NOKIA MAPS! The biggest scam! Simply bleep

All users are complaining about NOKIA MAP Loader. Nokia is not giving any answers. So, we don't want to became nokia betatesters. Stop using this application... it is the biggest **bleep** i have ever seen!

I think route dragging should be implemented. It is a pain in the neck to always use additional waypoints, just to find the correct route

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 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.

N97 FM Transmitter is not working in nokia maps

Hi. I don't know if this topic was already discussed here. I didn't find it.
If I have activate the fm-transmitter in my car and nokia maps is running as well, the output of the music comes over the radio, but the output voice of nokia maps comes over the phone. If any advise comes from nokia maps, the connections interrupt via fm-transmitter completly. During the time of the nokia maps advise both, music and nokia maps, sending the sound via phone. Is there any possibility to avoid that problem?Thanks for any help.

This feature is not currently supported by Nokia Maps. (despite it being included in the previous versions of Ovi Maps)
Many Betalabs Users have been requesting this feature for a long time.
To add your support, please join nokia beta labs (if not already) and support the following post:

It is interesting to note that somewhere in the Nokia chain this request has been denied. I have suggested a petition from us (users) may give the Nokia development team the support they need to gain approval for this.

Using Nokia Map Loader With the E65

I bought an E65 not long ago, and I've been trying to figure out the Navigator program for some time now.
I've been told that the E65 navigator is an integrated version of Nokia Maps, but I can't get Nokia map loader to recognise that there's a removable storage card plugged into the computer (both an SD card in a card reader, and my E65 in data transfer mode.).
I don't want to use it as a full blown navigator, just as a way to view road maps on the go, so my choice of programs is limited to just Nokia Maps.
Is there a way to make Nokia Map Loader recognise the card? I've used both versions 1.0w and 1.1g but both tell me that there are no cards connected to the computer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi lordjaffa
Have you run Nokia Maps application on your E65 at least once with memory card in phone, to define folder structure required by Maploader on it?

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.

Link to download the Nokia Map 2.0?

Hi!
Previously in Nokia website, I can easily find the link to download the Nokia Map v2.0 (the sis file for various phone models). The link was www.nokia.com/maps.
Now Nokia has launched the Ovi Map 3.0. With the same link above, now it only leads me to download the Ovi Map 3.0. However, my phone is old model like N73 and E61, etc. It does not support Ovi Map 3.0. In this case, I would like to ask anyone know the link to downlaod the old Nokia Map 2.0 or Nokia Map 1.3 sis files?
Thanks a lot

The latest Nokia maps version(00.02.41.123)

Whole Europe:
http://static.s2g.gate5.de/map5/maploaderzip-00.02.41.123/312.zip
As I have not seen any discussion about this version 00.02.41.123 of maps here, does it mean that no version other than map appl v.3.06 is able to work with these maps?
Map application v.3.06 works on the following phones:
Symbian 3: N8, E7, C7, C6-01
S60 5th Edition: N97, N97 mini, X6, C6-00, 5800XM, 5235, 5230 & 5230 Nuron

http://symbian.clanteam.com/indexmaps.htm
The map link is from the above site. There are countries too. The bad thing with the Clanteam site is that they do not mention very exactly what their maps are.
Maps for the latest version of Ovi Maps (the former Nokia Maps) from maps.nokia.com, and for the latest beta test version of Ovi Maps 3.x.
Maps for Ovi Maps (Nokia Maps) 3.x
Those are the (Beta) maps for application 3.06
Or I don't know whether Nokia calls those maps beta any more!!!
The most interesting thing with the appl 3.06 and the maps -00.02.41.123, is whether those
work with other Nokia phones than those mentioned in the first post of this thread!!!
Or whether the app. 3.04 works with the 02.41.123 maps?? Some one wants to try?
I know it's frustrating to download such a huge package (2.8 Gigabytes) but it's up to Nokia to facilitate that. I need the whole Europe for planning the summer trip. I've 00.01.23.112 version of maps( from cityindex.xml-file) and appl. 3.04. Those are not working very well.
I need quickly figure out whether I need to replace my car navigator with a new one or can the current Nokia maps and appl be updated in a way that those can be used for planning the trip and are useful during the trip. It's hard to know what is going to happen with the maps in the future. Perhaps Nokia makes the latest "beta" maps and appl available to all "smartphones" perhaps not. I bought C5-00 and it has certain limitations: small screen size for navigation, perhaps too weak gps chip, slow processor and too little memory. But the small size and weight makes it very practical to have it with me once abroad.
Hardly Nokia minds if some one who has managed to download the whole continent makes it available to others through a file sharing site or similar!! The maps are free and it's in the interest of Nokia to share those maps to so many as possible. There are plenty of problems with the maps already, hardly they want more customers who are complaining all the time not getting what they want. Newer versions of maps and applications come with improvements..

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.

Nokia maps 3 month license for the N78? Gone?

My N78 was supposed to come with a free 3 month nokia maps license, I am not sure where is the license is since there is nothing in the box, only a card that say that I have a 3 (DAY) trail.
Nokia maps was working before, until I did a full reset for the phone (Not including the MMC) due to the problems it had.
and now navigation is gone ... it asks about purchasing it.
so how can I get the navigation back??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Go through the puchase procedure up to the point where it asks you to choose a map pricing option, then press Options and select Update - this will connect to the Maps server and reinstate any valid licences that exist to the phone.
If that does not work, contact Nokia cia the Conact Us link and ask them to check your licence.

Nokia Maps quits at the 40% mark

Hi,
I have a N79 and the Nokia Maps app doesn't work.
At first, it woudn't launch at all. After I downloaded the latest version of Nokia Maps from the nokia site, it would only show the splash screen, but it would quit again at the 40% mark.
I've also installed Google Maps, and that won't launch at all.
Things I've already done:
* updated firmware
* installed latest nokia maps software
* downloading maps using nokia map loader.
* deleted CITIES folder on microSDCard (someone adviced me)
On an other forum someone adviced me to format the microSDCard. Though it should work even withouth the card in it.
Solved!

Hi ivee
Are you running v11.049 or v20.175, check by keying in *#0000# on standby screen? If answer is the former then this is a known issue so don't waste your time here. Normally application quitting at this point is due to disparity between Maps version and downloaded maps, which you would seem to have covered already.

Nokia Maps Vs OVI Maps - what's the difference?

I find Nokia Maps v 3.03 (246) as well as OVI Maps v 3.03 (246) on my N86 as "Installed applications". Both of them seem to be of around 7MB size.
Do we need both these applications to use Nokia Navigation / Maps or can I safely uninstall one of them?
I desperately need to free up some space in my phone memory and both these are currently on the Phone Memory.
Which one can I uninstall?
How can I ensure next time it gets installed on to the Memory card instead of Phone memory?

To physically increase it, no. But you can free up more space through better memory management.
1. Clear out browser cache data.
2. Save messages on memory card (I personally dont, but I dont let my messages reach levels of more than 1000 anyway. I keep them synced to Ovi, so I just delete).
3. As much as possible do not install apps on phone memory, except for some that absolutely require so.

Where can I get some help with my Nokia Maps Licen...

My problem is I bought a license and a Nokia n97.
I originally bought the license on my n95 and was able to transfer my license to my new n97. But since I have upgraded to version 3.0 my license has dissapeared.
I tried doing the sim card transfer method and that works up to the point where it tries to associate it with my new sim card (I changed provides when I upgraded). When it gets to this point it simply states "No updates" and then keeps trying again and again. I have rolled it back to version 2 and now have the same problem.
Unfortunately I have lost the email I got when I registered and I can't find any information on how to get this email resent.
I have tried speaking with Nokia care here in Sydney, Australia and they said it is a known problem but there is no fix for it.
I would like to try entering my license code again manually to see if thats possible. But I am told and I can see that nokia doesn't allow its customers to get this information again.
Please do something about this Nokia. It's really a **bleep** situation.

Hi zgeek,
I had a similar issue when moving from my N95-1 (maps 3.0 installed and licence upgraded) to my N86-1 (maps 3.0 pre-loaded). Everything was fine with the old SIM but couldn't transfer the licence across to the new handset and SIM.
Nokia ended up giving me new licences as the old ones didn't want to work anymore.
Have you searched your e-mail for the word "openbit"? Not sure if they just do Europe or the worldwide licencing sales.
One of the Nokia staff that contributes to the support forums was able to assist me (see this thread), as long as you have your N95 IMEI and SIM and your N97 IMEI and SIM then they should be able to sort it - It took me 3 weeks to resolve and cbidlake was excellent and prodding the right people.
Hope that this helps.,
Alun.

Nokia maps suite 2.0 update- any issues?

My phone is showing up an update Nokia maps suite 2.0 on software update client. Has anybody installed this update? I am a bit apprehensive because the Nokia maps 3.08 we got as update last time had problems and it had to taken off from the servers. I just want to confirm that this has no issues.
In Love With My C6-01:Now running on Nokia Belle!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I upgraded to the new "official" versioin using Nokia Suite. The upgrade seemed to go smoothly, but when I was still waiting five or six minutes after it said "one minute left" I got concerned. I didn't stop anything on the PC - I simply picked up the phone and started 'Maps'.
Whether i was coincidence or just my timing, the process completed on the PC, just as Maps was starting up on the phone.
Indoors, it was no longer sure of my location - it kept changing me to random places that were close to where I live, but not not correct. That's when I had to stop.
The next day, on a trip from Miami to Ft. PIerce, the software seemed to work beautifully. I like the revised interface. The phone worked fine, and I was quite pleased with it all.
(I didn't know about the 20-megs of space being taken up in C: memory - if so, I'm hoping Nokia will correct this. As to the update, I don't know if the installation just "hanging" on my PC was normal - if I would have kept on waiting, maybe it would have completed without my having started the software on my phone. Overall, I'm quite pleased - but keep in mind that Nokia Maps is now the single biggest reason why I'm still using a N8.)
