Nokia Maps Current Poistion... but it is not where...

I just got a new Nokia E71, I have downloaded Nokia Maps and downloaded China, this is where I am this year. I went into the maps section on my phone and chose My Position last night and it went to where I was in Beijing, China with no problem, then before bed, being a boy with a new toy, I did it again but this time it went to some other location in Beijing, China and then I did it again and it went to another location... I decided to give my phone a rest and check again in the morning... well yes you guessed it, it came up with another location no where near where I really am...
What I want to know is...
WHY?
and
How do I fix it?
Thank you,
Shawn

Were you indoors when receiving these GPS readings? Might have been the culprit here.

Nokia Map Loader 1 .1 for Mac not working on Mac O...

Hi to everybody. I'm very angry with Nokia support (is there a support ?) about Mac. I'm talking about Nokia Map Loader with N82 with Ovi maps . I reformatted my memory card, started Nokia Map Loader to download and put maps on my memory card and every time i get an annoying message "File 80.cdt might be in use". I read in the forum that many other users have this problem and someone has found a long and complicated workaround. But is it possible that Nokia hasn't solved this problem ?
We've been waiting 2 years when Nokia announced a Mac Ovi suite program which never has been released. Of course, my next phone will probably be an Iphone .
Please Nokia, fix it .
Thank you very much for your attention.

ITunes randomly deleting content - the "!" shows beside them, but they are not where iTunes says they are

Hi - I find that iTunes has been randomly deleting some content (movies or songs) from my library. I'll go to play something and it will have an exclamation point beside it. Sometimes if I "Get Info" and locate the file, it will be there, and then play fine. But sometimes it is completely gone from the library (still listed with an exclamation point, but not in the file folder it was stored in). In that case, the location in the "get info" window shows as:
file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
Even if I view hidden files, I cannot find that folder location to move the content. The content is also not in the Trash, nor on the extrernal hard drive any more.
NO idea why this is happening, and can't figure out a pattern. Is anyone else having this issue, and/or found a solution?
As background, I'm on a MacBook Pro (2011), running OSX Lion. I sync an iPhone and an iPad2 to the iTunes library. iTunes is set to manage files automatically. The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
Thanks to anyone that can help!

file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
But that file location is your System Trash - you seem to have a problem with the permissions on your Trashes, either in your system Trash or the hidden Trash bin on your external drive.
See if any hints in this document help to locate the trash on your external drive:
Solving Trash Problems: http://thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html
The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
Do you mean your Library is stored on a network volume (Time Capsule)? Then network problems may be the reason for your dead tracks.

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 .

Transferred route from Nokia Maps to phone not the...

I planed a route on the Nokia Maps site with a couple of waypoints and some options (no toll roads, no motorways) to get it the way I wanted.
Then I did the synchronization of favorites on the phone and the route was there. But when I tried to open the route on the phone the "Calculating route" message appears and the route that shows up is COMPLETELY different from the one on the Nokia Maps: different roads, strange ways to get to the waypoints, ... In short I can not use this route on the phone as I would like.
Is there a way to transfer complete route AS IS from Nokia Maps to the phone Maps application?

Well I don't get it - why is there a need to do the route calculation twice? I would expect that once the route is calculated on a PC (including the directions) it would be transferred in some kind of way to the device as is (like transferring gpx files to the GPS device).
Anyway, even if it is so that the device recalculate the route once again I really don't understand why the same route gets completely different shape on the device then on the PC/Web. One would expect the calculation from the same provider (Nokia Maps) yields the same results regardless of where it is executed.

Cannot upgrade nokia map in n82

Can ny1 help me to upgade nokia map in N82...???

Hi godzilla12
You might have to try other method of hard resetting which is "the three finger reset" as detailed in second part of Paragraph 45 of FAQ to Nokia Software Updater here:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4577229#faq45
Unfortunately I would not suggest trying to install Nokia Maps v3.0 on your N82 as I found on my v30.0.019 that although application would run on a newly formatted phone as there is then sufficient memory, the available maps currently are lacking in detail in rural areas compared to those of v2 and are inadequate for my needs!

Nokia Maps lost after firmware update

I had Nokia Maps installed on my N73 some time ago, it worked without problems. Now when I updated the phone software to v4.735.3.0.2 it is included in the base software. But the new version (1.2) does not show any map data - only a blank screen (and the globe).
I use only the free parts - no network, no GPS, no guides. The maps I downloaded with Map Loader. It has a new version too, so I installed it, deleted the old maps and re-downloaded some of them. But they still do not show onscreen.
There is also a downloadable version of Nokia Maps 1.2, but it cannot install on the phone - some error appears. Neither can I uninstall the version on the phone - it says "Cannot delete file".
What is the problem? Is it that the phone language is Bulgarian, while the maps are in English (there are no maps in Bulgarian)? It was not a problem before, and the UI still appears in Buglarian.
Or, maybe there are some trays of the older version which I can delete manually. In fact, it was first installed in phone memory (so were the maps). Then, I moved the maps to the memory card, and after a previous phone software update, I installed the application on the memory card too.
Please help me find the maps. Thanks!

I managed to view the maps somehow:
1. Connect the USB in card reader mode
2. Download the maps using MapLoader
3. While the memory card is connected, copy and paste the \private\20001f63\diskcache folder to \cities\diskcache in Windows Explorer
4. Disconnect only from the tray icon on the desktop
5. The maps are now visible.
This is obviously not a perfect solution. The maps use double space on the memory card. The network cannot be used to update them, only Map Loader. After any download the steps above must be reapplied.
The application cannot be uninstalled/reinstalled. It seems all the problems appeared when Nokia Maps was included in the firmware and concern users which had installed it before on phone memory. I hope they will be resolved in next software update from Nokia.

2. I had installed some unsigned applications like Office Suite on my memory card. Will these applications be restored automatically when I insert the memory card after the hard reset?
3. What files should I be restoring on my phone after the hard reset. Data only or the settings as well?
4. Please confirm the sequence of steps to be followed:
a. Back-up phone
b. Remove memory card (?)
c. Make hard reset
d. Restore back-up (only Data ?)
e. Inset Memory card now (?)
f. any other steps to follow (?)
1) Are you backing up via Ovi Suite as well as to memory card? Sensible to remove memory card prior to reset although should not be necessary.
2) You may get prompt that application has not been installed and to go to application manager; at top of list there may be unrecognisable string letters/numbers as title but you will get confirmation of what application it is prior to installation when you click on it.
3) Provided everything was working satisfactorily prior to reset there should not be issue restoring data and settings.
4) a) Backup phone via Ovi Suite & to memory card
   b) Remove memory card
   c) Reset device
   d) Insert memory card and follow any instructions about unable to install applications
   e) Restore device from memory card
I would install new version of Ovi Maps quite early in restoration process to satisfy yourself that it is working.
I plan to back-up using Ovi Suite on to my laptop.
You suggest that I should also back-up to the Memory card. Please advice how to back-up to the Memory card.
Point no. 4 e) "Restore device from memory card" - I don't understand the meaning. Please can you elaborate.

Nokia Map loader 2 hangs on splash. Urgent pls hel...

using N85, PC SUITE 2.0.262.0
tried reinstalling map loader many times
nothing happens..
i am going overseas soon. need this working urgently.. pls advise.

Hi leobox1,
The latest PC suite version is 7.0.8.2. So if you are not using this, then uninstall the current PC suite and download the latest version.
Next, go to http://europe.nokia.com/A4984199, to update both the Nokia Maps in your N85 to version 2 and also download the latest Nokia Maps Loader version 2.0.2
Note: If your N85 is brand new, you must use your N85 GPS application at least once before you can use Nokia Map Loader.
Hope all these helps........

Nokia Map Loader doesn't recognize the 5800XM

Hello, I have a 5800 Xpress Music and I have downloaded some maps to it from Nokia Map Loader.
Now it is not working and in Nokia Map Loader it waits for the phone (it does not recognize it) when I connect it through USB.
In Nokia Ovi Suite it says that the phone does not work with Nokia Maps or that the maps and voice guidance and corrupted.
I went to make a trip with my car and the voice guidance worked properly.
I tried to download again the Map Loader and it installed the “maps_installer_3.03_1”. And Nokia Map Loader 3.0.28.0.
I have the firmware 50.0.005 downloaded too.
What can I do to download some more maps to my 5800?
I have looked for solutions in the forum but I did not find them.
Thanks

It seems that there is something wrong with the files in your phone. Run a disk check of your card on your PC. It may fix the problem.
If it doesnt, you will have to manually delete the voice and maps on your phone and recreate the folder structure.
Delete the cities folder and qf file on your memory card. Turn off phone and remove battery for 5min. Reboot phone then open maps application. Wait for it to recreate folder structure. Then reconnect to Ovi Suite and redownload the maps.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

The map data held by Navteq is update several times per year, though different sources are used, for example, there is some street-level information gathering but other methods used include taking data from the organisations responsible for maintianing maps in any given country, and also information provided by members of the public like yourself. You can report the missing data here:
http://mapreporter.navteq.com/?lang=en
A couple of things I hope Nokia considers (already?):
1. First of all, in my opinion the NavTeq reporting tool is quite messy and hard to comprehend (maybe it is just me). I have registered to it and reported a few findings like missing roads, roads that were on the map but did not really exist (anymore?), some deadends that in reality were open roads etc.
Reporting them through that web page was quite hard, and frankly I had no idea what subcategories (problem modifiers) I am supposed to select for e.g. reporting missing or non-existent roads.
2. Since Nokia owns NavTeq, shouldn't all the map/POI reports go directly through e.g. maps.ovi.com web page, not some NavTeq reporting tool? Now it seems there are two ways to report point of interests, either through NavTeq map reporting web page, or maps.ovi.com ("Good Things"). Why are there two different sites, and what is the difference? Do any of the "Good Things" in maps.ovi.com ever end up into NavTeq maps as POIs? Which tool should be used to report e.g. some nice hotel or restaurant you found abroad?
3. Further development: it should be possible to report these with the phone, because normally you notice these errors while you are on the road, and you don't have access to PC there. When you get home, you have probably already forgotten.
To make it more user-friendly, this "device reporting" could store the new POIs, map reports etc. into the device until next time the user goes online with the device/Ovi Maps (a bit like you can synchronize your Ovi Maps favourites nowadays), or connects the device to Ovi Suite. This is basically how e.g. TomTom One navigator worked, you could mark findings on the device, and they would be reported to TomTom when you connected the device to the TomTom Home application on your computer. This option is needed because many people use Ovi Maps in offline mode due to e.g. data roaming charges.
I think Nokia maps team should really concentrate on making the error/POI reporting more straightforward and userfriendly, because that is pretty much the only way to compete with the likes of Google (Maps) etc., where the user community is quite active. Hey, maybe Nokia could even give free Ovi Store credits to users who actively report new interesting POIs and map errors in Ovi Maps???

Nokia maps suite.. NEW

Nokia Maps Suite: Everything You Need To Know
The new ‘Nokia Maps Suite’ was arguably the biggest application release at the opening day of Nokia World 2011. The new suite brings ‘the future of location-based services’ to your fingertips. Designed with the commuter in mind, the new location software is the best way to travel on trams, trains and buses with worldwide coverage. Perfect for when the train, bus and tram break down and you need to use Nokia Maps to find your way on foot. Sharing is also a core competence of the new suite, the ‘Pulse’ application allows you to check in with friends and family on the go, presumably this is to ensure your finger is always on the pulse!
We are going to take you on a wild rollercoaster ride that explores the four main location-based software groups that complete the Nokia Maps Suite. Here is a quick overview for those that like to keep it top line, before we delve deep into each group:
1. Live View: A new augmented-reality browser that turns your phone’s camera viewfinder to help you spot places of interest.
2. Pulse: Enables you to privately share and discuss your location, photos and mood with friends and family.
3. Public Transport: You don’t need to work for CSI:Miami to solve this one. The Public Transport app tells you the most efficient way to get from A to B using public transport anywhere in the world.
4. Places: Once again, the clue is in the name, this app quite simply helps you discover places around you.
Nokia Live View via Nokia
Now it’s time to do some delving.
Live View
The above image highlights the most exciting feature of the Nokia Maps Suite. Some of you may have never used augumented-reality on your smart-phones before, so we thought we would give you a quick augumented-reality check. Augumented-reality essentially merges the worlds of online and offline. Take the street you work, live or study on, if you were to open the app and point the camera down the street, you would not only see the physical elements of a shop, restaurant or bar but you would see the virtual elements of the shop superimposed on your screen. By ‘virtual’ we mean the information about the shop that is available online. So this may include the shops name, the products it sells, the opening times and its exact location from where you are standing. Sounds pretty futuristic doesn’t it! If that explanation didn’t make any sense then here is a definition of augumented-reality. Augmented-reality used to be offered as a stand-alone application but now it joins the new Nokia Maps family.
If you are not comfortable using the camera view you can always switch to a list or map view of your surrounding area, but we think that takes the fun out of the whole app. There is also a great feature that lets you browse famous places from around the world.
Pulse
Pulse is a great new feature that lets you connect with friends and family in a private capacity. You don’t need to belong to a social network, you simply add your location with a post and everyone else you have added will see your latest activity. Your post could include text, a photo or your location. The app is private by default so there is no need to build a 10ft wall around your personal details. Nokia Pulse is also integrated with maps so as soon as a friend checks in nearby you can find out exactly how to reach them, or alternatively, exactly how to avoid them! Check out the video below, it explains everything about Pulse:
Nokia Pulse via Nokia
Public Transport
This is a great app for those of us travelling long distances on public transport everyday. It neatly combines several methods of public transport into one easy interface. So, if you know you might need to take a bus, tram or train on your travels, then all of the proposed timings, locations and routes required will be displayed. You may even be directed to walk some of the journey to reach your next form of public transport, unlucky! The app has ‘up-to-the-minute’ updates on all bus and tram routes in 45 cities and the device tracks public transportation directly on a mobile device in more than 430 cities worldwide.
Nokia Transport via Nokia
Places
Need to find a last minute Michelin Star restaurant for some new clients? Forgotten to get your wife flowers on your wedding anniversary? Or are you just bored of going to the same burger bar every Friday lunchtime? Well the Places app is a fantastic solution to these problems because it gets you to your desired and undiscovered destinations faster and more efficiently. You can check ratings and reviews for restaurants you are unsure about in a foreign land, get directional advice to the location you have chosen and then find the nearest taxi rank to grab a trip home. The software is designed to help you find locations in your local area that you may have previously been unaware of. Who knows, that burger bar you didnt know about behind your office could be alot tastier and better value for money than the one right in front of your office!
So, there you have it, our take on the new Nokia Maps software. We can’t wait to put some of these technologies into practice, in the meantime though we want you to tell us whether this sounds like the future of mapping and if not, why!? Do share!
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

OK I feel silly now. I just realized that the links to donwload maps manually work now...
I will try again to add them through Nokia Suite in 10 hours and I will use manual download if it does not work.
Thanks anyway and I advise everyone to download the whole world to be prepared for the moment where the server is unplugged.
