Nokia Maps wont route to certain places !!

Hiya
Can someone please try this for me ?
Can you please try and route from GPS and Route to Loftus
See if you can get a route because mine gets stuck at Calculating route and I am wondering if I have an issue with my version
I dont know how many other places mine wont goto but this is a regular one.
Loftus should come up as Redcar or Saltburn when it finds it and is in the UK
Thx
Paul

I won't beat about the bush here, nokia maps is *bleep*
If I open the maps application and let it find a GPS signal as im driving along, the map on the handset is upside down ie if im travelling south the cursor on the map is travelling north it is following the route im going but the map is upside down, the GPS should recognise which way im going and turn the map correctly. Only when I plan a route does it correct itself and show the map the correct way up
Also, I have maps for Latvia installed on my mem card and if i zoom into street level and copy one of the major street names in Riga exactly as its spelt on the map then go back to search to search for that street it finds no results, it doesnt matter how many different ways i spell it it can't find it, many addresses I have searched for in Riga and it cant find them, yet when i zoom into the map and find it manually it is there, I'm off to Germany in December for the xmas markets (bah humbug) I have not yet installed the maps for Germany but I wonder if i will have the same problem

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.

Route 66 or Nokia Maps

What would you suggest to invest in. Route 66 is a very good software, I am using the Eastern European Maps, excellent. However was wondering if it would be better from the onset to go in for Nokia Maps as their Map Navigation is going to go from strength to strength. What is your opinion ?

It does not have to cost anything to download maps for Nokia Maps if you use the pc Map Loader. I have been using Nokia Maps for about 6 months and so far so good. I paid for 3 years sub which includes all map updates for the next 3 years for the whole of western Europe. Great Deal!.
Since that I have been to Turkey, US and Canada. I have paid for maps for these countries at €8.99 for 30 days usage. Worked great except for Istanbul where the maps are a little out of date.
The key is to download all the maps for a particular country or region using Map Loader before you go. This will avoid you paying data connection charges when you arrive.

Nokia Maps is just stays calulating a route?

Hello.
I have just got my N95 8G phone. I Hard reset it, install new firmware and got a 7 day trial of Nokia maps.
I try to get it to calulate a route, even a very short one and it just never finnished calculating a route.
I saw a few others online having same problems, so then decideed to install Map loader v2. This software just freezes at startup logo, I guess this isnt Vista 64 compatible?
I then installed the older map load v1.1 and this works. I remove all old maps, and install the voice and map data from scratch, this makes no difference.
Question is, is this a phone fault or software fault, and is there a soloution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, it seems I have solved it. I did the following.
1:format the mass storage.
2:Hard reset.
3:Reinstalled v30 -18 firmware.
4:installed the maps and voice.
Had no effect.
5: Downladed Nokia map update (Beta)
http://www.nokia.com/A41433075
The phone crashed repetedly when either opening Nokia Maps, or sellect add licence key, or words to that effect.
After several attempts I mannaged to add the licence key.
6: I when to Menu/Tools/connectivity GPS Data. Select Position, then options/Satalite status and left the phone on windw seal untill I got at least a 4 bar filled lock.
7: When to nokia maps sellected a destination and it worked.
Next at your own risk:
I then debranded the phone, re installed the firmware v30-18 again which put the older maps in again, but continued to work, i.e calculated the route within 15 seconds.

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 Crashing

I have some problems with my Nokia Maps 2.0 on my N82 after downloading a weather application (from the N82 menu 'download' option). First, it regularly crashes the phone - especially when trying to calculate a route. It struggles with the 'Walk' function, and will soon crash the phone. I have removed the weather application from the phone, but the phone is still unstable. Also I haven't now got an option in Maps to save a location, and in another menu, the 'Favourite Places' doesn't work. However, I have a list of some of my saved places in the 'History' option. I've spoken to Nokia for approx. 4 hours over this, but they are puzzled!
What's going on? How can I get Maps to work perfectly on my phone again? I would strongly urge caution on using the 'Download' option on the phone's menu. Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Nokia Maps v3.09 devours more phone memory than earlier versions and memory leakage only becomes more apparent when application used for several hours, which may well account for such behaviour.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Nokia Maps v3.8

I just installed on my N8 running v25 the new Nokia Maps v3.8 which came up as an update on Nokia Suite. Installation completed OK, but I cannot launch the application - "Maps: Feature not supported!".
I cannot see any Maps entry in the list of Installed Apps in the App manager, so I cannot uninstall.
I have downloaded maps to my handset and I can see them in Nokia Suite no problem.
Any ideas ?

...2. On top of screen, long press to bring up bring up "option" like "Walk to" or "Drive to" or "Add to route" etc etc.
Am I correct?...
Yes, except can save to Favorites but not add to route. Ver 3.08 does not do routes with intermediate waypoints as far as I can see in the just released version (although I have not explored looking very hard for it). The beta was the same and to save me typing a lot of words if you go to the Nokia Beta Labs site you will find quite a lot of discussion about removal of this.
It would be nice to have it but frankly I have not found it to be as much of an issue as I first thought it might be. That because I normally just used intermediate waypoints for places I wanted to stop at enroute. It is very easy in that case to just from that waypoint click the next destination in the favorites list (or hover over and click "Drive to" or "Walk to").
Still does not do bluetooth to headsets but my understanding is that is a phone firmware issue not the Maps app itself.

Using Nokia Maps

Howdy,
I'm trying to use the Maps application but have a few questions and not the patience to read the user guide on my tiny 700's screen. Any help you may proffer would be much appreciated. So, how do I map a route from, say, point A to point B? Is it possible to use the app's GPS function without a connection to a mobile network? By the way, I fully intend to NOT use a mobile network for data, just for phone calls. I've toyed with it a bit and even downloaded a map (Canada) and deleted a couple (Cayman Islands and Bahamas).
It just doesn't make sense that it's not intuitive to the point where I can enter where I would like to start and where I'm going and get directions without having it access my mobile network.
Solved!

Hi Aspergerguy,
As to navigation in general I'm not so interested in the features a certain navigation software package will provide. I don't care whether I can see weather forecasts or not. The main topic for me is the reliability of the map data. In other words, in how far is or are the roadmap(s) in concert with the actual situation. The Navteq maps are seriously out of date for my country the Netherlands. It is nice to know that the weather in the environment of an address in The Haque is rainy, but I'm more interested in to reach that address correctly. Recently I updated the Teleatlas maps for the TomTom device of my girlfriend and the Dutch map was really up to date. My Nokia maps are more than a year out of date. If this phenomenon is not altered, I will say Nokia/OVI maps goodbye. Do you have any inside information about the frequency and dates of updating Navteq maps in the course of the year for Nokia phones?

WHY DONT I USE NOKIA MAPS???

I am puzzled about Nokia Maps, like why I cant and dont use it!? why am I considering buying Route 66 for £59? and even a TomTom Go One GB? handheld unit??? £100
hang on a minute!! I have a perfectly good N95-1?? so why dont I use Nokia Maps?? its paid for it should work!! well it requires a GSM network connection as well as GPS, which caines all your credit in no time thats with the maps downloaded! what was the point of selling a GPS enabled reciever phone with all the fancy Maps program but I cant use it like any other normal APP!!!???
How much does it cost to run? does it deppend on network?
or ammount of data used, why does it try to download the mao when its already downloaded from Nokia?
Its mad, I can get a satelite to lock in,and even try to plan routes , but it constantly crashes out, its useless , its a shame!! I paid all that money and I cant use the GPS at all anyone else feel the same??

UPDATE:
Re-installed the same firmware, managed to install MAPS 2.02
and it all now works until you need it ! i'll explain later.
SIMPLE MISATKES!:
Make sure you have the memeory card inserted before the install of MAPS 2.02!
Make sure your phones Profile is on GENERAL after restoring your backup after upgrading your firmware. Now MAPS 2.02 should load.
after all this I had to reinstal Nokia Internet Radio Youtube, Fring, AND I installed GOOGLE MOBILE MAPS with a 800kb download over GPRS and it's amazing! need to see a thread dedicated to Google Mobile Maps!
MAPS 2.02 First off Im very impressed with the new version of MAPS and all its features until you NEED certain things!
NO MORE ATMS or CASHMACHINES show up, NO MORE WIFI POINTS!!
how do I fix this?? is this the EXTRAS WE HAVE TO PAY FOR?
Now I'm in town and I'm dettermind to actualy get a fix and use this thing in town under stress of busy traffic and a busy crowd test! I got a FIX with the Red Icon showing and I looked up a shop and hit go and up pops another box saying The Licence blah blah whats going on?? it always tries to charge me at the most inconvienient time ever!
I have no idea if I have to subscribe or get billed off my network?
I have NEVER been able to figure out MAPS :/ like how is it charged? how you subscribe to it? would I need web n walk or surf for a £1 all day on O2 would this help? Its useless otherwise i'm totally perplexed with it. ROute 66 is £59 you install it , it works. or £99 TomTOm 1 Solid State, slim portable, big touch screen, so if after all this setting up time and hassle with MAPS 2 how much will it cost me?

Buyers of Nokia Mapping Software please read

OpenBIT LTD . This is the company in charge of charging your account when you purchace the routing function for Nokias Map Service.
If you have read my blog wardy.vox.com then you know I have been charged three times for one activation. I have now sent three emails to the support desk of this company and have yet had no replies . Not even a confirmation!!!
If you go to their site Openbit Ltd they only have a fax number so you cannot call them !! Grrrr , No help desk then so it's pure Email or Fax .
This is terrible support and I intend to let the world know. My Visa company are looking into the over charging for me so I wont worry on that score but **bleep** are Openbit up to. If I was in league with Nokia and other companies to take care of payment I would ensure that my customer support was up to the task . No call centre is a no no if you are not going to respond to Emails .
FAX , Oh my god how dated is that !!! I bet the poor thing is constantly engaged LOL
Take head buyers of the licence if a hickup hapens during the proceedure for Licence don't expect any support or help from OPENBIT to get your money back as they seem not to give a monkeys. Purchace through VISA at least you are covered that way.

Hi. I have serious concerns regarding openbit licence manager. Through no fault of my own, I am on my third N95 handset in just over a week. The first two handsets were faulty and were exchanged.
Problem 1. On handset number one I purchased the upgrade for a 3 year licence for Sat Nav. It initially proved impossible to transfer this licence to the second (and now the third handset). O2 Data support technicians at CPW were unable to help as their information from Nokia is lacking to say the least. Nokia were unable to solve the issue and 'needed to escalate the query' to Smart2Go. I had never heard of Smart2Go until this point. I was told this could take a week to get a response. So, I had purchased a product that I could not use.
I then discovered that Openbit.com provide the licence manager software to Nokia. I emailed the CEO and got a response within 10 minutes. He had solved the problem and had the licence code unlocked. Handset 2 was now operable. However I have the same problem with handset 3 and am still awaiting response from the CEO.
Problem 2. On handset 2 I purchased the upgrade for Quickoffice to ensure I could edit and create documents. I upgraded to Quickoffice Premier 4 for 10.50 GBP. The order confirmation gives (as with the sat nav) gives no contact details as to whom you have purchased from other than [email protected]. The upgrade saves to the hard drive of the handset. So, handset 3 has no upgrade and who do I contact?
Secondly, once this purchase has been made, you are then told you need to purchase another licence to 'Activate Editing' for another 10.50 GBP!
NB. Nokia WILL NOT SUPPORT THESE UPGRADES and say they have nothing to do with Quickoffice, despite the basic software being loaded on the N95.
I have raised these issues with Charles Dunstone, CEO of CPW, Arto Lethonen, CEO of Openbit and have yet to discover who is the CEO of Nokia - if anyone knows contact details, please let me know.
Consumers are dropped into a large 'black hole' and I am investigating whether the Distance selling Regulations 2000 are being contravened.
If anyone has had similar problems and/or has any advice to offer, please let me know.
Thanks

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.

Nokia maps suite.. NEW

Nokia Maps Suite: Everything You Need To Know
The new ‘Nokia Maps Suite’ was arguably the biggest application release at the opening day of Nokia World 2011. The new suite brings ‘the future of location-based services’ to your fingertips. Designed with the commuter in mind, the new location software is the best way to travel on trams, trains and buses with worldwide coverage. Perfect for when the train, bus and tram break down and you need to use Nokia Maps to find your way on foot. Sharing is also a core competence of the new suite, the ‘Pulse’ application allows you to check in with friends and family on the go, presumably this is to ensure your finger is always on the pulse!
We are going to take you on a wild rollercoaster ride that explores the four main location-based software groups that complete the Nokia Maps Suite. Here is a quick overview for those that like to keep it top line, before we delve deep into each group:
1. Live View: A new augmented-reality browser that turns your phone’s camera viewfinder to help you spot places of interest.
2. Pulse: Enables you to privately share and discuss your location, photos and mood with friends and family.
3. Public Transport: You don’t need to work for CSI:Miami to solve this one. The Public Transport app tells you the most efficient way to get from A to B using public transport anywhere in the world.
4. Places: Once again, the clue is in the name, this app quite simply helps you discover places around you.
Nokia Live View via Nokia
Now it’s time to do some delving.
Live View
The above image highlights the most exciting feature of the Nokia Maps Suite. Some of you may have never used augumented-reality on your smart-phones before, so we thought we would give you a quick augumented-reality check. Augumented-reality essentially merges the worlds of online and offline. Take the street you work, live or study on, if you were to open the app and point the camera down the street, you would not only see the physical elements of a shop, restaurant or bar but you would see the virtual elements of the shop superimposed on your screen. By ‘virtual’ we mean the information about the shop that is available online. So this may include the shops name, the products it sells, the opening times and its exact location from where you are standing. Sounds pretty futuristic doesn’t it! If that explanation didn’t make any sense then here is a definition of augumented-reality. Augmented-reality used to be offered as a stand-alone application but now it joins the new Nokia Maps family.
If you are not comfortable using the camera view you can always switch to a list or map view of your surrounding area, but we think that takes the fun out of the whole app. There is also a great feature that lets you browse famous places from around the world.
Pulse
Pulse is a great new feature that lets you connect with friends and family in a private capacity. You don’t need to belong to a social network, you simply add your location with a post and everyone else you have added will see your latest activity. Your post could include text, a photo or your location. The app is private by default so there is no need to build a 10ft wall around your personal details. Nokia Pulse is also integrated with maps so as soon as a friend checks in nearby you can find out exactly how to reach them, or alternatively, exactly how to avoid them! Check out the video below, it explains everything about Pulse:
Nokia Pulse via Nokia
Public Transport
This is a great app for those of us travelling long distances on public transport everyday. It neatly combines several methods of public transport into one easy interface. So, if you know you might need to take a bus, tram or train on your travels, then all of the proposed timings, locations and routes required will be displayed. You may even be directed to walk some of the journey to reach your next form of public transport, unlucky! The app has ‘up-to-the-minute’ updates on all bus and tram routes in 45 cities and the device tracks public transportation directly on a mobile device in more than 430 cities worldwide.
Nokia Transport via Nokia
Places
Need to find a last minute Michelin Star restaurant for some new clients? Forgotten to get your wife flowers on your wedding anniversary? Or are you just bored of going to the same burger bar every Friday lunchtime? Well the Places app is a fantastic solution to these problems because it gets you to your desired and undiscovered destinations faster and more efficiently. You can check ratings and reviews for restaurants you are unsure about in a foreign land, get directional advice to the location you have chosen and then find the nearest taxi rank to grab a trip home. The software is designed to help you find locations in your local area that you may have previously been unaware of. Who knows, that burger bar you didnt know about behind your office could be alot tastier and better value for money than the one right in front of your office!
So, there you have it, our take on the new Nokia Maps software. We can’t wait to put some of these technologies into practice, in the meantime though we want you to tell us whether this sounds like the future of mapping and if not, why!? Do share!
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

OK I feel silly now. I just realized that the links to donwload maps manually work now...
I will try again to add them through Nokia Suite in 10 hours and I will use manual download if it does not work.
Thanks anyway and I advise everyone to download the whole world to be prepared for the moment where the server is unplugged.

Nokia Maps - suggestions for improvement

Been using Nokia Maps Navigationon my E61i for a month now, previously I used Telenav on my E62.
The interface on Telenav is more intuitive / user friendly, Nokia Maps is confusing. I am getting used to it, but still.
Trip duration (lower right corner), at least that is what I assume it to be. It is off completely the entire trip. We use a TomTom Go910 for the family and it is off on its initial estimate but then it adjusts as you drive along. On a trip from Oklahoma City to Wichita Falls it estimated the trip to be 3.5 hours. Actual distance was only 165 miles, so a little bit over 2 hours. It its current design this feature is worthless. By the way Telenav has this figured out.
Airport Codes:
Driving back to OKC, I realize that a keyword search on OKC (the official airport code for Oklahoma City) only results in tens of matches of businesses with OKC in the name. But no air port. If you want to be serious about business travel this needs to work. Same for car rental return locations at the airport.
After a few hours of use the E61i crashes and restarts itself.

The indicator at the bottom right of my Nokia Maps screen shows the remaining estimated journey time. This seems to me to be one of the most useful features. The only refinement I'd like to see is an option to toggle between this and an estimated arrival time.
With regard to search, there is a lot of scope for improvement here, given that this is the search that the software defaults to when you enter text directly without selecting an option. This should allow any kind of searching - i.e. post or zip code, place name etc. In the UK, the post code is the most useful type of search, but is not enabled via this inout - you have to go to address search to input a postcode. The app should have the intelligence to recognise the type of input and act accordingly.
Another much-needed improvement would be to improve the access to searching for the address from contacts - as this is a pretty obvious way for people using a smartphone to ssearch it should be there among the first level opetion - not buried as an option under address search.
Also, the options should be arranged with more consistent thought as to which will be most used, for example, under the "Landmarks" menu, Route From, Route To, and Navigate To, are in the midlle - requirig more keypresses than Delete Landmark, Edit Landmark, Show Details or Serach Nearby! Seems like a lapse in the quality control there doesn't there?
A great, and easy improvement (because the code is already there) would be to use the Voice-Independent name recognition capability of recent phones to select stored Landmarks and recent destinations - I'm surprised this feature isn't there already.

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.

Nokia Maps online doesn't work behind corporate fi...

Hi,
Nokia Maps online 'search' and 'routes' don't work on my work computer. My PC is behind corporate firewall and proxy, but that shouldn't be a problem.
On my work's PC, I can save, edit and rename Favourites; I can rename Routes; I can see a route previously saved on my phone. But it's not possible at all to search for places and consequently it's not possible to calculate new routes.
I think Nokia should pay attention to this proxy issue, if it wants Nokia Maps to become popular all over the world, since at least on my corporation, Nokia Maps is the only mapping system that cannot be used!
Google Maps, NAVTEQ.com and TomTom route planner are some mapping systems that work fine on my work PC. Unfortunately, I cannot use Nokia Maps, which is my favourite system...
Can a Nokia representive forward this to the Nokia Maps online team?
Regards.

I'm experiencing this same issue. Please fix it. Now I have to use google maps.

Nokia Maps wont route to certain places !!
