N97 Maps Download via Phone
Hi,
I recently purchased an N97 and wish to download maps via the phone/wifi. I do not have a computer for which I am an administrator so I can not use Ovi/Nokia Maps on any PC. I can use a wifi connection to download.
The Ovi website boasts how you can save downloads by installing Nokia Maps but I can't find out how to download them via the phone. I read something about them downloading automatically when you are in a location but then you'd be on roaming and incurring £££££s.
Does anybody know how to download Maps via the N97?
Daniel
Futher to phonehacker's comment - what you cannot do that Map Loader allows is to download entire regions over the air - you will only download that area that is in displayed on the screen.
So what you would need to do is to scroll around the area that you wish to download with your Wlan connected to allow the data to download. then move on to the next.
Cheers
Chris
Although i work for Nokia, my opinions are my own!

I notice that Nokia Support site mentioned that we can downloading Map easily via Nokia suite, but somehow there is an issue... I can only download the Map application ie Map loader and etc.. If I need to the Map, I need to use the Map Loader to Add Map via OTA or WIFI... but I cant use Nokia suite to add Map at all.. When I use Update software, I dont see any new map to be updated... Is there a way to use the Nokia Suite to update the Map?
What is your Device and the Maps version installed on it ? Depending upon these ...when the phone is connected to PC.. In Nokia suite -->Maps you should see the list of available maps when the server gets connected. Then select the Maps / Voice Guidance files you want and select Download...

HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

File download via servlet doesn't work with IE via https
I have a URL from a jsp page which points to a struts action servlet. This works with firefox via http and https. With IE it works via http but it doesn't work via https. The error message I get is "Internet Explorer cannot download ...File_name.doc from Server_name.

There is a bug with IE when downloading via https according to Microsoft support site. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812935
According to this bug, I have set the response header - "pragma" to public and "cache-control" to public. I've also unchecked the Do not save encrypted pages to disk setting in IE Options, Advanced tab.

Free country maps download error in Nokia n95 afte...
I have downloaded maps application from Nokia maps support site (nokia_maps_3.01_09wk44_b01_s60_3.1_lm_rom) and installed in my nokia n95. I had the previous version in my device was 2.xx (sorry i forgot the correct version). I had India map in my device with the old version. After installing i run the application in and it deleted the old maps data in the device as they are not compatible with this version.
Then i opened ovi suite and selected maps. There listed "Maps have been updated-Download updated maps". I selected "download updated maps". Then a new window came and listed "Install device application" next. I selected next. Then it listed "Checking old maps and voice guidance files.. this may take several minutes.". I waited for it to get complete. After waiting about minutes it showed the error that "Internet connection lost - updating could not be completed because the internet connection was lost.... and so on" Try again. I hit Try again. Then it said "Maps have been updated" Finish. I selected finish. Then it returned to maps in ovi suite. There it listed the same message "Maps has been updated ..Download updated maps" which was shown early. No maps data for any countries are listed.
But there were no problem with my internet connection. I did these processes for three times. All times i got the same error. But there were no problem with my internet connection. I have done these with windows xp service pack 3, and also with windows7 ultimate and the ovi suite 2.2.0.245. My device OS version is V 31.0.017, 16-12-08, RM-159, Nokia N95(01.01).
I hope someone will provide a solution for this problem.
Thank you.or you could try the Nokia Maps Updater which can also add and update maps to your phone , and can be downloaded from the Nokia website !

Maps missing from "phone view"
I am using Nokia Suite to update the maps on my Nokia 5800. But when I click on the section which should list maps on the phone, only the voice guidance files show up. I have confirmed that the maps are on my phone (for example I just uploaded the map for Paris and I can find the Eiffel Tower) but neither the existing maps, nor the newly uploaded maps show up in Nokia Suite.
You may try deleting the 'Cities' folder and the 'qf' file from the phone. You may do that by connecting your phone to PC and then thru' Windows Explorer.. Now, disconnect the phone and then Open the Maps application on the phone and after about 15-20 seconds close it. This will recreate the Folder structure. Now connect the phone again to PC and thru' Nokia Suite re-download / re-install the Maps that you want ...

Hello. I have an E-72. I was able to download the maps perfectly with ovi maps version 3.03, and then I installed version 3.04 beta but didn't like it so I switched back to 3.03. I cleared the maps using nokia map loader. When I tried to download them again, they all download except for Saudi Arabia (which I had before). I even hard reset my phone but still keeps doing the same thing, downloads and midway through, says "item: 52f40.cdt" "Message: File couldn't be uploaded. The file or folder might be in use."....and the Nokia Map Loader says: Download Error..An error has occured while downloading data to your phone"....and then Nokia Map Loader freezes. I even deleted the cities folder and re-installed both map loader and ovi maps. I'm using a mac if that makes a difference. Please help.

Delete the entire cities folder and qf file on the root of your memory card.
Run the Ovi Maps application on your phone (it will re-build the cities folder and qf file). Exit the application.
Download the map you want.
Saudi Arabia
Now you must extract the contents of this zip file to your MicroSD.
Extract contents of the file to cities\diskcache (overwrite / replace files if prompted; it's completely normal).
Download the Index file.
Index Asia
This is for offline searches for the entire Asia region (which Saudi Arabia falls under).
Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex (create ClientIndex folder if it doesn't exist. Overwrite/ replace files if prompted)
Now you need Voices.
See the Voices section of this topic
(you may also prefer to grab entire continents instead, which is covered there).
Disconnect the phone. Start Ovi Maps on the phone.
You should have it working. -
I am installing 76 megs of maps with the Nokia map downloader
and it is taking for ever, in fact just 14% in 3 hours...is this normal ??
The phone is offline and connected by the USB cable with "mass storage selected" to my XP PCIt's a true TOTAL disappointment that the download speed of OVI maps through a high-speed internet connection is absolute rubbish. I have NO CLUE how to communicate this abominable experience to Nokia. Downloading the 1.4Gb map of the USA is a matter of keeping my PC on through the night. The same file in any other file format or from another destination zaps in in approximately 5 minutes, barely gives me time to get a new cup of coffee! Nokia should understand that FREE maps become a TIME liability for me .... so Garmin might be a better alternative.

INADEQUATE information on NOKIA MAPS Download Site
The information NOKIA gives about maps version in the Nokia Maps Download page of their web site is really poor: Nokia Maps 2.0 or 1.0, nothing more.
Minimum details if they were more serious should be:
1) Release date
2) Release version
and possibly:
3) Tentative date for next update
So people can decide if they need to update or not. As their site is now, it is not possible to know at a glance if maps are more recent then the one you already have.if your phone uses navteq go to there website and check the maps for yourself and see if there better than the ones you have.as for the rest you are correct

Hi
Ihave the latest 2.2.1.23 - when I try to download a map to the device it gets half way - then a message - inernal error maps has encountered an unknown error.
i've also tried to install maps installer but this downloads to phone then when i try to install it stops at about 75% then says installation error on phone and dropped it straight into phone mass storage does the same
I done this countless times and its driving me nuts.
I've done a hard reset, uninstalled/reinstalled ovi suite deleted cities from x6 and reinstalled- no joy.
My 5800 failed and i was given the x6 as a replacement - I had no probs with the 5800 at all. but because of the maps issue am beginning to hate the x6. I've spent literally hours and hours on this.
i have managed to download voice guidance with no probs
HELP
I can still send the phone back and change for another make - but really like the maps when I've got them on my phone and they workHi eggandspoon,
Certainly give cjlim 's method a try and see if it works.
if not, then try to uninstall NOKIA MAPS and OVI MAPS and re-install the application.
As u have the luxury of taking it back to the shops and u seem to be more after the maps (than the type of phone u get) - why not ask for another Nokia (be it X6 or 5800) - just in case u got a one in a million new nokia phone that happens to have issues.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Whoever you are and whereever you are, just ask and I will try my best to help...

Hi, my n97 ovi map and google map having problem, when i try to use ovi map or google map then always appears on the screen " Licence to connect expired". i have deleted the map download again but still it does not work.
Also, what version of maps do you have ? 3.04 is available that gives wifi location as well as network and GPS . You could also install Google maps , and see how accurately it positions you as that also uses GPS. Finally, how long are you giving the GPS to locate your position , as an initial GPS lock can take several minutes (which is why all the other methods are available !
Good Luck

Ovi suite can see maps installed on phone, but pho...
I was using ovi maps on the phone with no problems.
After a botched phone backup, I had to do a hard reset of the phone
Now ovi won't let me download maps to the phone because it thinks they are already there but the phone can't see them (they are all on memory card)
Also when the phone does try to download the maps it errors (either usb or wifi connection)
How can I force it to realise that it already has the maps/force ovi suite to update or refresh what is on there?
nokia 5800@adolfgarlic
Have you tried deleting E:\cities + .qf file from memory card, open Nokia Maps application upon 5800XM to re-define necessary folder structure to re-download your regional maps.
As your 5800XM does not have mass memory there should not be any conflicts with memory card as storage medium, which can happen upon devices so equipped!

Dear Apple Customer Support,
Last year A friend purchase a iPhone 4S - 32GB White.
When she purchase iPhone 4S, didnt realised she need to download Find Phone, has she thought it was already in iPhone 4S, system. I approved lots Apple Store in Malaysia, non could help me and all said the same, if you don't download Find Phone, there's no way you can trace it back. No doubt what they all had said is not wrong....but my heart said, am sure there's always a way to track or trace it back even without the Find Phone Apps. Knowing myself don't have such powerful system to find the phone back. Every Poison there's Anti-Dos for it. I know you have the power and system to track & trace the phone back by Apple. If Apple can build such powerful smart phone am sure there's always a way for you there to trace or track it. I had seem movies which even show but not many able to see the hidden message in movie or etc. All my wish was to least Delete or JAM the system by using the serial number or code which you produce in every iPhone 4S or etc. Least the person who took it, would not able to used it at all even if they wannt jail break it or does anything to iPhone 4S. Least they could do is either throw it away or return to Apple Store in individual country. I know what am asking might be impossible to asked, but its the impossible which its not impossible.
1st: Why build a system which so smart with all serial no and codes, but the "Find Phone" its not one of the Apps for iPhone?
2nd: Why must customer need to download "Find Phone" Apps and the rest of the Apple Apps in inside the Phone...? Doesn't make sense....
3rd: In any movie, you watched they will break the phone or throw it away and so they are not able to trace the person but the phone still can be trace or track...unless the person break the chips or put into Fire to destroy it completely, then YES, i believe it can't be trace or track.
Please kindly in your power to help or advice or bring this up to Apple Team Mind before all perfection to make iPhone....Metta
Sincerely,
