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.

    Hi IvanTsintsev,
    Thanks for your post and welcome to Nokia Discussions!
    Please perform a hard reset and software update with Nokia Suite to resolve this issue. 
    Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and make a back up via Tools > Back up. Don't tick the Settings box. 
    Disconnect your phone from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# and default security code 12345, unless you've changed this code yourself. When the phone has rebooted, reconnect to Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where you can update the phone's software. If no update is available, please reinstall the current software. This option will be displayed in blue. 
    When the phone has been updated, restore the back up via Tools > Restore and this should fix the issue. If you're still can't use maps, try uninstalling and reinstalling the maps through Nokia Suite.
    Let me know how you get on!

    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.

  • When I try to sync my iPhone 4s it no longer works.  I have a bunch of songs that now show up on my iPhone with a red circle with a box inside of it and they won't play, yet I can find them and play them on my Mac.  What do I do?

    My iphone 4s will no longer sync music from my music library on my Macbook Pro.  I also have a bunch of songs that now have a red circle with a box in it next to the song on my phone and those songs will not play.  They are present in my itunes library and I can play them on my Mac but they will not play on my iphone.  I have tried unchecking all the music and applying those changes and syncing and it does nothing.  All the same music remains on my phone, unchanged.  Help! What do I do? I have read to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it but will I lose all my music?

    Hello Courtney,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone.  It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

  • Nokia Maps - Postcode search is no longer working

    Please help!
    The is a post on the navigation and GPS section but I wanted to see if anyone on the main forum has experienced the problem, because we cannot find a solution.
    Up until the last few days whilst online when I searched for a post code on Nokia Maps the result was the full post code location. When I did the same search offline the result was truncated. ie bp11 4re became bp11 4.
    This is pretty useless in trying to locate anything using a post code.
    Today I noticed that whether I was online or not, the post code search always produced the shortened result.
    I have now searched on line and found nothing save for the post mentioned above. I have performed a hard reset and have the latest firmware for my phone (v12) I also have the latest version of maps v1.2.
    Please can someone shed some light on why this search facility has changed. Could it be something to do with the Nokia Server?

    A late reply but in case somebody is looking:
    /t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Nokia-Maps-Pos​tcode-search-is-no-longer-working/td-p/244168
    The last one suggests that a full postcode search needs an internet connection.
    This lead to a solution!
    In Maps, under Settings / General / Connection you have a choice of Online or Offline. If you have Offline then the search is limited as described, with the last two postcode characters ignored. If you have Online selected, then it works properly.
    So even though Nokia Maps are offline maps, the full postcode search is done on their server.

  • Nokia Map and Drive+ Beta on Lumina 920 Feedback

    So I took my new phone down to MD/DC area in the last few days and here are a few things that I would like to post as my feedback on what would be nice to have, fixes, etc.  [I used both my new Lumia 920 and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as comparsion).
    1. Highest priority for me is that the routes from Here.net need to be able to sync down to the phone.  Nothing more is more important then this because when you have a custom route that you want to use (for example, to route around high traffic or potential high traffic areas).
    2. Extremely disappointed that a new road in MD (MD 200) was not used by the Drive+ and didn't even show up on the map on my Lumia 920 while it was used and did show up on Google map.  This road is a toll road and is over a year old already.  [And yes, I have enabled toll road in the navigation as well as selected 'faster route' as the routing to use under smart routing].  I cannot stressed how disappointed I am to not see Nokia Map have this route at all.
    3. Allow route changes on the Nokia Drive+ app.  As good as pre-planned trip and using Here.net, there are just tmes that it's much better to allow us to change the route based on latest condition.
    4. Never once did I see ANY traffic updates at all on both the Map and Drive+ Beta.  When it does shows on my wife's Google's Map/Navigation.
    5. I love that under Drive+, it tells you which lane to get into ahead of when you need to make a turn or merge onto another way. However, the flip side of that is that there's no way to know which road you're currently on.  This is probably more important for when you're in an area with a lot of highway/local way intersections.  Also, it would be great if it also will display the next major 'road' that you will be getting onto.
    So far I'm happy with some of the functionality and disappointed in some of Nokia Map and Drive+ and I have about a week left to decide to either stay with WP9 and Nokia or do I want to switch back to Android and Google Map.

  • Problem with nokia maps N95 8Gb

    I've been trying to use the GPS navigation trough NOKIA MAPS but it doesn't work, in my phone's screen appears "the license has expired" or something like that. I'd like to know what i've to do to make it work. 
    Because Iv'e heard that tthe GPS navigation in other nokia models is free.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @seanwycherley
    Really doesn't sound good, you could go to Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Network > Network mode - see if changing from dual mode to UMTS or GSM makes any difference; could also try brand new SIM card in case contacts in device SIM holder getting a bit worn but probably clutching at straws!
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • If download of Nokia Maps doesn't work...

    ...then you can try the following.
    When I tried to download Nokia Maps from "nokia.mobi/maps" via "Web" with my E61i, once I clicked on "Accept Terms Service", the browser always took me back to the starting page with the red text "You must select your phone model". I tried this several times and it failed every time.
    Solution: use the "Services" icon instead (which is the phone's WAP browser), and then the download should work.
    Pretty weak of you Nokia to fail at this point...

  • Nokia Maps & problem with '#' button

    It looks like my '#' button changed its working in the Nokia Maps application. The pressing causes unpress and vice versa. So, when I release the button, it keeps zooming out until I press it again. Strange, because it works incorrectly only in this application.
    Maybe someone clever could give me a hint to solve my problem?
    I can observe it in the newest version of Nokia Maps and hard reset doesn't solve my problem.
    Please for some clues.

    Is it just a problem in the maps application? It sounds rather odd... the button may be sticking, so I'd recommend getting it to your nearest Nokia Service Centre as soon as possible

    Please, help me..thx
    Moderator's note: The post was moved to the most appropriate board.

    Answer to 3rd Question [ how to know if there's an update available for Nokia Map]
    1. You can check if your device has the latest compatible Map data simply by connecting your device to a PC running Nokia Suite and selecting View > Go To > Maps.
    2. If you are using Mac, download Map Loader for Mac and then check if there's an available update for Map data (applies only for Maps 3.04 and older, version 3.06 and later not supporting Map Loader for Mac).
    3. With Maps 3.06 and later you can check the availability of map data updates and do the update over Wi-Fi (WLAN) connection by selecting:
    Maps 3.06:Update > Check for updates.
    Maps 3.08 and later:Map Loader > Check for updates.

  • Cannot send some attachments or pictures red circle with line (FIXED)

    After three weeks working with support on an escalated ticket to find the resolution on some obscure site relating to something not specifically "Blackberry" I figured I should share.
    Problem:
    Cannot send attachments larger than... Not sure of specifics but well bellow our Exchange Max settings.
    Cannot send pictures as attachments. or forward some emails with embeded images
    Both cases would result in a red circle with a horizontal bar.
    Our environment:
    Exchange 2010
    IIS 6.0
    Blackberry (All up to date) devices connected to BDS
    After 3 weeks of sending logs and trying settings here is what I found on the internet:
    http://forums.iis.net/t/1169257.aspx
    http://tmoaikel.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/http-413-request-entity-too-large-in-iis-6-and-7/
    http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/serverruntime
    I will let you read the above but essentially the data BDS is trying to push through IIS is too large for the cache (from what I can tell). Finally here are the changes I made to our IIS applicationhost.config file (copy paste to the bottom bellow the last tag). I am certain the number is still very high but I want to make sure there is no more issues. I have enough users wanting to jump ship already, I don't want more.
    <location path="Default Web Site" overrideMode="Allow">
    <system.webServer>
    <asp />
    <serverRuntime uploadReadAheadSize=" 52428800" />
    </system.webServer>
    </location>

    I don't 100% know because we run all roles on one Exchange server.
    I referred to Exchange server in my previous post presuming you were running the CAS role on the Exchange server. If you have that running on another server, I would change it on there as well.
    Again, I can't see it doing any harm even if it isn't required!

  • Nokia Maps wrong language

    Hi, I have a problem with nokia maps on my N8 (latest version on belle refresh...) From a day to another, the categories submenu is now in english. My phone is set to italian. Everything else inside nokia map is in italian but under search > category everything is in english (i.e. Restaurant, Eat & Drink). I've tried to set the phone in english and then back to italian and also a soft reset with no luck. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem as Thomas340 but with different language sets! :-)... My E7-00 is of the latest software (belle refresh) version and I have also (when Nokia Suite has prompted) the latest Map software. In only carry Finland, Sweden and Estonia as downloaded maps on the phone.
    The user phone language is set as Finnish and the Nokia Maps category (when search by browsing) is in English. Even the category listing under what-icons-to-show setting is in Finnish. This is confusing and I need to change the borwse category lsiting into Finnish, the English listing is logically hard to use. It would be nice if there would be a solution where I just "update" it back to Finnish-category situation ... but I am willing to try anything!!! How did this "problem" arise...I wonder??? It would be nice to know why this happened, so to avoid it in the future!!!!

  • Does Nokia Maps need to be online to work sometime...

    Hi all,
    I am very confused about the use of the free Nokia Maps applications. I have an N97 mini, and I was using the maps application throughout Egypt last week.
    I had the settings placed "offline", and the application would open and would work fine, but whenever I did a search for a place, most times it would not find the place. Even common street names or popular tourist sites, could not be found offline. I then changed the settings to "online", and when I would do the same searches, it now would fine the places and streets.
    However, when I checked my mobile phone provider account, using the "online" mode was using up all my phone credit. 
    So I am confused about whether I must be online to use the Nokia Maps application to find places, or should it work offline. What is the difference? And why does Nokia tell us its free, if in fact it uses up my phone account's data to find places that should already be in the maps application?
    So I have 3 main questions I am unsure about:
    1. Do i need to be online to search for some places, as it seems that offline it does not find all places?
    2. If I am online, should it be charging me, or should it still be free?
    3. When I update the maps, as I did, should that not include all the places on the maps that I find in online mode? Or are some places only found if I an online?
    I must say we had so many problems using the maps application throughout Egypt- I do not recommend it to anyone for this place. It got us lost so many times, and once we ended up in some isolated poverty stricken town near the Pyramids of Sakkara- it was hell getting back! And it only worked when I went into online mode, and used up all my phone credit.

    Refer these threads..

  • Transfer to MacBook via Target Disc Mode Get red Circle

    I'm doing a transfer of HD from iBook to my MacBook and I'm seeing that all my folders within my username box all have the red circle with the white minus symbol in the middle. These red circles appear on my iBook's desktop, documents, library, movies etc, What does that mean? I hope it's not deleted them, I did a migration using the assistant and my photo's and music did not transfer.

    This is what you see when you are not logged into the account - it means you don't have permission to access them. It sounds as if you created a user account on your Macbook before running Migration Assistant. If this had the same name as your older user account then on migration the name has probably been changed to the same thing with a -1 on the end. Log out of what you are currently in and try logging in to this account.

    How do I get rid of this red square with the red circle? It only shows on the right side of the song on my playlist and the song won't play. My playlist now skips 10/12songs before it plays another. When I checked iTunes on my computer there is nothing changed on the playlist. I downloaded the latest iTunes and synced the phone again but still nothing. I do not want to have to restore and do this all again. Help.
