NO STREETS OR ROADS ON OVI MAPS IN THE UK ON 5800

i've no idea how to fix this. changed all the settings to how was recommended on posts already here but still nothing. its like the east coast of england has disappeared from derby eastwards, partners also has a 5800 but nothing wrong with hers.even zooming in on cities that are there is no good cos the streets disappear. will a hard reset fix it\? i've already updated firmware and reinstalled ovi maps. thanks

Try deleting E:\CITIES + .qf file from memory card, re-run OVI Maps application on device one more time to define folder structure required by OVI Suite > Maps and try again.
Bear in mind with a 5800XM that there is the option to upgrade to OVI Maps v3.06 pre-release at Nokia Beta Labs (sign in with Nokia ID & password) which enables you to download maps directly to device using WLAN obviating need for PC entirely.

Ovi maps on the 5530?

Does anyone know how to get ovi maps on to my Nokia 5530? I believe it comes pre-installed on the 5800 but not on the 5530, but it seems like there should be no reason it wouldn't work on the 5800 too?
I have tried using the map installer program, but it doesn't seem to recognise my phone. Is there an Ovi Maps SIS file or something I can just transfer to the device and install?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've got the latest version (with free navigation) up and running.
Download the 5800 Ovi Maps software to your PC and then transfer it onto phone using "mass storage"
Go to file manager on phone and run the installation file you just copied.
Start up the Ovi Maps application ( this creates a "drive" for the maps). Close it down and then turn phone off and back on.
Download Map Loader application to your PC
Start up Map Loader and then connect phone via USB cable using "PC Suite" option - this should work if you previously started Ovi Maps as above
Select the required maps (and voice if needed) and transfer them to your phone.
Next time you start Ovi Maps, everything should be there.
I think you need a bluetooth GPS if the navigation is going to be any use but you probably knew that already.

Nokia X6 - How do I help Ovi map get the first loc...

Hi all,
Is there a way of "manually" assisting the GPS ?
Sometimes I know where I am (e.g. in a car park) and it is annoying for the phone to try to get assisted info via my data plan.
Can I just tell it where I am and for it to use that info to get the first lock ?
Thanks.

Usually I turn on my gps in my driveway and my X6 connects to my wifi and it locates a lot faster (probably pulls/caches the latest satelite coordinates? -- that's what my HTC Diamond did before)
Otherwise you're out of luck

That is the easy bit. Just select the voice you want from within Ovi Maps. If it is not already installed it will go online to download and install it. You will have to set Ovi Maps to Online to do this. Use wifi to avoid data charges if you don't have a data plan.
IT"S not so easy bit!!!
The russian voice for auto navigation is present - BUT for pedestrian navigation is absent!!!
No russian voice with street names!!!!!!!!!!!!
The many countries with small population has voice with street names but Russia with 150 millions population does not have voice with street names at now!! Only one stantard voice!!!
The Nokia already known about this situation and say me that send this is info to Navteq and Navteq work on this... but so many changes and so voices with street names present for other countries but for Russia no even now... It's shame for Navteq/Nokia and too big disrespect and not understanding the market situation... In Russia many people bay the Nokia product and at even now Nokia has ~30% on market in Russia!!!

Ovi maps shows wrong mileage

I have been using Ovi maps for 18months & find it frustrating in that it seems to show a mileage as the straight line route.
I have just done a trip of 140 miles, Ovi maps shows it as 97milers, Google maps shoes it as 140.
How can I get it to show the road mileage.

I think that maybe DIYISFUN is talking about the distance from the current location to a POI. For instance, if I do a search for nearby restaurants, Ovi Maps shows the geographyical distance (the distance as a straight line) of each restaurant and not the route distance. The real route distance is only showed after the route is calculated.
If that is DIYISFUN complain, almost every navigation systems behave in the same way Nokia Maps do, I mean, they allways show the geographycal distance to POIs and only show the route distance after a route is calculated.

Ovi maps wont display downloaded voice files

Hi
I have a C5-00 5MP and I downloaded maps for walking ("with street names"). But Ovi Maps seems unable to get aware of it : the menu allowing to select the walking guidance voice in settings remains empty. The voices for driving guidance are displayed OK though.
Anyone got an idea ? My software version is 071.003.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK it works now !
I tried to select the option "Bips and vibrations" in the walking guidance choice menu, and it asked me to connect to download voice information or something like that. Afterwards, the voice list became more comprehensive, with the french voice (among others) visible.
I'd have prefered not to have to download, since I dont have data in my package. But it seems I didnt have a choice.
Btw there is now a file voice_catalog.FRE in the folder E:/CITIES/diskcache/VOICES. So the solution was actually to remove the voice_catalog.ENG from that folder. But it was necessary after that to go to the walking guidance choice menu in Ovi maps, and select the option "Bips and vibrations", as I said.
Thanks again for ur help

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

N97:Ovi Maps crashes after a few seconds

On N97 I had Ovi maps working like a breeze for some weeks now. All of a sudden I see this behaviour. Open Ovi Maps, see the main page, click on My Location the map appears a message about connecting might cost you something and the Ovi Maps disappears.
What should I do the get Ovi Maps working againg. Oh, btw Internet works just fine.

The original maps app that came with the phone will always be there (like music player or photo viewer or web browser) Maps 3.04 works fine on my N97. Best way to install is to remove (as you said you did) all Nokia/Ovi maps from Installed Applications, then download Ovi Maps 3.04 Beta from Nokia Beta Labs. Then use Nokia Maps Loader on PC to first remove old maps, followed by downloading and installing the map data for your region onto the phone (the stuff the Maps app uses to find where you are and to navigate) to avoid having to download 'on the fly', this speeds everything up and avoids data usage. Maps should then work fine ! Well it works for me !!
Good Luck

Ovi Map 3.3 Problem, wants to reinstall it.

I installed ovi map 3.3 on my n97 today. The weather and some other feature won't run. It simply gives me a running sign on the upleft corner of the icon, but does not really run.
I figured it might be the problem of having old ovi map running when I was updating to the newest ovi map.
Anyway, I want to reinstall it. However, I can't find ovi map in the installed apps list. Not on the phone or from pc suit.
Anyone knows how to reinstall it w/o formatting everything?

Follow the instructions in that link. As for future updates, just google Ovi Maps.

Ovi map - My Position icon MISSING (N8)

Hi,
I just got my N8 few days ago. After updating Ovi maps to the newest version ( 3.06 if not mistaken ) I have noticed a few problems.
1) My Position icon is totally missing, that means i can't locate my current position in gps. that's really bad.
2) Gps cant lock even after a pro-long scanning time, moreless 30 mins anywhere. I'm using intergrated positioning. Red signal blinking, no data found.
3) I tried to delete the CITIES folder and qf file, and reinstalled the ovi map downloaded, but problem still remains.
I haven tried anyform of hard or soft reset yet, as i found lots of people facing problems doing that. Is there any other way to ocmpletely remove ovi map & reinstall it again, or i need to do a reset ?
I would like to get some advice from you guys on solving my gps issues. Thank you

Some cars have coated windscreens which can reflect gps signals and this will slow down position fix. One way of testing would be to compare how long it takes to get a fix in the car as out of the car. I generally get a fix after about a minute.
My suggestion if it is a windscreen coating problem would be to get yourself an external bluetooth gps receiver. They are very cheap nowadays. The advantage of using this is the external receiver is usually much more sensitive and you can also place them anywhere in the car to get the best possible signal. I have a few of them. They work well and would normally get a position fix in seconds.

Ovi Maps deleted on 6303 classic

Hi,
In the past I unfortunately deleted whole application Ovi Maps on the phone 6303 classic, I didnt find the way how to get this application back to the phone. Please help.

Why do you want the application back ? Anyways, your phone does not have built-in GPS receiver so you can not use it..Yes, if you want to connect it thru' external GPS receiver device then the maps application becomes useful..

Nokia Maps / Ovi Maps Installer

Hi All,
I heard that we were now able to get maps and navigatoin for free, is this correct? I have a n95 and when I go to use the navigation feature in Nokia Maps (just updated it), it says that navigation is a premium service and that I have to pay for it.
I thought there might be a new program available so I tried to install Ovi Maps from the Ovi Store on the phone but it just gets to "preparing to install" and then says "Update Error" and quits.
I have tried reinstalling the firmware but get the same response. Does anybody know what is going on, have I missed something?
Thank you.
Tom

Hi Gregorycharper,
As your phone is a S60 5th edition, I believe that the last stable release of Nokia Maps was 3.06. Versions afterwards like 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09 were solely for Symbian^3 devices running Symbian^3, Symbian Anna and Nokia Belle: http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-07/download_and_installation I'm not too sure if 3.06 graduated from Beta Labs into Nokia Store, but you can always check Nokia Store for the latest version listed there.
Yes, you could always switch your SIM card and memory card with your son's phone if you believe it is a software issue, or that it is a hardware issue. Likewise, checking the Maps data and installations when your phone is connected to your computer in Nokia Suite. Apart from Nokia Suite and Nokia Maps on the Nokia website to download the installation files, there is not really any other place to source the installation files.
Hope this helps.

N8 - Ovi Maps & Routing Speech through Bluetooth

Is there any way to route the voice directions from Ovi Maps to bluetooth headphones?
I tried the other day, with music playing from my N8 through my bluetooth headphones the voice directions were still only coming out of the handset itself!
Not much use if I'm using the satnav whilst riding a bicycle! That was one really useful thing I found about my HTC Desire - it would send the directions via the bluetooth headphones if connected, even if music was playing! It would pause the music, say the directions, then start playing again! Sadly then the battery would die before I reached my destination

I've got the same problem... very very annoying ! Ovi maps is useless for my bluetooth crash helmet. How can it be so long to be fixe by Nokia ?
I have posted this before but here goes again:- There is a work-around, which is not exactly elegant but at least good enough to use for this safety- relevant feature.
Record a file with 2 mins of quiet/no sound/empty room etc. Save this to your music directory on the phone. Before using the ovi maps open the music player and set this to play the quiet.mp3 continously/repeat. THEN when connecting your blue-tooth device and using the maps you will get the sound directions. This works because idiotically the blue-tooth sound directions are only active when "music" is being played. Which normally is unusable/distracting. If the "music" is in fact at most a light backgroud "hiss..." then this is not so bad.
p.s. One can expect a bit more battery useage this way. Good idea to have a charging facility on your vehicle. In my case with a 125cc Scooter I have built this under the seat. The BT works fine from there so I can use the maps while the N8 is charging.
Stay safe!

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.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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? =(
