In all times that i'am user my N95 only one time by command "Satellites State" y have screen with 2 satellite (~5second) and other time allways "No Data or No Connected Satellites".

Q: Why dos not work? who see worked "Barcode reader"?
Thank to ALL..
(with love from Russia)
Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

First of all , you should update to the newest firmware (v20). If you can of course, for some network branded phones update is not available yet.
As for GPS, first fix is taking a long time (5 to 10 minutes).
In v12 and above A-GPS (assisted GPS) was added to speedup the process. It's using data connection for initial lock.
And make sure you're not covering tha hash key, that's where GPS reciever is. It will get a fix, just be patient because it will take some time.
Barcode reader is not for reading normal barcodes (like on products). It's used for Nokia's mobilecodes. You can check it here

Hi Purravida,
You might want to delete the old maps and folders from your memory card - the location of the maps has changed. Nokia Map Loader 1.2.1 seems to be downloading the maps to the old directory system if it exists but your software on the phone will be looking at the new directory and will try to load the maps over the data connection.
I had to delete the hidden Private directory and all of its contents to get the Nokia Map Loader to recognise that there is a new directory structure on my memory card. It could have been something else, but that fixed my problem of the new Nokia Maps not finding the downloaded maps (and trying to download them over the data connection.) Be sure to make a backup that you don't delete anything you would need...

Nokia N95 GPS Navigation

Dear All,
I am James and recently bought a Nokia N95. It comes with GPS Navigation but not sure how it works. Looked in the user manual but still not idea of how to work it. I have played around with it and downloaded Google Maps but find it difficult to get a reception.
I want to know how to download maps onto it, what connection is needed and how it actually works?
Any ideas?
regards
James

Hi,
I'm just back from the US were i used the GPS a good bit. like most GPS's, Navigation on the N95 told me to turn right then left on on straight roads with intersections (watch out for this, always look at the map before turning as you'll see that the route line is straight on screen), sent me down bizarre side roads, never went the same route to a place as it did going back (very strange), but other that that was very handy.
The one major bug I'd like to report is in v20 of the firmware (can't say for others versions), despite disabling network communication in the settings, the phone would still startup my GPRS data pack connection while roaming. Even when I set it to use Wi-Fi, it still made a connection over GPRS. I work out it cost me about a €10 in unnecessary data charges. Easy test to see if you get the same problem: Startup Maps and say no to data usage, exit or Press Menu, Tools, Log. You should see that a Data pack connection was initiated at the same time you started the Maps App. The only way around this I found was to set the phone to offline mode. But you might as well buy a proper GPS if this is the only solution.
Good luck!
I had exactly the same problem. Once activated, network mode could not be turned off and it cost me around $50 in a day and a half.
As soon as I tried to shut it down in Maps>Options, it either shut down maps or rebooted my phone.
Keep network support off, is my recommendation.
To cure the problem, I had to reload my firmware and software...everything but settings. If you reload settings, you reload the problem.
I spend hours today doing just that. Settings are probably the least important part of my phone history so it wasn't too big of a deal and the effort was totally worth it to save me mega cash while using maps.

Lion, Cloud, Isync, Nokia N95 8GB but not the ICal. Is there any possibility? Hajo from Munich

Hi,
I can sync the address book with my Nokia N95 but not ICal. Is there any possibility? Hajo from Munich

Remove the old and new plugins, delete the device in iSync, then re-install the new one. Finally setup the phone again from scratch via the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, accessed via the Bluetooth system preferences pane.

My nokia n95 gps wont work?

When i origannally got the phone the maps were coming up.
But now since i have downloaded and installed nokia maps nothing is happening.
I have nokia map loader and have downloaded the australian map succsesfully but still no maps are coming up on my maps.
Could you please help?

Do you get a satelite fix?
Try this!
Save all data like mp3s, contacts etc.(not "city" folder)
Format memory card, then open mapps app. and wait for satelite fix. Close maps app. This vill create the nesesary folders om mem.card.
Use maploader to download new maps.

Nokia N95 GPS

Hi people....I bought a brand new N95...and the first thing i did was GPS thing....
Here's the problem....i guess many of us have the same problem...
I'm running everything as i should...i got 4 Empty bars of satellites...i'm waiting for them to turn Black and full for 30 min...but no success...
I'm opening "Maps" and there's a red cross on the satellite...when i move the cursor it says gps positioning or smth like that...when i press it it goes to some city in germany i think....
So could someone PLEASE tell me how to make this thing work....because i want that most of all...and now it's getting me mad...
P.S.I downloaded all the maps required for my country Macedonia...When i'm looking for navigation on the streets it's ok...BUT WHAT ABOUT MY CURRENT LOCATION ?!?!?!I'm not in berlin for sure
Thanks in advance

I'm reffering to v20.0.015
The traffic lights of the sattelite keep moving n' stuff... and after a long time it stays still (ie gets connected..)
Some settings I have in the Positioning are..
Positioning Methods:
Not Selected - Bluetooth GPS
Selected - Assisted GPS
Integrated GPS
Network Based
Positioning Server:
Access Point - Must Be Defined
Server Address - supl.nokia.com

Nokia N95 GPS - 616 Car Kits

When i use the GPS on my N95 - if it connnectd to the car kit the voice navigation does not come on - i have to diconnect from the kit to use GPS properly. If i use the remote sim option it mute the radio at all times until i close the nagivation application. Any suggestions

Looks to be a problem with a lot of car kits... many don't do the bluetooth audio thing - tho they do phone calls fine (different profiles I guess...)
So when you pair the phone to the car you loose the Nav voice because the phone is trying to pass all things audio over the bluetooth link - even if the car doesn't know what to do with it..
Leaving you in the position where calls work fine but voice nav is lost...
It'd be nice if we could leave the nav using the phone speakers and the calls using the bluetooth car kit... it might be a bit of a compromise but at least it would keep us legal whilst driving and still allow the use of the maps.. after all where better to use a nav app than in a car???
Pity Nokia seemed to have missed this one....

Nokia N95 GPS Maps Navigation now free?

After using Nokia Maploader to get the maps onto my phone, its letting me use the voice navigation for free without buying a subcription. Why?

I think I have worked out what is going on here...
I hard reset my N95, installed the maps fresh (which took a very long time, but that is a different subject, so I won't get going on that)
I then checked if I could do full 7 digit postcode search while at home and still no, with "Network Use" set to "Never"
However, I have now come into the office, defined the wlan acess point (mine is broken at home) and set "Network Use" to "when needed" and I can do full 7 digit postcode search. If I then change that setting to "never" it reversts back to truncating the postcode.
I would appreciate if other N95 owners could confirm that this happens on their N95 too, and if so, it looks like maps is pulling additional info from somewhere to enchance the downloaded map.
You seem to be right. I cleared all the maps, then downloaded the maps for England using maploader and tested it. With network connection you can do full postcode search, but as soon as the internet connection is lost or turned off the system reverts back to truncating the postcode.
If you use the route planner while you have the network connection you can use the full postcode to set the destination point while having the GPS position as your starting point and the destination point gets stored as your destination.

Nokia N95 GPS abilities

Hi all,
I have few questions about GPS using.
- Does N95 support JSR179(Location API)? If yes, did anyone try to run MIDlets with using JSR179? Does it work?
- Does N95 has intefaces to share GPS data to PC. May be the latest version of "PC suite" can collect GPS data from the device. I want to use the phone like GPS receiver for my laptop's applications.
Thanks.

Yes, it supports JSR-179. You can check it here:

Nokia N95 GPS showing different locations and inac...

First of all, I did all of the following while I am standing stationary under the sky. Okay, so I first went to tools-conect.-landmarks. There i made a new landmark using my current location. Then I went to Nokia Maps but the 'My Position' location(the red dot) and the landmark I made previously was not the same place(it was maybe around 30-40m apart). The thing is every time I made a new land mark with the Landmark option, it gives the same location and every time i open Maps, I gives me the other same location. Why??
Another thing is while driving using Maps, it seems that in the map I appear to be driving off the road. The satellite shows three-quarter full. Why is it still inaccurate?
Please help! I have never had any experience with GPS!

V 011.012

I finally solved mine! Turns out I was using the phone in offline mode. The problem just disappears when I went online, It was like the Maps software needed to synchronize itself by using the network connection. The 'Maps' is much more accurate now. It seems the coordinate using the 'Landmarks' was correct but the 'Maps' was a bit off
