Download the Entire Ovi Maps Database?

Just because I want to, I'd like to be able to download the entire Ovi maps database - every detail of every corner of the Earth, not just all the cities/countries available in Nokia Software Updater, which I've already gotten. I figure that if all the roadways of every country in the world only occupy about 7-8GB on my 32GB drive, adding the terrain of the remaining unpaved/uninhabited regions of the world shouldn't add that much more. Or, at least less than I have available room on my drive. Is there an easy way to do this?

On a related question I have downloaded ALL countries (around 9.7GB) but then the various REGIONS show the "Download" icon still active? My question is that if I have downloaded a country do I still need to download the regions as sizewise the data would appear to be already there.
A check on one particular country/region/site (Beijing) showed no change from when I had "China" & then downloaded "Beijing" although the software happily loads this extra data onto the card. Now after having added about half the "regions" (worldwide) the card has over 15GB used (of 32).
Am I correct in my assumption that "Country" covers ALL regions? Unfortunately this isn't explained anywhere & adding all of this data is most likely useless & could in fact slow down mapping!

Nokia Maps for Australia - big flaws.

I have an N96 and I have to say, the Nokia Maps leaves a lot to be desired.
First of all, it can take a good 15-20 minutes before my phone will even get a satellite lock and tell me where I am.
The user interface in Maps 2.0 is as clear as mud. Nokia needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Why it cannot take the same, easy process like a dedicated GPS unit I don't know. For a start, to enter a street number, you cannot press the # key to go into number mode, because that key is used for zooming in and out of the map. This defies everything else on the N96 in terms of user interface. I discovered you need to cycle through the letters until you reach the number.
For some reason, some streets that I KNOW EXIST, like Phillip Street in Sydney - one of Sydney's main streets - does not appear in the search when you look it up! It shows on the map, but you cannot find in the search. Ridiculous!
Also, the navigation is not at all smart. I was trying to get to Raglan Street, Balmoral NSW as I was coming out of the city. The navigation software made me turn left at Cremorne, turn left again, and left again, trying to get me to cross Military Road in a way that would have gotten me a ticket (or killed) had I obeyed. Useless. It wasn't even the most direct route either, as I discovered once I'd got to my destination.
Worse, was that the phone rebooted twice while I was trying to voice dial using my bluetooth headset. Not very helpful. Voice System Errors abound in this phone.
Furthermore, the integration between Maps and the phone functions are very poor. Since the voice dialling on the N96 is not good anyway, sometime you hear the bleep, sometimes you don't, so you have no idea when to speak and when the phone is listening, and if you can do all that without the phonc crashing (I'm using 11.101 firmware) then you're a better person than me.
Now, Nokia wants us to pay $130 per year for this rubbish. My advice is to forget using your phone for navigation. It's way too unreliable. Put the money towards a proper GPS unit and just keep the N96 Maps 2.0 for novelty purposes only. It really isn't worth it.

Poor Sod/N96 Owner
Nokia: Connecting People... with iPhones.

The Nokia GPS receiver is low powered and hence not very sensitive. This is why there is an AGPS function which when activated will dramatically time to first fix. AGPS requires data connection to work.
If you press and hold any of the numerical keys on your keypad, it will go straight to the number. There is no need to cycle.
The search is a little funny at times. My tip is to keep the search vague, i.e. search for Phillip instead of Phillip Street. It may have something to do with the fact that Phillip street may be listed as Phillip St on the database.
There are a few navigation modes such as fastest, optimised, shortest. Try them out to pick the one that best suits you.
I use Voice Commands all the time. It is a little bit troublesome at the start while the phone learns your accent. It took me about a month before I could say I was happy. Nowadays it works about 99% of the time.
I use my phone sat nav as a backup to the unit I have in my BMW. I can't say that one is much better than the other. Both have their idiosyncrasies. The BMW unit leads me up the garden path as often as the Nokia. I do use the Nokia extensively when I travel abroad. The N96 was exemplary on my recent fly drive trip to spain.
I pay £200 twice a year for map updates for my BWW unit so I don't really complain about the Nokia charges because all the map updates are free.

Nokia Maps - is it now almost useless ?

Over the recent years I've owned various Nokias. A N95, a N95 8gb, a N96 and now a 5800. Throughout all these Nokias I've used Nokia Maps. I felt a compulsion to try and see how competent their navigation software was. I also at the same time tried Navigon and TomTom, often because the Nokia Maps application could not be trusted.
I first noticed with the 5800 that postcode searches were now reduced to 4 characters ie PR3 4GH now returns PR3 4 - this inacuracy could be about 1/2 a mile from where you need to be. On all my other Nokias using Nokia Maps the postcode search searched on the full postcode.
I wrote to Nokia and was first informed that the postcode search had always been truncated (it had not) and my second email received the reply that Nokia now only returned the first four characters of the postcode search.
From my experience and by way of a comparison TomTom and Navigon both return full postcodes when searched.
Like a lot of others I have paid for drive and walk for the UK and also traffic subscription. Now as I have to enter the full details of where I want to go I feel that navigation is now rather pointless - you need to know exactly where you are going before entering the details into Nokia Maps - to be shown where to go.
If Nokia now only do offer truncated postcode searches and have no plans to do differently I would strongly advise owners of Nokias with Nokia Maps to not purchase the drive and walk option.
I am very dissapointed that Nokia have taken this approach to Nokia Maps, their maps are provided by Teleatlas and only recently they aquired GMBH (?) to strengthen their navigation arm. Also they are developing Nokia Maps 3 - why bother Nokia - it's an inacurate, unreliable piece of software.
I'm posting this also on the All About Symbian thread - I feel strongly about this - I want Nokia to take note and reverse their decision.
Come on Nokia - offer full postcode searches on Nokia Maps - you know it makes sense !
Any thoughts anyone ?

Hi chazzle
You raise some interesting issues here although from a global perspective the UK is fairly unique in having such a detailed postcode (zipcode) database because it is so densely populated in areas. I might add that I also use Tomtom Navigator 6 with it's UK postcode zip file, although as you are well aware mapping is now unfortunately rather out of date. Since Nokia Maps v2.0 mapping has been provided by Navteq acquisition although TeleAtlas provided for Smart2go > Nokia Maps v1.0. You would be very disappointed by present UK coverage in Nokia Maps v3.0Beta in rural areas if you gave it a go.
As Ford of Europe has chosen Navtek for provision of Bluetooth Mobile Navigation it will be interesting to see how this develops in this regard:
http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Ford-innovates-with-hybrid-phone-in-dash-navigation-system_a1247.html
Whilst I can accept that you feel aggrieved by this deficiency the direction now seems to be more of developing location based social network applications and as far as Nokia's growth in say China and India is concerned ownership of a car will for many remain out of reach or purpose.

Ovi Maps and Nokia Maps - do I need both?

I am sure this question has been asked already but I cannot find it having spent some time doing a search.
The question is do I need both or can I dispense with one? If so, with what consequences?
The position is that I tried to update Ovi maps but couldn't because there was insufficient space on drive C, so I thought I would delete it and then I would be able to install the new version. Unfortunately wrong again - still insufficient space on drive C. Hence my question - do I need both maps? Life would be easier just with Nokia maps in the circumstances.

Thanks. Can I take it that Nokia Maps is pre-installed? Would I be correct in concluding that I can delete Ovi Maps to save space and just update Nokia Maps from time to time?
If Nokia Maps is not updated from time to time I would need to install Ovi Maps to keep up-to-date?
I have I think deleted Ovi Maps but I still have Maps. In fact I am fairly certain I have all the maps I downloaded from OVi Maps. When I run Maps the screen refers to "Ovi Maps". Perhaps I haven't uninstalled Ovi Maps at all although the programme said that I had! Perhaps it is Ovi Maps that is pre-installed.
Sorry but I remain confused and hope I can through this tread clear it up once and for all.

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

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-Postcode-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!

@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!

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...

A very strange thing happening with Nokia Map Load...

I am trying to load new maps onto my x6.
When I click on Nokia Map Loader it tells me that another instance of the programme is running and that I need to close that one down first.
But this is not the case. I have no other programmes running.
It mentioned that I might have the maps updater programme running. Again that wasn't true.
I uninstalled both and started again.
Same problem.
I try launching map loader through pc suite. Same thing.
I am really flummoxed and I hope someone can help.
Thank you.

Did you set up "hot corners" for Expose?
I bet you have the up/left corner set for "Application Windows" then when you move over and have no apps open you get the warning noise. When you move slowly you just don't hit the corner to triger expose

Urgent help. Nokia Maps... Asha 309

I am unable to download and install offline maps... Says the data on memory card maybe corrupt. How do I fix.
Tried reinstalling software...
Help..!
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just opening Nokia Maps application with newly formatted memory card should create the necessary folder structure to be recognised by Nokia Suite. You could try copying existing E:\cities and .qf file if present on memory card to folder on your PC for safe keeping and delete these from memory card and re-open Maps and try again to download regional mapping.

Special characters issue with Nokia Maps on N95

Hi there,
when using Navigation in conjunction with Nokia Maps on my N95, all streets and towns which contain any special character in their name (for example: é, è, ü, ä, ö, etc…) do appear as unreadable garbage on the screen of the N95.
I only noticed the problem after having purchased the 3 years license Navigation upgrade (EUR 99.99) and immediately notified Nokia. That was back in October. Since then I have called them at least 10 times and ultimately I have asked for a refund as no solution is still available.
In all these calls with Nokia, the only reasonable argument I heard was that maybe (!!!) the new software update version 20.0.015 released back at the end of November could solve the issue. Unfortunately, for my phone (which is a branded one) the update is not yet available.
Today, after calling them again, I was told that Nokia’s policies do not foresee refunds and therefore my request has been rejected. I was told to bring my phone to a Nokia Store and see if they can help me (I don’t see how). I was also told that maybe I would have to send-in the phone for repair.
This is soooo frustrating that despite the 3 months of patience and all the money spent for the N95 (not quite cheap), the navigation upgrade and the phone calls to Nokia, I still have the same issue. I will probably end up filing a complaint with a monthly consumer’s magazine in the hope they will publish my story.
After all, it may not even be Nokia’s fault but rather the guys who are responsible for the maps, but if Nokia accepts to have a commercial venture with a vendor, than they also accept liability for the joint product. And by turning down my legitimate request for refund, they have proven not to give a **bleep** about people like you and me.
Forgive me for the long post - needed to release some of the frustration...

I have been using an N95-8GB since Nov.'07. From my experience with this phone that has a built-in mass memory besides the phone memory. I had trouble retrieving some of the softwares I have installed. For eg. I have saved some themes in the mass memory & I could not find it when I want to delete it. There are some 3rd parties games software inside where I cannot even delete
This is what I don't like about the phone. I have bought an N82/Black recently as it uses an external memory card.
Coming back to Nokia maps. Personnaly, I don't think they are that good & I have problem downloading it into my phone from my PC after having downloaded it from Nokia.
By the way the Nokia map is not even the latest map 2.0. Is still a 1.0
I used Navfone map software & it works OK in the 8GB. You have to purchase it.
I have used a couple of N-series phones in the past ie. N-90, N-70, N-71, N-73, N-80/Black, N95, N-95/8GB & now N-82.
Common with all N-series phones. After you have disconnected when you are done with your call you have to wait for a while before the word "disconnected" disappears.
The more features it has, the more problem you are gonna to encounter.
Unless you want to download softwares into your phone & have a good camera thats where the N series phones come in.
For normal usage, a 40 series phone will suffice.
