Nokia Maps Upgrade and Traffic Alerts

My Nokia maps has started unexpectedly trying to pursuade me to upgrade , when in fact it seems it really might mean I think pay and re-authenticate. I think the software runs really well on my E71 but will not pay another £70 to keep using it. I might if it was an well needed upgrade,but what I have is great.
But what really irritates me is that a month or two back the system talked me into taking a years entitlement to traffic alerts which are somewhat dumb
( it doesn't take cogniscence of where you are being guided to other than in the list order, the alerts are out of date like all alerts in the UK radio/internet/road signs etc. and it doesn't even have the intelligence to realise that you are going north etc. when if gives you a pointless southbound alerts )
but what really irkes is they took a years worth of money for alerts on a software package with a month or two's lifetime. I would be happy to continue using the current version and not pay for the upgrade. Any solutions out there to continue using the present version and not take the upgrade ? ora route to take to get a refund on the alerts ?

Nokia do things the opposite way around to most sat-nav providers, instead of charging upfront for the software and updates, the software (which can be used for things other than sat-nav as radical says) is free and you buy a licence for sat-nav use to fund continuing development of the software.
Your phone came with a free trial - all GPD-equipped Nokias now have 3, 6 or 12 month free trials in most markets (the period depends on the model - 12 months for high-end phones like the N96,6 for Navigator-branded models like the 6210 and 3 for most others). I changed to Nokia Maps from the Windows-Mobile software "Destinator" because updates were getting hard to find. Nokia does at least keep its software up to date, and it is fast becoming a great package.
As for the traffic updates, these are dependent on the source information, and these services are still pretty much in their infancy because few people use them at present. The Nokia Maps application relays to you the information that it receives from third parties. As for your contention that it took a year's money for a short-life package, this is down to you. Why did you accept a year's subscription to traffic updates if you were not certain you would renew the navigation licence? It was your decision.

Hi Nick,
Not certain what is causing the problem, but I do know that your phone needs to download maps, so you should connect using GPRS or Wifi to download the maps and then you should have maps for your locality, but you will need to connect again if you move outside of the locality. The best advise I would say is to get an internet add on for your phone so you won't be charged extra.
you may be able to download maps and load them on also. You may also need to turn off the network assisted GPS so you are only using the built in GPS not the internet to find where you are.

Yes you can

You'll need to install new maps via map loader though as the old maps will not be compatible.

Nokia maps updated and after a soft reset..

After I installed the nokia maps suite update, I decided to do a soft reset on my n8. I'm always using nokia pc suite to install apps, maps, voice files and software updates. But now, I can't update my maps via nokia suite. I'm using the latest stable nokia suite (not beta) I also tried to restore but it's a no go.

What's the error it's giving when you try to update the maps? I assume it's just the regional map data you're trying to get, and the app is on your phone OK.
Have you run the maps application on your phone? On first start it has to create some directories, only after it's done this can you install maps and languages.
Also might be worth trying the latest beta from here if you're still having issues: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-maps-suite it does say one of the fixes is a maploader download issue.... this may be exactly what you need!
If I have helped you, please hit the star at the bottom of my posts - it's appreciated!

Nokia Maps Update and Maploader v1.2 released

Hi all
At long last and as expected released today available from:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4509291
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Worked it out. Uninstall the existing application, restart the phone, install the new (N73) version then restart the phone. All the maps are gone and it starts a map update (data connection). You need to wait for it to dowload the maps before you try anything or it crashes.
I guess you could start the application, say no to update, close the application, use Map Loader (if you can get through a proxy) to download your maps and the start the application again.
BTW, it does retain any landmarks you had saved.

Nokia maps issues

i have nokia maps 2 and traffic infor along with western europe and voice guided navigation, i purchased a 3 year licence.
Is it true that maps 3 is coming soon?
There are issues with maps 2.
a) If i click to when i open the app when it asks if it can go online then after that i cannot get it to go online by clicking options and go online. It simply does not work. I have to close the app and allow it to go online from the when i first open it.
b)when i click in my places nothing happens. I can look at my collections etc but not my places.
Although when i search for say "home" a place i have saved it does find it.
Also why can i not delete recent places i have searched for?

maps 3.0 has been out for a while now...tho still in beta and there are many known issues, i use it on my phone and yest it does crash and burn at times, but i am used to it so it does not really bother me, just reboot the phone or reinstall the app. for the most part it actually works really well and i am happy with it. inmo it manages the content better and checks for the latest versions of maps and updates and deletes old data all in one doing, it takes a moment but once it actually is very stable and out of beta it has a potential to be a great app.

Hi IvanTsintsev,
Thanks for your post and welcome to Nokia Discussions!
Please perform a hard reset and software update with Nokia Suite to resolve this issue.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and make a back up via Tools > Back up. Don't tick the Settings box.
Disconnect your phone from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# and default security code 12345, unless you've changed this code yourself. When the phone has rebooted, reconnect to Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where you can update the phone's software. If no update is available, please reinstall the current software. This option will be displayed in blue.
When the phone has been updated, restore the back up via Tools > Restore and this should fix the issue. If you're still can't use maps, try uninstalling and reinstalling the maps through Nokia Suite.
Let me know how you get on!

Nokia Map vs GPS Data

New owner of the 6220 classic. Can anyone tell me something about the relation between the Nokia Maps applicaton and the app called GPS Data?
Sven

Nokia Maps is a navigation software which allows you to plot you position on a map and also allows you to navigate to a known destination on the map.
GPS Data on the other hand gives you raw information such as your location in coordinate form (latitude/longitude), speed etc., and has no navigation function. It will also point you towards your destination but purely in vector form.

N96 Nokia Maps "Voice" & Bluetooth car radio.

Hi, I have a problem with Nokia Maps voice and Bluetooth car radio. Although the N96 voice call works well through the car radio (tevion md 814508, Bluetooth version 1.2) the nokia maps "voice' does not come through. Also I would like to stream my phones MP3 music as well.
Any ideas?

Hi confiture
A bit of an update.
Like johndub in his post I've found that if I switch the car stereo to aux I do hear a voice but really crackly and distorted. You can't really tell what 'he' is saying. Play some music with Car Menu/Music Player and it's clear. Switch the stereo to radio (or off) and the voice is gone.
This obviously is quite a bug. Nokia not being exactly 'joined up' when it comes to their hardware and software releases again possibly?
"If you start car menu and do not activate the music player, instead move straight to navigation, selecting your route etc then it will mute the radio and send the guidance down the mono channel like a phone call"
Unfortunately I can assure you this doesn't happen.
I have noticed there is a software update for the CK-300 but I don't have the correct cable for the job. Any idea where I could get this done? I found a link for Nokia installers on here a while ago but I'll be damned if I can find it now

Nokia Maps 3.0 install error

I get the following error on my Nokia Map Loader and no matter what I try in the error messages suggested actions it will not rectify. Can someone please assist?

I also noticed this after I update my phone maps application to 3.0. After updating when I tried using map loader it gave me exactly same error but as the map application updater has already installed new maps for my location I am least bothered about this.

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.

6110 notes: Route 66 and Nokia Map (Smartogo) in a...

Hi,
Just sharing some observations after trying out the two maps for navigation in a city.
a) Responsiveness: Route66 is definitely more responsive in re-routing once you drive off the recommended route. It typically provide new directive immediately, whereas Nokia map will take a couple of seconds for recalculations.
b) Quality of re-route: When a route is missed, Route66 seems to provide more 'human-like' new route. Whereas, Nokia Map seems to work on partial re-route, and try to find the "next possibility" with the objective to make a "U-turn" to get back to the previous calculated route. The difference is important in real life, since making U-turns in an un-familiar location can be dangerous, but more importantly, can dis-orientate most people who are not adept in navigation in the first place. So, Route66 seems to be smarter than 'smartogo' on this respect.
c) User interface: Nokia Map (smartogo) seems to be lacked of the short-cut keys that Route66 already provice (such as key 5, 6 etc). Also, the satellite info page seems rudimental.
However, the screen layout of the Nokia Map seems more useful than Route66, but Route66 has more fancy graphics. So, it is clear that Route66 has been optimised for novice in navigation, making it as easy as possible.
d) Voice navigation: Route66 seems to be straight-to-the-point, i.e. clear instruction. Nokia Map tends to be a bit more chatty and delayed. For example, quite frequently, it would say "next possibility", which is useless, except seems to project to me that it is not sure. Also, by the time it finished saying 'possibility', you already missed the turn out.
When one is on the road and decide to rely on the voice navigation, just tell me what to do at the right time, cut out the sweet talks.
e) Landmark management. This one, Nokia Map is definitely one up.
Well, it seems that Route66 is the way to go at this point since it seems a more mature product. However, I think Nokia Map has many tricks up the sleeves, it seems, especially in terms of integration with other applications.
I still love google map for the satellite view, nothing can beat having a preview of the terrain of the route one selects. However, this is not for everybody, I admit.

I find Route66 also tends to keep trying to send me back to the route it initially calculated for far too long after I've diverted off - usually to avoid traffic jams.
The one feature I would really like on Route66 - and which I always assumed would be in any routing software - is a "find me another route that avoids this road" option. Can't understand why that one isn't available as the code that handles the real time traffic data could easily be adapted to do it.

Traffic information in Nokia Maps

<body><p>Is it possible to include this option in Nokia Maps in future? I am asking, because in PC version this option exists. So, doesn't it will be great to enjoy it in mobile version?

I have a Nokia E7 and I am using my N9 as my primary phone right now, but I can say, I miss the Navigation on the E7, it was simpler, faster, had more optoions and features, and the live traffic on the E7 is excellent, very good Navigation App. I Love the facebook check in via Nokia Maps on my E7, where as with the N9 there is no functional check in at all unless via 3rd party apps (Fmobi) so yes, I would like to see the same Symbian Nokia Maps brought to the N9 as well as upcoming Windows PHone devices, it is a setp backwards in its current form.

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!
