I've just upgraded to Belle on my N8 (did a three finger reset and factory reset - then reinstalled Belle again)
i now go to the maps section and can no longer sync my favorites is it a known issue? is there a fix/ workaround ?anyone else have the same issue?
Your help and advice would be most helpful

@Flexibug
Carrying out three finger reset upon Symbian S^3 device can still have repercussions and not to be undertaken lightly. Are there any issues with Nokia unified sign-in such as Nokia Store as well as Nokia Maps?
Certainly no issues with synchronising in Maps applicvation:

Nokia Suite does NOT backup map favorites. Belle u...

I recently updated my E7-00 from Anna to Belle and lost all my map favorites in the process.
Although I did a full backup of my phone before the update I have since found out that Nokia Suite does not backup map favorites.
The Belle update did NOT make a copy of my map favorites, it wiped them out completely.
Nowhere have I seen that information before. When I updated to Anna I did not lose my map favorites.
There should be a warning about this before starting the Belle update.
The Belle Update FAQ states that after the update one of the things one can do immediately is access map favorites - NOT!
I have since learned, by searching online, that I am expected to sync my map favorites online with a Nokia server. I do not want to store my confidential information on someone else's server. Additionally, I don't pay for data service because it is so expensive here in Canada. So I would have to connect my phone via USB to my PC.
Nokia Suite backs up my contacts, photos,music, documents, etc. Why not my map favorites? In fact I store my music, photos, documents, and even contact information separate from my phone so I don't need Nokia Suite for that. But how do I copy my GPS coordinates off my phone for backup?
2nd level tech support suggested I recreate them all by browsing the maps on my phone and selecting the locations. That is so inaccurate, time consuming, and wrong. Supposedly they have passed my problem onto 3rd level tech support.
Does anyone know if one can import map coordinates into a symbian phone? I have many of the locations stored in another GPS application on a laptop. I can export them from there. That would be a partial solution.
Thanks.
Note: cross posted under Discussions Main Page > Software > Nokia Suite

I might suggest a Wi-Fi connection for access to the 'net, but let me assume that storing anything on a different server is not an option. So, what remains...
The least expensive, and simplest, method would be for you to buy any second Nokia phone that runs Nokia Maps. I use Nokia's Phone Switch technology to transfer all my maps data to a second phone. I'll have to do it again, so I can give you specific instructions on the "how", but the bottom line is it does work.
As to importing and exporting GPS Coordinates, I learned by accident that you can enter favorites by using GPS coordinates - and can also find the coordinates for something you have already entered.
A free program that I think is invaluable for using Maps on a Nokia, especially the N8, is "LeGPSData2". I used their older version for years, until the certificate expired and I was unable to upload it to my N8, but the new version is considerably better. You might find a way to do other things you mentioned with that program - and if not, you might suggest them (import/export) to the program author.
If you are as careful as you suggest you are, don't you have backups that you've already done on your PC? Have you tried to find your GPS data in those backups?
I can't speak for others, but regardless of what Nokia saiys would or woud not happen during the phone update, I don't "trust" any of it. I did my own backups two ways, as a complete bacakup on the PC, and as a phone backup on the memory card. I "think" but can't confirm, that the GPS data was backed up by both of them.
You're right - Nokia should fix the Belle installation script to also backup and re-install the maps data, if there is something wrong, but on my phone it did it all correctly following their instructions (in addition to my other backups, which I never needed).
If I get some free time, I'll see if I can get the import/export to work using Maps and LeGPSData2. It would be nice to do this to one location, multiple locations, or all locations. It would be nice to send this data to another phone directly, or to save it as a file.

E7, belle & Nokia Maps & Navigation

I have an issue with the maps application which has only become apparent following the upgrade to Belle. When I search for a place by postcode, touch the tick, the application searches for and displays the location. If I then try to save this location in favorites by typing a friendly name at the text entry line and then touch the tick to save it the display cycles back to "save as" again. Once here this loop continues ad infinitum. What is the correct way of adding a destination to the navigation app without getting stuck in this save as loop? Will this buggette be fixed in a future update to either Nokia Maps or Belle?

Licences are now 30 and 90 days plus a full year, I believe this is effective from Maps 2.0 onwards.

Nokia drive 3.0 unable to sync favorites

Is there a way to sync Drive3.0 Favorites to Nokia account? If not how can I transfer favourites from Nokia Maps ?

It might be me, but if Nokia maps is installed on my Lumia 800 and the favourites are synced and stored on my phone, I would have thought Nokia Maps & Nokia Drive (both by Nokia) apps could access these synced favourites, after all what is the point on having to enter every destination for 'drive' when it's already stored by you in the 'maps' app. This does to things: 1. Annoys people having to enter things twice. 2. Wastes storage space on the phone (even though it might only be a small ammount). Also Nokia maps on my C6 seems more accurate, as I live at number 9 and my C6 says either 11 or 13, but Nokia Drive says number 24. Which is on the other side of the street and 5 houses away. Even my Garmin says number 11. It's. A pitty that all Satnav units and apps could not allow the user to calibrate then to there exact position. E.G. while outside our home, use a calibration option and press cursors until it shows the exact location. From then on everything should be correctly displayed.

Using Nokia Maps favorites into Nokia Drive

Hello everyone,
is there a way to use my Nokia maps favorites into Nokia drive ?, i don't understand why we don't still have that option in a menu somewhere already.
Thank you for your help

Which lumia have you got? If you have a wp8 device and the latest Nokia Maps update you should be able to access your favourites using Nokia Maps and navigate from there which will automatically start Nokia Drve.

Nokia 500 Review on Symbian Belle

After the update screen went through, I had my fingers crossed, and despite the screen saying “15 minutes remaining,” the update was finished in about 5 minutes.
Upon startup, there was a line of dots (….) which lighted up on after the other sort of like a loading bar and it was. After the loading came the usual language selection and Ovi suite options (“Create an Ovi Account” “I have an account” and of course “Later.”) after going through the Ovi suite options (literally took 10 seconds) my carrier had charged me about 0.45cents (USD cents) for the tips I had signed up on while I still had Symbian Anna on the device. Nokia suite was installing support software after the phone booted up and after 5 more minutes, I set the date, time and location and I was presented with the home screen. The standard home screen as on other Belle devices with the Flip clock, Ovi Social widget and 4 icons (Camera, contacts, Angry birds [oh yea!] and Maps) at the last widget’s position; at the bottom edge of the screen are menu, call and home screen options. The widgets take a few seconds to load but once they load they don’t lag. The second home screen has “Favorite contacts” widgets and 4 more icons (Messaging, Store, Calendar and Web), the third home screen has a Music player widget and the 4th home screen is blank for the user to customize. Unlike other Nokia/Symbian Belle devices, the Nokia 500 only has 4 home screens as opposed to 6.
The lock screen is similar to the Anna screen and is only redesigned. The Belle home screen allows usage of a background unlike Symbian Anna’s.
Now the menu: unlike Symbian Anna, the menu does not have an applications folder so everything is spread out on the home screen creating a mini mess. Luckily, there is an option to create a new folder in which to put your apps in.
In Symbian Anna, the keypad for ‘Call’ was not very user friendly as the ‘*’ and ‘#’ where not where they would be on a physical alphanumerical keypad, but on Belle, the keypad is identical to the physical one and very responsive.
Apps:
While Symbian Anna lagged on the Nokia 500, Nokia Belle is very smooth. I don’t see any major changes with the camera on the 500 and the quality remains the same. There have been some rumors going around about the Nokia 500 getting HD video with the Belle update but these rumors are not true and the Nokia 500 remains with the usual 640p*313p video. While on Symbian Anna, there was no ‘Gallery’ icon but there is one on Symbian Belle and a separate ‘Videos’ icon is there too for easy access to downloaded videos (yes downloaded videos or those NOT taken with the phone’s camera). The angry birds app is a hugely wanted app for the Nokia 500 and is very identical to the computer version. Actually, it IS the computer version in smaller scale. Symbian Belle still allows the user to kill unwanted applications running in the background by holding down the menu key and clicking the ‘X’ icon. Ovi maps on the device is version 3.06 as predicted and even if not version 3.08, it still gets the job done.
The settings menu is the same and nothing major there too. On Symbian Anna, the Nokia 500 has many themes for different colors but on Symbian/Nokia Belle, the 500 only has one “Nokia Evolve” theme which means the users have to download their own themes for personalization.
Overall, the icons seem a bit smaller especially on the home screen and this makes the phone look abit tiny which it is. The size was not brought out in Symbian Anna but in Belle we can see how small the screen on the phone is compared to devices like the E7, N8 and Nokia 701.
With Symbian Belle, the Nokia 500 is able to really show its 1Ghz processor at work and even if it might not be able to play (fancy) 3D games due to the lack of a OpenGL compatible GPU, it can still allow us to play OpenVG games such as “Asphalt 6: Adrenaline” and “Nuke Defender 3D” available from Ovi store.

Great to see you are a happy user. I have just bought two Nokia 500 phones (another for my wife), upgraded to Belle, and both have the same infuriating problems:
- system crashes half a dozen times a day without any warning (during calls, browsing, text messaging)
- if I change the language for text messages, I cannot type anything (SMS) any more
- when phone goes to sleep, it often won't wake up and I need to remove the battery (after doing this 4-5 times a day one starts to get very frustrated).
I am very disappointed and cannot recommend the phone to anyone. First Nokia that I feel this way with.

Nokia Maps Suite 2.0

I've just used Nokia Suite to install Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 on a N8 running Belle. I had been reading about it here: http://blog.maps.nokia.com/nokia-maps/download-nokia-maps-suite-on-your-nokia-belle-device#more-1929...
(When the installation said less than a minute left, it actually took much longer, around six minutes. I was worried the program had crashed, so I tried to start it on my phone anyway, and right after that, the installation completed.)
According to the version information on the phone, I now have:
   Version v3.09 12wk09 b05
   MW OpenGL MN
   Map version 0.2.45.110
I've got a few questions - the very first one being whether there is a document posted somewhere explaining how to use the new software? Or, is it to be trial and error on my part?
Next, I accidentally created a new "favorite" while trying things out - I can delete it by going to my favorites list, and doing a long-press on that favorite, to bring up the box with "delete". Should I be able to delete favorites on the main Maps page as well? I think that's how I used to do it ages ago.
I did a search for a local bagel restaurant, and eventually found it. I clicked on the little "i" (for information?) at the right side of the listing, and got their street address. Should I also have gotten their phone number? It would be nice if not only the phone number showed up, but if I could click on it to call them.
From the website about the program listed above:
"For our UK users, new Voice Search lets you get directions simply by speaking, so you can now navigate hands-free! Tap on the microphone icon next to the search box and speak your destination. Voice Search will be available for more countries and languages soon." Is this included in what I just downloaded, and will it work in the USA and India?
Finally, I read something in this forum posted recently: "If you're still having issues trying the latest beta version from here should fix the issue: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-maps-suite "    Is this version even newer than the one I just downloaded? Which do you recommend? Can you explain the differences?
First impressions are very positive. The list we put together for Bell problems/issues can be found here: /t5/Software-Updates/List-of-Belle-additions-corrections-needed/td-p/1328167/page/5 . The issues for previous versions of maps were:
MAPS-- Ability to delete or edit map favorites from Drive (can be done from Maps).
MAPS-- Re-enable the auto/Bluetooth connection to work with Nokia Maps Navigation.Camera & video
MAPS-- Re-enable the auto/Bluetooth connection to work with Nokia Maps Navigation
MAPS-- Return the English "surfer dude" voice to Voice Navigation on the N8.
MAPS-- Not possible to delete maps history.
MAPS-- provide a simple and convenient method to import and export GPS coordinates
MAPS-- Map widget doesn't support rotation with fingers
MAPS-- No backup ability for map favorites without going on-line
I'm hoping when some of us test these in the new version, we'll be able to mark them as "solved"

Well, my suggestions are as follows:
Backup -
As to GPS, I when the phone displays the information about a "favorite", the GPS co-ordinates should be displayed right there.
I will have to test the other way as well - there should be a way to enter the GPS co-ordinates of a place you're interested in. I did that years ago before even Anna was released, and it was very handy. GPS co-ordinates are a "standard", a "universal" way of describing a location.
It's nice that the software can do all the things it does with the internet/cloud, but that should all be in addition to the basic ways of doing it, not instead of. ....at least that's my opinion.
I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow - will have several days to work with the new Maps software, and see what I think. First impressions are mostly good! ...and thanks for your help!
Points taken on backup. I don't actually use backups much myself preferring to copy files manually. What could be an idea for Nokia Suite is to be able to define additional filetypes or folders to be syncd.
Agreed that display of lat/long would be useful on the favorite page, in fact I would go further and wish for the coordinates to also be displayed in 'local' coordinate systems as well.
You can search by lat/long (eiter as DMS or decimal degrees) as shown in the attachment. Again I would like it to go further as I would prefer to have been able to search for the point i used as 'SP 487 169'. Incidentally I tried the same lat/long coordinate search with google maps, on the N8 and my android tablet, and found that rather than it returning the point i was searching for it decided to choose a nearby address, so in terms of searching Nokia is way ahead.
Hope you have a god trip and maps proves useful. Since getting the N8 I have completly given up using my dedicated satnav and gps recievers, as well as compact camera.

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.

Photo gallery linked to Nokia Map

1. Open up the photo gallery.
2. Pick a photo with GPS coordinates encoded.
3. Option/show on map.
4. Automatically launch Nokia Maps showing where that photo was taken. And navigate there.
That was a great feature on some older E Series. But sadly not available for N8 Anna & Maps 3.06. What about 3.08? Or Belle?

Are you sure you have uploaded everything in the gallery folder to the correct location. It can't find the index.html page.

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.

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!!!!

Navigation with Nokia Maps crash (N95 8Gb)

Hi All.
Does anyone have this problem, when the Nokia Maps start Navigation and is calculation route, Crash !
Thanks,

Here's my brand new, maps crashing issue; For some bizzare reason, I thought I'd try to use a-gps. I've always had pretty good luck with the thing syncing but it could be better.
I recently came to Germany and got a MOBI (vodafone) sim card and I set vodafone live as my provider. It didn't seem to be any faster so I went into setting, (in maps) and tried to turn it off.
The problem is; I can't. When I go into Maps settings and click on Network, it shuts off Maps or reboots the phone. Now, whenever I turn on maps, it logs onto vodafone and burns off all of my credit in about 5 minutes...and I can't turn it off and I can't use maps without using all of my expensive credit.
It's really **bleep** me off. This is the first software issue I've had with this thing and I have no idea how to solve it. I've gone into Tools>General>Positioning methods and only have Integrated gps checked but it's still logging on.
It's a real pain. If I could remember my lock code, I'd reset everything to default.
Any idea...?
Thanks
