Nokia Maps 3.0 on N97 - Feature Request

The only practical way I can find to get Maps to work in Landscape mode, is to enable auto-rotate globally in the phone settings and have the phone tilted sideways.
For me, I want the ability to rotate to landscape in Maps, without having to enable it globally.
So my feature request would be: Add a landscape switch/option for Maps, allowing users to switch from potrait to landscape even if the global auto-rotate function is disabled in the phones settings.

Hi mate. Thanks for your response. Yes that is true, but it isn't very practical in a car situation, as my phone holder and/or dash can't keep the phone in place when it's flipped open, and the second you close it after opening it, it returns to portrait mode again.
I need the phone to be in a closed state (i.e no keyboard) with the ability to view Maps in landscape without the need to have the auto-rotate feature enabled globally.
Thanks again.

[Nokia Maps] Unable to purchase navigation feature

On My E90, I tried several times to upgrade to "voice navigation" but failed. That was what I did as the followings:
1. [Options] -> [Extra services] -> Add navigation
2. [Accept] the terms and conditions
3. [Purchase] "Navigation upgrade"
4. The unusual part began :
4.1. Select region "Taiwan" then the application crashed and back to desktop
4.2. Select region "Taiwan/China/Hong Kong/Macau" then it shows "Please enter your personal license code, which you received at the time of purchase" and an input field labeled "CD" which you are able to key-in a license code in format "nnnn-nnnn-nnnn". Of course, I dunno what to do and stop here.
According to the official information -
Nokia Europe - Nokia Maps - Voice-guided Navigation
http://europe.nokia.com/A4509359
There should be a screen w/ license-type selection then I will able to choose the payment method and finish the process. But unfortunately I just unable to see one. Anyone could help please?

This is strange as I usually find wifi to be the better connection to use. It is also free as opposed to paying network data charges on 3g. Anyway, the main thing is you got it to work.
Truly! I am glad it finally work properly too. I applied an fixed price package of my 3.5G network that provide unlimited packets transmission on a monthly subscription fee, that's why I just let my E90 stay on the mode instead of WiFi.
Anyway, I think the problem is not due to the connection method but the service/application itself. Before I could purchase the navigation feature of region "Taiwan", tried some other regions and one of it "triggered" the "Update" procedure. That is the first time I saw it happen which gimme a hint, so I go back to region "Taiwan" and it got an "Update" too. Finally, everything worked. Dunno if it is a tip but I think it might help if someone just meet same problem as me.

How do i get rid of Nokia maps connection request?

I've turned the 'connection' option from the 'internet' menu on nokia map to 'offline'. but it still requests connection when i'm naviging the map. it's a real **bleep**-off coz it does so every second.
how do i shut it up?plz
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Menu-->Applications-->Location-->Positioning-->Positioning methods .. Enable only Integrated GPS.. (Bear in mind that this will take a bit longer for the initial FIX)
In Maps-->Options (Spanner Icon)-->Internet-->Connection .. set to OFFLINE
Hope you have downloaded the maps of your region ..

Nokia maps.changing red circle to an arrow?

Hi there,
Is there a way to change the red circle ( the dot) to an arrow? I know it changes when you're navigating to a place, but can I change it when I'm just moving around?

Unfortunately that is not possible.
The new nokia maps 3.0 adds a feature that may be useful to you. You can set it so that the map points in the direction of travel, instead of always pointing north.
Maps 3.0 is still a beta and not compatible with many models yet.

N97 Nokia maps "System error" / google maps won't ...

Since my N97 was unboxed Nokia maps has refused to load, it just beeps and says "System error". That's it! Any clues on how to get this working? It's pretty annoying as it's one feature I was looking forward to using.
Funnily enough I installed google maps and that won't open either, but there's no error message, it just makes the screen blink once then back to the menu.
Any advice appreciated

N97 FM Transmitter is not working in nokia maps

Hi. I don't know if this topic was already discussed here. I didn't find it.
If I have activate the fm-transmitter in my car and nokia maps is running as well, the output of the music comes over the radio, but the output voice of nokia maps comes over the phone. If any advise comes from nokia maps, the connections interrupt via fm-transmitter completly. During the time of the nokia maps advise both, music and nokia maps, sending the sound via phone. Is there any possibility to avoid that problem?Thanks for any help.

This feature is not currently supported by Nokia Maps. (despite it being included in the previous versions of Ovi Maps)
Many Betalabs Users have been requesting this feature for a long time.
To add your support, please join nokia beta labs (if not already) and support the following post:
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-maps-suite-2-0/suggestion/48288/voice-navigation-over-fm-transm...
It is interesting to note that somewhere in the Nokia chain this request has been denied. I have suggested a petition from us (users) may give the Nokia development team the support they need to gain approval for this.

N97 Nokia Map

Hi guys,
Anyone know the application name list in the Installed Application:
(Setting --> Application MGR --> Installed apps.)
Nokia Map (7MB)
I uninstalled this application call Nokia Map and I free 7MB from the C.
But my MAP icon still found in the application menu and the MAP is still working fine.
Ohhhh dear, what had I done ?
I also don't know ........
This morning I notice the latest update of OVI MAP (9MB).
After I download the update from OVI and installed, the Nokia Map is appear in the Installed apps. list again with 7MB. shhhhhh
** the goal is to free more memory of my N97, I might uninstall all the application until the phone is NO MORE MEMORY FULL issue.
Best regards
Anderson

Despite the phone being short of RAM you DO need about 20 meg free on C for the phone to run reasonably quickley, there are 100's of threads advising on this, Opera Mini is NOT a memory hog (although Opera Mobile is) there is no need for an anti virus on a symbian phone it is simply a waste of space and resources. Do a search on the forum for optimising memory you will get lots of advice.

N97 nokia maps problem

hi everyone..
i desperately need some help here..
I've recently had my n97 software reflashed by a service centre as it kept crashing and was running really slowly. it's got the latest firmware on it but for some reason i can't download the new nokia maps v3. I'm still stuck with the **bleep** v1!
Called Nokia.. they promised a call back within 48 hours.. that was a week ago! Can anybody here help?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you can't update your software using Nokia Software Updater, then use OTA SW Updates on phone then the N97 mini version , which you can download to pc then drag and drop to phone will work fine, honestly, I've used it before and all the people I've suggested it to in the past have had no problems

Hello,
If anyone know about below points available in current version the kindly reply the way.

3. In Personalise view setting, add few more option to have quick access on front screen display.
4. When we open menu, we need to navigate using up-down-right-left key, instead after opening menu we can have keypad shortcut from 0 to 9 atleast.
5. For demo application, allow us access to remove once demo expired. This will freeup space.
6. Wall paper for active screen is already available to user to customize but we can not change wall paper for manu and when locked.
7. Mail application does not show bigger size mails.
8. If we rename any video file extention to say from video.3gp to video.txt but still video player detect that video. There is no way to hide any video or image or any file. Need to have some way.

Feature request, link contact to appointment, including mapping

Feature request for iPhone.
1. Ability to link a contact to an appointment.
I would like to be able to go to the calendar, and have a button that associates a contact with a scheduled appointment.
the goal is to be able to have the iPhone type the contact name into an appointment, and to have the map to their address, as well as their phone number, available from the appointment screen.
I do not like having to type in an appointment with the mechanic, and then when I need a map I have to go into the phone book and scroll to the entry.
I do like very much the new search feature on FW 2.0. I already have that feature on 1.1.4, using the program called Search downloaded from Installer.
But it would be much cleaner user interface if simply touching the appointment text field one could access the contact that is scheduled in that appointment.
for example, say on Friday at 1pm Im supposed to take my car to my mechanic. Go to calendar, touch the text entry field, click a new button that adds the contact name to the appointment field. Then save.
Then implement a button on the text field in the calendar, that when touched links to the contact, including their address info so it can be mapped.
In summary, the feature allows a user to paste a contact name into an appointment, and then use the contact name in the appointment to link back to the phone book, so I can use the mapping feature.
I hope that makes sense.

Feature request for radio on Nokia 5800

I sent some suggestions regarding Radio directly to Nokia but I'd like to post this request there as well so I can see what users think about this.
Also I'd like to know how many radio stations are available in your city. I have access to 27 stations but Nokia 5800 can store only 20 stations.
The original feature request is posted below. I made 2 mistakes but developers should be able to understand anyway.
1. The station list shouldn't display empty slots: there is no point in having gaps in the list and it makes the list longer even if some slots aren't used. The last slot should be displayed and named as "Add station"/"Empty" so user could add a new station at the end of list.
2. Add some basic functionality for organizing stations: "Sort by name", "Sort by frequency", "Move up", "Move down". The last two should be buttons rather then menu items so it would be easier to move station around.
3. Phone supports up to 20 stations and I have 27 stations in my city. It should be hard [note: I meant "should not be hard"] to increase this limit to 4294967296(2^32-1)[note: actually 4294967295]. It's not like we have to reserve space for these stations in advance and the list won't be filled with unused slots.
4. It would be nice to see RDS on Home Screen.
5. I have updated to V40.0.005 and RDS doesn't work anymore. Also Radio occasionally becomes frozen.
See /t5/Software-Updates/Nokia-5800-updated-to-V40-0-005-Radio-RDS/m-p/607102

This is a user to user forum so it is unlikely that anyone from Apple will see your post.
Try using "Provide iTunes feedback" on the iTunes help menu.
You can drag radio stations into a regular playlist if you want to keep ones you like together.

N97 MINI V12 Backup error with Nokia Maps Beta 3.0...

After installation nokia maps 3.06 beta on my fresh hardware reset n97 mini v12 is not possible to make backup from mobile to Memory card from File manager. Phone memory on C: is 220 MB.
With nokia maps 3.04 backup is ok, with 3.06 error: Memory full, operation canceled (kind)
I think firmware upgrade from v12 to v20 delay, the reason nokia maps 3.06 is not perfectly integred full functionaly in new firmware.

have the same problem. I think its a bug in SW 12.. , after a hard reset it worked well until I installed some programs (incl. Maps 3.06). Backup only with PC or Ovi Suite able to do.

Nokia Maps 3 - taken offline by Nokia for N97?

Pretty interesting now...
http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download-maps
I can't find the N97 in there anymore.
What happened?

The following statement was released RE: the removal of Maps 3.0 for N97:
The Ovi Maps 3.0 version for touch devices (Nokia N97) is temporarily not available via the Nokia Software Update and www.nokia.com/maps website as we are making adjustments to further improve the overall maps and navigation experience. We are certain that the application will be back in Nokia Software Update and www.nokia.com/maps website shortly where consumers can easily upgrade to the new version of Ovi Maps.

Although i work for Nokia, my opinions are my own!

Nokia 5310 Alarm Feature Request/Improvement

Hi,
I started using the Alarm with my Nokia recently. As alarm tone i selected a song. Unfortunatly the alarm switches itself off after 1 min? Can this be changed. It quite annoying if you sleep deep and cant hear the alarm or want to keep listening to the song while waking up.
It would be nice to have the alarm keep running. Or even make it play a playlist.
Solved!

Not doable, the phone will just repeat the alert tone when snoozed.

Nokia Maps (Navteq) from N96 to N97

Hi,
Is it possible to move Nokia Maps (Navteq) from N96 to N97 and how?

Map Loader tells me I'm using
Map Loader 3.0.28.0
Nokia N97 (Map version 0.1.22.103)
And the phone tells me I'm using
Maps 3.03(54) (from Betalabs).
There is no Services tab any more, and the Map Loader Help only tells me I can download Maps and Voices. The Help doesn't mention Services.
I got my 3 year Western Europe licence about 18 months ago, for my N95. As soon as I plugged my old sim into the N97, and ran Maps (2.0 at the time) it went off to the internet and "verified" the licence info.
At that time the Map Loader app had a brown interface, and didn't change for a long time. The Services tab gave a priced list of all the extras, and you could buy them through the app. It also explained that you had the choice of whether to link your license to the sim or the phone. I remember thinking it through at the time, and deciding to link it to the sim, because I still have my N95, and sometimes switch the sim into that phone. Since Ovi has taken over the app, all that choice and explanation has gone (at least for me).
Maybe I'm not seeing the Services tab because I'm using the Betalabs version 3.03(54)?
Edit:-
By the way, I used to get the Services tab when I linked to my N95 running Maps 2.0, but I don't remember the version of Map Loader I used at the time.
