, you can do this while the music player library refreshes, just start playing it using file manager then switch to the library to do the refresh.

Data recovery from N95 8Gb internal memory

Hello
My girlfriend's N95 8Gb came to something of a nasty end over the weekend. No screen, no keyboard, camera unit's out, but, with a battery the lights still come on. The question is whether we can recover anything from the internal 8Gb flash memory. Any thoughts as to whether anything's salvageable and/or how to go about it? Has anybody been in the same position and succeeded in recovering any data?
Cheers

Thank you for your replies cjlim and jjegan.
The main problem I've got with mass storage mode is that with no screen nor keyboard I can't really select anything. I suspect when I connect the USB cable its probably waiting for me to select mass storage or PC Suite modes before it registers as a device on my PC. At the moment I therefore don't know for sure the connection's working. As I say the lights come on, so I'm hoping the main board is still in some sort of working condition. Guess I could see if the Nokia service centre could add a keyboard and screen??
Although costly I'd be quite happy to pay a data recovery specialist to get the images back, but I'm wondering how to even find such a specialist. I've searched google for a data recovery specialist in Singapore, but to no avail. They all seem to be fine with flash memory cards (as I am), but seem to baulk at an internal flash memory chip.
