The map data held by Navteq is update several times per year, though different sources are used, for example, there is some street-level information gathering but other methods used include taking data from the organisations responsible for maintianing maps in any given country, and also information provided by members of the public like yourself. You can report the missing data here:
http://mapreporter.navteq.com/?lang=en
A couple of things I hope Nokia considers (already?):
1. First of all, in my opinion the NavTeq reporting tool is quite messy and hard to comprehend (maybe it is just me). I have registered to it and reported a few findings like missing roads, roads that were on the map but did not really exist (anymore?), some deadends that in reality were open roads etc.
Reporting them through that web page was quite hard, and frankly I had no idea what subcategories (problem modifiers) I am supposed to select for e.g. reporting missing or non-existent roads.
2. Since Nokia owns NavTeq, shouldn't all the map/POI reports go directly through e.g. maps.ovi.com web page, not some NavTeq reporting tool? Now it seems there are two ways to report point of interests, either through NavTeq map reporting web page, or maps.ovi.com ("Good Things"). Why are there two different sites, and what is the difference? Do any of the "Good Things" in maps.ovi.com ever end up into NavTeq maps as POIs? Which tool should be used to report e.g. some nice hotel or restaurant you found abroad?
3. Further development: it should be possible to report these with the phone, because normally you notice these errors while you are on the road, and you don't have access to PC there. When you get home, you have probably already forgotten.
To make it more user-friendly, this "device reporting" could store the new POIs, map reports etc. into the device until next time the user goes online with the device/Ovi Maps (a bit like you can synchronize your Ovi Maps favourites nowadays), or connects the device to Ovi Suite. This is basically how e.g. TomTom One navigator worked, you could mark findings on the device, and they would be reported to TomTom when you connected the device to the TomTom Home application on your computer. This option is needed because many people use Ovi Maps in offline mode due to e.g. data roaming charges.
I think Nokia maps team should really concentrate on making the error/POI reporting more straightforward and userfriendly, because that is pretty much the only way to compete with the likes of Google (Maps) etc., where the user community is quite active. Hey, maybe Nokia could even give free Ovi Store credits to users who actively report new interesting POIs and map errors in Ovi Maps???

Out of date Brazil map on Nokia 3710

Hello,
I live in Brasil and I bought a Nokia 3710, which has an internal GPS receiver and came with Nokia Maps 2 pre-installed. I have already checked for both software and maps update on Ovi Suite. There was no software update, but Ovi Suite did update Brazil map.
Nevertheless, even though Ovi Suite has updated the map, it is still pretty out of date! I have also a Nokia 5800 with Ovi Maps 3.04 installed and it has a more recent version of the map of Brazil. The Brazil map in my 5800 is bigger and have recent streets modifications on my town, which the map installed on the 3710 doesn't have.
Does anyone know of an explanation to this? Shouldn't the map data be the same, despite of different software version? I feel a little deceived here, because I bought Nokia 3710 in order to use as a GPS device, and of course I expected to have the more recent version of the maps.
I can't think of an explanation to this, since Nokia currently owns Navteq, which is the map
Best regards,

As each new map series comes out with more detail or layers included it is increasingly needing more powerful devices to implement them. If you look at the restricted devices that can currently utilise OVI Maps v3.06 Beta from Nokia Beta Labs you will get a better idea.
Presumably your 5800 is using OVI Maps v3.04 with 00.01.25.114 maps for Brazil, although if you updated to aforementioned Beta version of OVI Maps using maps 00.02.41.123 you would find in some specific regions mapping is currently worse than previous version.

E90 Using Nokia Maps without using Data from mobil...

Is it possible to use the integrated GPS in the E90 with Nokia Maps WITHOUT connecting through mobile data and incurring data cost? Is there any other 3rd party GPS navigation software that would work like Nokia Maps, using stored maps et al, so you do not have to constantly download maps via your service provider, AND give you navigation instructions? As I understand, one has to pay for the "navigation" part of Nokia Maps.
If I am totally out to lunch, would someone please correct me? Thanks!

Nokia Maps loaded up to 90% then it bombed out.

Please, I upgraded my Nokia Maps to V2.0 and now when it is started it load up to 90% then it bombed out. Rebooted the phone (N95 8GB) and it did the same thing.
I tried to reinstall the application, format the memory and reset the N95's configurations without success.
I was not able to remove the nokia maps to try a completely new installation.
Thanks for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The problem is not with the map data so it has to be with the application. Since Nokia Maps is embeded in the firmware you will not be able to uninstall and reinstall the normal way.
To reinstall the firmware you will either have to reinstall the firmware or at least to reformat the phone. As the reformat is less drastic, this is what I recommend you try at this stage.
First, backup your phone. I recommend backing up to both mass storage and your pc.
Once you have backed up your phone, use the *#7370# code to reformat.
Once this is done, Nokia Maps should revert to the version that came with the phone, but it should work. You could if you want, try to update it to the latest version after that.

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.

YouTube, Facebook, Google Maps doesn't work - says Flash Player is out of date

Hello.
I have MacBook Pro since summer last year. In recent days, strange problem occured. When I want to open either YouTube, Facebook or Google Maps a window pops up saying "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue." (fig. 1) After clicking on OK, Safari shows page, that looks like Adobe Update page (fig. 2). After clicking anywhere, a setup.exe file is downloaded and thats all. After this, nothing else happens. I still cant view these pages and it is pretty annoying. I tried installing, uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player but it didn't helped. I also searched the web but couldn't find solution. Any help will be highly appreciated.

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

6210 Navigator out of date maps for South Africa

I have downloaded the newest maps for my 6210 navigator but it's out of date. There's streets that has changed names more than a year ago that still reflects as the old names. Also… If I search for street names or addresses it shows addresses for Europe not SA. Is there any way of getting the newest maps and search capabilities for SA? I contacted Nashua SA and they gave me a link for amAzeGps (no explanation or message – just a link – very unprofessional guys). This app is a misery to use and has hidden costs. I want my standard GPS maps to work the way it should for SA.

Data files of Nokia Maps

Hi Nokia Folks
I found that two copies of complete map data (0.1.29.100) for Nokia Maps v3.04 got different file sizes in total under the "cities" folder, though the two sets of map data are for the exact same (all) countries listed by Nokia Suite. They were all generated by clicking "download all" when installing the world maps using Nokia Suite.
Why could they have different sizes? I thought all the map data for Nokia Maps should read-only and they should have the exact same files for the same version of map data.
If you look at the files and folders under "cities", they looks identical but you may notice the some files are in different size and a few files are missing in the other copy.
As I got two copies, and they are different. I am confused on which one I should use after resetting my E72. They were all used by the same E72 before.
Any hints please?
Regards,
bbao

Out of date map

Hi,
I am getting an error out of date map because of an undefined element<fieldx> in my import map.
But this<fieldx> is not holding any value.
What should i do?
Thanks
Simran

Hi Simran,
Apart from the SAP note mentioned by Ankur, please follow the below link:
[Re: Import manager save Vs Save & Update]
This error ususally comes when your importing process is automatic. This problem usually occurs with XML files because the XML source that gives the structural error when importing, contains an element which had not been part of the original XML that was used for generation of the original map. Since this element is not defined as mandatory in the XSD the Import Manager could open it with no schema conflict. But since the source file contains a new element the Save Update option must be applied to add this new element to the map definition.
I hope I am able to help you.
Thanks & Regards

Ovi maps and Nokia Maps

I have recently downloaded the ovi maps update for free navigation on my 5800 however now I seem to have 2 programs in my installed apps menu, Ovi maps and Nokia maps. This is causing me some problems as my phones built in memory is now completely full and I am unable to do some things as I have ran out of on phone memory space. Which one is the main map software? And also can I uninstall one? If not then can it be installed on a MSD card and if yes how?

As far as I can determine Ovi maps is the mapping software (program) which installs to C (phone memory) and Nokia maps is the map data that you have loaded which I believe are installed to E (mass memory).
I can confirm that you do need both installed.
The problem as far as I can see is that the previous maps versions 3.01 is built into the current firmware (v20 for N97 - not sure for 5800) and installing maps 3.03 does not remove or overwrite the earlier version so you end up with both versions installed and thus the extra memory footprint.
This will remain a problem until a newer firmware is released which will hopefully have maps 3.03 (or later depending when next firmware is released) thus reducing the extra 9 megs or so used.
Hope this answers your question

Nokia Maps 2.0 don't show maps on N95

Installed the latest firmware on the N95 (V21.0.016 14-02-08 RM-159 A5.01), formatted the memory card, installed Nokia Maps 2.0 (v2.0wk21b02), started it (in order for MapLoader to work properly), installed MapLoader 1.3.8, installed the swiss and german maps via MapLoader (the files are definitively in the 'cities' directory on the memory card), rebooted the phone then started the maps application again. The GPS works find but no map is displayed (even though I'm in Switzerland, everything is just green background, no matter what kind of view (satellite, hybrid, 3d, normal) I choose.
What's wrong? Bad quality assurance?

I got it working!!! I sure hope this helps you all too!!!!
Firstly, make sure you go to the app. manager on your phone (usually found in the applications folder) and delete the nokia maps 2 from there.
Also reformat your memory card.
Then do what needtogetfit posted but I've made it step by step for ppl like me LOL):
Connect your phone to your computer using the "data transfer" NOT PC Suite. A folder should show up, if not, go to 'my computer' and it will be there as "memory card" or whatever you have named your card.
Open it and you will see a few files in there. Make sure you delete the folder "cities" or "diskcashe" if it is still there and also delete a file called qf-file. (for some reason they seem to stay there even after a reformat etc and that's what seems to stop the maps from being seen properly)
I also made sure I had 'show hidden files' checked in the tools/folder options/view so I could see if they were hidden or not.
I then installed the nokia maps from my computer onto my phone via PC suite.
Open up your maps (it may take awhile cause it's starting a new directory structure on your memory card to replace the ones you deleted)... and allow it to connect to the internet briefly so you can get satellite coverage. (dont panic, you will still only see a green page, but if you zoom out you should at least now see your country etc)
Once you've done that, close and connect your phone to your computer using the "data transfer" and open up the map loader program and download your countries maps + voices you may want.
Once done, go back to your maps and you will find that all the streets will be showing once again!!
I hope this helps, it worked for me and I tried it on two different reformatted cards that weren't working before this.

According to nokia maps , half my city is on water

i'm using a 6110 navigator with the latest nokia maps for navigation around Alexandria, Egypt. according to nokia maps a great part of the city, although showing streets and names is on water. in other words the map design shows blue water underneath a great part of the city's costal line with streets and complete blocks of buildings shown to exist on water.
this disturbing visual problem exist in the newest egypt map "8.1 Mb". has anyone else noticed this???
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

I sent my N97 (RM-507) off to the NokiaUSA care center a few weeks ago for the GPS antenna shielding fix.
This past week I updated to v20 firmware, did a hard reset and reinstalled all applications from scratch, including the Maps for the USA.
I'm running Nokia Maps 3.01 09wk30 b02
and Maps data version 0.1.22.103
Testing the GPS this morning....outside, no obstructions, clear blue sky....I get 5-9 green bars on the satellite fix, but my position keeps jumping around (including the altitude per Locations) and is 30-40 yards EAST of my actual position relative to the map background.
Using the Search function to locate my actual numeric address, the Maps application puts that about 30-40 yards WEST of the background indication based on the map background.
Thus the total map accuracy is 60-80 yards off EAST/WEST in terms of displayed position versus numerical address!!!
For comparison, I ran a test using Google Maps and allowed it to use the N97's GPS. Not surprising, it located my position quickly and accurately within about 8-10 yards, though it did continuing moving a bit but never more than about 2-3 yards at a time.
I am running out of patience with Nokia. The N97 has been out since July 2009 and their Maps software and GPS drivers are probably the worst that I've ever seen in terms of accuracy and stability.
I hear of others using Garmin software on their N97, but until I'm certain beyond a shadow-of-a-doubt that the N97's GPS hardware is stable, accurate and dependable I really don't want to spend the extra money for a 3rd party program and I definitely won't be spending any money on Nokia Map navigation license.

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?
