N95 gps on maps

i have recently just got an n95 with the map programme on it.
i am having trouble getting the gps connected though, can anyone help.
i can load the programme, find location and view the map, and routes.
but when i ask it to start the journey, it says no gps signal, what do i do lol

If you goto Settings>General>Positioning>Positioning methods, make sure "Integrated GPS" is ticked.
Now the GPS receiver on the N95 is under is keypad. In order to get the best possible signal, you should slide out the keypad and hold phone at 45 degree angle. It also works best outdoors where it gets a good view of the satellites in the sky. It could take up to 10 minutes or so for your phone to get first fix. You can reduce this time by enabling AGPS but you need network connection to use this. You could also get a bluetooth external GPS receiver.

Nokia N95 GPS Maps Navigation now free?

After using Nokia Maploader to get the maps onto my phone, its letting me use the voice navigation for free without buying a subcription. Why?

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.

Hi Bearone21, I have selected GPS & Verizon Location services and Google WiFi & mobile network location.

Trying to download update to CoPilot Live and CoPilot GPS with maps. files sizes are large and taking hours to download on wireless connection. How can I download App updates and new maps while connected to PC and Itunes through hard wire internet link?

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.

How do I use GPS and Maps on my new Nokia N95?

Hi everyone.
Apologies if my questions seem very stupid
I have read my manuals but don't understand how to use the GPS or to use maps. (FYI - I live in Australia).
-When I go to the menu, and click onto Maps, it loads up a picture of the world but nothing happens. There is a little wavey line thing in the top right corner that moves - does this mean it is searching for a position?
-Someone said everyone needs to make sure their GPS Receiver is turned on - what does this mean?
-Is there anything I need to download before I can use maps or GPS?
-Am I just supposed to go outside after clicking on maps, and wait for it to find a position?
-Do I need to download anything?
Thanks everyone. I am just so confused about how this actually works and can't seem to find any basic instructions or information.
Thanks, Doc

Hi doc18
Firstly if you are using v12.0.013 software on your N95 it is a lot quicker to obtain fix with A-GPS feature, although an active connection via WLAN or Network is needed. The symbol for this is a bit like two curtailed arrowheads at top right of screen.
There is an updated version of Nokia Maps 1.0 available:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4509291
Go outside away from buildings and tress with clear view of sky. Open slider and hold phone at 45degrees, don't cover "#" key as GPS antenna beneath it. Low cloud or rain will make satellite acquisition a lot longer.
If you go to Menu > Tools > GPS data > (searching for + calculating data) > Position > Options > Satellite status
This shows any number of satellites up to five - empty rectangle = not locked on - black filled rectangle = signal acquired; you need a minimum of 3 solid bars for lock-on and triangulation to work!
If you return to using Nokia Maps application the "red cross" disappears off satellite icon bottom right of screen when locked on.

N95 GPS maps for Iceland

Hi all
I have tryed the Nokia Map loader and I find alot of maps but Iceland in not there. Do you know if I can grap it somewhere or do I haveto use a 3rd party software for GPS ?
Regards from Iceland

Hi there,
Does anyone know of any updates on this? I am happy to use the non-navigable maps for now as I have a good road map (but a terrible sense of direction!). Would be really useful to be able to download whatever maps there are beforehand. I have been browsing the map over a WiFi connection on an N78 and quite a lot of data comes down. Map Loader doesn't list Iceland so I can't seem to download anything that way.
Aggh!
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Oliver

How long does it takes that GPS in MAP 3.1 will wo...

Question to NOKIA:
HOW LONG TIME YOU NEED TO MAKE GPS TO WORK WITH OVI MAP 3.1 in N97?
On all N97 I know and as you can read here in forum the GPS doesn't work usable in N97 and with MAP 3.1.
I believe that this is a software problem because often I get a GPS signal inhouse and in the wood, but from one second to the other N97 lost the GPS signal. And this in the best weather condition under free sky. Sometimes gps signal works for 15 minutes, then the signal will drop every minute or so.
The current position on map is shift (past) abaout 40-50 meters from the real position, so its unable to use.
The calculated speed is always changing between 0 and the current speed.
I have updated phone to de newes software and firmware also to ne newest maps also has hard reseted and reformatet and the problem ist still the same.
CAN NOKIA TELL US WHEN THIS BUG WILL BE FIXED, AND CAN NOKIA OFFER US A REFUND.
I have payed a lot for N97 and alot for the navigation licence and a lot for accesoires and a lot for the traffic security assistance. So I want a working phone! I dint have payed money for e alpha-stadium phone.
If this is realy the quality of nokia phone, then It is the latest phone I have buyed from nokia.
By the way, the phone has many many many many other bugs as described in this forum.
Really bad work NOKIA! :-(
I was so excited with my N95 and now this mess...
NOKIA please answer us forum members, what you plan to do with the N97 bugs. When we can hope that the bugs are gone? Otherwise I will return my phone and want my money back and I sue for compensation.

[N95] GPS Question

Hi,
I got an unlocked N95 (US), I updated to latest firmware and everything works fine with the GPS. I can lock the satellites and get an accurate position of my location.
I am planning a trip to another state and to speed up downloads I downloaded and installed Nokia Map Loader v1.1 in my PC and tried to download the new State without success. The steps I followed were:
1.- Connect the N95 via USB and select Mass Storage
2.- Run Nokia Map Loader and select the State I want to download
3.- Click download
I got the following messages:
- Verifying Mass Storage
- A downloading progress bar that fills up completely
- The Save to storage bar never moves and the window with it closes
- Verifying Mass storage message again
- Error message: Mass Storage had been disconnected, connect it and try again.
The disk never disconnects, actually I an see it all the time under My PC
I tried different states, countries with similar results.
Any idea what is happening?
Thanks

Hi seti
I don't whether this has anything to do with the fact that you are using the latest version of Maploader v1.1, but the latest version of Nokia Maps 1.1 is NOT currently available for the N95 if you check Smart2go site. It has been reported elsewhere that this is due to a problem in "licnce manager" soon to be reolved.

Totally lost about N95 GPS. Help!

Hi. I just recently bought a N95 and I know nuts about the GPS thing. When I open maps, I see this picture of a globe with a small icon of a satellite with a cross on it (I presume I am not connected to it). When i view satellite info, I am able to pick something up.
When I rotate the globe and then press the GPS pos button, it focuses on Europe which Im not at (not zoom in).
Btw, Im from Singapore and im using Starhub network.
Can anyone help me? Im totally lost.

Hi frostshardz
Firstly if you are using v12.0.013 or later software on your N95 it is a lot quicker to obtain fix with A-GPS feature, although an active connection via WLAN or Network is needed.
Go outside away from buildings and tress with clear view of sky. Open slider and hold phone at 45degrees, don't cover "#" key as GPS antenna beneath it. Low cloud or rain will make satellite acquisition a lot longer.

This shows any number of satellites up to five - empty rectangle = not locked on - black filled rectangle = signal acquired; you need a minimum of 3 solid bars for lock-on and triangulation to work.
Once satellites are locked on you should be able to zoom into your position provided that active connection has been set to "as needed" rather than "never" in options > settings in Maps application, to allow download of sufficient map detail.

N95 GPS receiver is NOT a SIRFF quality receiver

Dear all,
I have at last decided to claim for a money back for the N95 ánd for the subscription to 3y for Nokia Maps(which i could never use, since the poor GPS receiver never gets a lock with any satellites!)
Before you ask: yes, i upgraded firmware, yes i did even have wifi turned on in an attempt to 'help' the N95 do the routing calculation, and yes I turned off any other interfering applications. And, no: the N95 never gets a fix without first making me wait over 45 minutes (by then I am usually already at my destination)
Interesting to know is that Nokia callcenter declared 'to have nothing to do with Nokia Maps Subscription', even though I subscribed becáuse I wanted to enable voice guided routing with the N95- still: if I wanted thát money back, they warned me I had to go get it at the Maps people that delivered it to us customers. So much for service. So much for Nokia!!

Dear all,
I bought the phone less than 28 days ago, but Tmobile won't refund me my money since:
a) they only do refunds within 7 days(and not 28 days)
b) they are not officially aware of 'malfunctioning GPS' and therefore deem the phone as a working phone (basically shift the problem back to Nokia as the producer and me as the consumer)
I absolutely understand that the company behind Nokia maps is NOT Nokia itself. However, it ís through Nokia's website that i was 'urged' to link up to Nokia Maps and subscribe if I wanted voice guidance (as opposed to no voice at all). So i understand the Nokia maps people have nothing to do in this: their software wórks, and THEY can't help it if the Nokia GPS doesnt perform well!!
However, I ám tricked in subscribing to Nokia Maps -by- Nokia (its website), believing (back then) that it would really help me in starting using the Navigator feature.
Had I known that the GPS receiver was of such poor quality, it goes without saying that I would have never subscribed to the 3y Nokia Maps voice navigator, let alone buy the phone N95 itself.
So, I dó think Nokia has brought the whole issue down to me, and I do think I was tricked in buying 2 products I would never have if I had known that the N95 wouldn't get to navigate in the first place.

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.

Nokia N95 - GPS dos not work & Barcode Scan not wo...

Hi.. I have Nokia N95 (N95-1 by user manual) - device firmware soft version
11.0.026
17-04-07
RM-159
Nokia N95(05.01)
When i try use "GPS position" application or "Maps" it's dos not work. All ways i see - "no connected" in status (in my home, in street and other open places). In all times that i'am user my N95 only one time by command "Satellites State" y have screen with 2 satellite (~5second) and other time allways "No Data or No Connected Satellites".
Q: Whats the problem - it's that Qaulite(or Strong) of GPS(for that needed like it GPS)? or it's defect and GPS must work avrever (and home, and on street)
When i try use application "Barcode Reader" - it's no one times dos not readed barcode? Only try? and try, and try... all times?
Q: Why dos not work? who see worked "Barcode reader"?
Thank to ALL..
(with love from Russia)
Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

First of all , you should update to the newest firmware (v20). If you can of course, for some network branded phones update is not available yet.
As for GPS, first fix is taking a long time (5 to 10 minutes).
In v12 and above A-GPS (assisted GPS) was added to speedup the process. It's using data connection for initial lock.
And make sure you're not covering tha hash key, that's where GPS reciever is. It will get a fix, just be patient because it will take some time.
Barcode reader is not for reading normal barcodes (like on products). It's used for Nokia's mobilecodes. You can check it here

Nokia GPS (Nokia Maps)

I had a Nokia N95, and now I have the Nokia 5800, and they both have the Nokia Maps on them, but I do not understand how to use it! Do we need anything? How is it used? Any help will be great!
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
nungon94.

The 5800 has two connections so to speak for the Maps .
One is the standard GPS =No Charge .
Two is the Assisted A-GPS that connects via your phone networks internet service for better triangulation/location
This is charged at whatever rate your network provider charges .
Recommendation with a new 5800 is to switch maps on and for the first satellite location also use A-GPS for a better first fix .
I have Nokia maps Google maps both no charge with A-GPS switched off .
However if i want Google to show aerial view then it needs the internet connection .
Likewise my Trapster speed camera software requires internet connection .
I am with Virgin Mobile in the UK on PAYG and Internet charges are 30p a day up to 25MB usage . Check your providers charges on your package .
