Nokia maps memory

when i use nokia maps on my 5320, a message saying 'not enough memory please close other applications' pops up every few seconds, i have pre loaded all maps and it mostly happens when searching for places.
any advice?

It is referring to free phone memory, you would need to backup essential data with Nokia Suite and return device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user), provided that deleting browser history and removing unwanted messages/email does not suffice.

Memory Full on using Nokia Maps v3.06

Of late post the latest firmware update, Nokia Maps is annoying me very much with "Memory Full. Close some applications" error message when I keep driving only within about 5 minutes of initiating the navigation. When I intitate the application, I have about 48MB of free RAM on my N97 Mini which is very quickly consumed by maps. This is too irritating when you're driving and especially when you're in a new place where you need a lot of assistance from GPS. Loat hopes in Nokia and Symbian these days due to multiple problems... Have tried factory reset/full format etc., but no go. Any help?

I agree with the fact that Nokia maps is very (too?) sensitive for RAM problems. Ater using Nokia maps to my satisfaction during my holiday in Australia (where we hired a campervan for 3 weeks), for the last month it was hardly possible to start the application (let alone to calculate a route) without getting memory problems. On the last trip where I used Nokia maps, I had to press OK after a low memory message from the phone for about 30 times WHILE driving to keep the navigation working. The message seemed to appear mostly on busy parts of the route like highway crossings.
It took me a while to solve these problems and now Nokia maps seems to work OK again, at least on short trips. I did tried one longer trip (170 km) and it seemed to work OK too.
What did I do?
1. I uninstalled all apps that I don't really use / need to free up phone memory and RAM. This includes Nokia email, which takes a lot of phone memory. Instead I installed a 3rd party email app (Profimail) which can save alle messages on the memorycard AND download complete messages (no Nokia app on my C5-03 can do that!).
2. I installed an app (PhoNetInfo) that can monitor RAM usage (and a lot of other things) to see which remaining apps use a lot of memory. You have to pay for the most recent version, but the version before that is free on their website.
3. It turned out that Whatsapp doesn't only use a lot of phone memory (6 MB), but also a lot of RAM. I uninstalled it although I used it occasionally and I liked it.
4. After this I had about 40MB of RAM free (and also 40 MB of phone memory) after starting my phone. (No apps loading on startup)
5. With the "memory app" PhoNetInfo loaded, I started Nokia apps a few times, calculating a route, to see what happened to my RAM. It seems to be about optimal in my situation to set the "Maximum memory used" slider to 20% (!). This way, my phone has about 10 MB of RAM free with Nokia maps running. You can find this slider in the Nokia Map options under Map.
6. From that moment on, I always reset my phone before using Nokia maps. Simply to make sure that the maximum of memory will be free.
So far, it doesn't seem to make much difference for the RAM usage whether you use "extra" options like assisted GPS or traffic information. I am definitely going to try the "app killer". This may work instead of resetting my phone every time before I start navigating.

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

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.

Nokia Maps 2.0 don't show maps on N95

Installed the latest firmware on the N95 (V21.0.016 14-02-08 RM-159 A5.01), formatted the memory card, installed Nokia Maps 2.0 (v2.0wk21b02), started it (in order for MapLoader to work properly), installed MapLoader 1.3.8, installed the swiss and german maps via MapLoader (the files are definitively in the 'cities' directory on the memory card), rebooted the phone then started the maps application again. The GPS works find but no map is displayed (even though I'm in Switzerland, everything is just green background, no matter what kind of view (satellite, hybrid, 3d, normal) I choose.
What's wrong? Bad quality assurance?

I got it working!!! I sure hope this helps you all too!!!!
Firstly, make sure you go to the app. manager on your phone (usually found in the applications folder) and delete the nokia maps 2 from there.
Also reformat your memory card.
Then do what needtogetfit posted but I've made it step by step for ppl like me LOL):
Connect your phone to your computer using the "data transfer" NOT PC Suite. A folder should show up, if not, go to 'my computer' and it will be there as "memory card" or whatever you have named your card.
Open it and you will see a few files in there. Make sure you delete the folder "cities" or "diskcashe" if it is still there and also delete a file called qf-file. (for some reason they seem to stay there even after a reformat etc and that's what seems to stop the maps from being seen properly)
I also made sure I had 'show hidden files' checked in the tools/folder options/view so I could see if they were hidden or not.
I then installed the nokia maps from my computer onto my phone via PC suite.
Open up your maps (it may take awhile cause it's starting a new directory structure on your memory card to replace the ones you deleted)... and allow it to connect to the internet briefly so you can get satellite coverage. (dont panic, you will still only see a green page, but if you zoom out you should at least now see your country etc)
Once you've done that, close and connect your phone to your computer using the "data transfer" and open up the map loader program and download your countries maps + voices you may want.
Once done, go back to your maps and you will find that all the streets will be showing once again!!
I hope this helps, it worked for me and I tried it on two different reformatted cards that weren't working before this.

N95 v21.0.016 after using Nokia Maps 2.0 Beta on v...

After updating software Nokia Maps returns to v1.2 wk48 b01 and of course maps in E:/Cities need to be deleted and old maps downloaded using Maploader v1.3 after running Nokia Maps to define folder structure. However on a microSDHC with 708.5Mb space left for maps(Maploader definition) it allows me to download and install a 20Mb map but after downloading a further 120Mb map it won't let it install with the message "Your local drive might be full or your access rights are insufficient".
This is of course great news when you've wasted about an hour downloading it!

Why did you not choose to stay with the 2.0 Beta version?
Hi harrykaa
Essentially so that I am aware of the problems (if any) experienced by users of N95 with the version of Nokia Maps pre-installed in v21.0.016
The answer to my problem was to replace the existing "diskcache" folder in "Cities" with one I found on an older memory card, just wish I had thought of this solution sooner.

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.

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.

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.

Nokia maps 1.0 - india maps, Maharashtra and Goa

Hi all,
I want to download india maps and specifically maps of Maharashtra and Goa. I bought a Nokia C2-03 (dual-sim) recently and have been trying to download maps via Nokia Ovi Suite 3.1.1.90 but it has been a failure.
The device itself does not have much memory but do have a memory card. Does anybody know how :-
a. I can download and install the Maharashtra and Goa map in the memory card ?
b. A link from where I can download the map. I did see this link given /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Maps-Data-File-size-discrepancy/m-p/1166517/message-uid/1166517/highligh... but unfortunately it seems for a different version of Nokia maps .
c. Am I correct in assuming its Nokia maps 1.0 . This I came to know via Menu > Maps > Options > About where it says Maps 1.0 www.nokia.com/maps/support
maps.nokia.com

All and any help and clarity on the above would be helpful.

@shirishag75
Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately S40 devices use Nokia Maps 1.0 for which available mapping is a lot less detailed; presumably you have inserted memory card and opened Nokia Maps application at least once upon your C2-03 to initialise application? At this point Ovi Suite > Maps should recognise memory card and offer you maps to download but not always so.
That said Series 40 Ovi Maps 2.1 is variable in implementation and if device supplied with local maps installed upon memory card there doesn't seem an issue adding more maps but real issues if no maps with it sometimes.
You could look at this Nokia resource:http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/how-to/how-to-use-maps-for-s40

Nokia Maps Icon Missing?

Good day everyone.
i have just bought this new Nokia Asha 303 phone and i thought the software installed in the phone is incomplete because i cant seem to find the shortcut for nokia maps. I installed the nokia suite in my pc and check for software updates and it is up to date. I already tried factory reset, but nothing, still the same. Is it possible to restore the missing icon? thanks for any help.
sorry for bad english

Right after having my new phone I started exploring its possibilities testing applications from Ovi store. At some point I got some problems with an application so I decided it would be a good idea to try a reset... I first try with an app settings reset to defaults (from the s40 Configuration menu, not the Restoring Factory Defaults menu)... right after that I realized I didn't have Nokia Maps icon in any of the lists of installed applications, nor I could found any loader in both file units, phone and memory card, for it... I was not 100% sure the icon vanished after settings reset, but I supposed it, so I thought something went definitely wrong and I decided to try reset to factory defaults as I just started testing the phone so I hadn't any information saved there to lose... what I could not expect it's that a factory reset will not yield the software at the same very state as what I received short time before. In addition to not getting back the Nokia Maps icon, I noticed another difference in the system, I have an Introduction icon in the list of default applications, that triggers a video playback showing the phone basics... now when I push that button, the playback starts but only for the audio, and instead of the video I show a black screen with a NOKIA logo in the center, the same very screen I see when boot up the phone. I've seen https://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/nokia-maps-suite/bugreport/46316/nokia-map-icon-missing-after-inst... this problem is not happening only on s40 OS phones, but at least on Symbian^3 phones they had a stand alone installer to install back the app http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-08 Something like this seems what s40 OS phone users like me are needing.

Older verzion of Nokia Maps freezing + some more p...

Hi,
Im planing to buy Nokia N8, but until the Xmass I need still to use my N79, which is great, but all the times I have some problems with Maps. Its old verzion (No2, I think 2.01 or something like that). I had to still pay few Euros to activate them.
Now for some time I have been using them , all worked great.
In last days they started to freeze. But only the navigation, lokator of the position seemed ok, so I searched for the addres, navigation started and upss.....freeze.
Sometimes when I restarted phone, but I think only included batery taken off, it started to work. But imidiatelly when I stoped navigation and started new one, again freeze.
So I started to try to change settings, one of them>> usage of the phone memory, I put it from 70% to 90% and now I cant even to switch Maps on. It openes the Maps, but directly goes back to stand by display position (Maps switches off), so I even cant to set it back , if I try to open maps one more time, it freezes whole phone, so I have to restart it.
What should I do??
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.

Hi karlitos
You don't happen to have a spare memory card around as it sounds as if mapping data corrupted? For older versions of Nokia Maps they are stored in E:/Private/20001f63/diskcache.
Might suggest temporary removal to safe place, run Nokia Maps again to re-define necessary folder structure and re-download regional maps.
