Ovi map lane assistance

Hi,
Does anyone here feel the lane assistance in ovi map (3.04) is too slow. I found out that the lane assist figure will only show up when I am very close to the junction. By very close I mean, I am already at the traffic light or beyond the junction which kind of defeat the whole purpose of lane assistance. Is there any setting I can change to have it shown earlier?
Thanks.

There isn't a setting for lane assistance however at the top left of the screen is a small icon which shows the upcoming instruction and also the countdown distance to it.

Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation

Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation
Mobile navigation for everyone, the Ovi Maps takes you where you want to be and shows you what you want see, with navigable maps for over 70 countries worldwide. All this with only one click. And it's all free.
- Free Drive navigation
- Free Walk navigation
- Free maps and map updates
- Free Events guides
- Free Lonely Planet guides
- Free Michelin guides
You thought Garmin and TomTom were in trouble when Google announced its free Navigation service? Wait until investors hear Nokia's news.
Reuters is reporting that Nokia will offer free navigation on its smartphones. However, instead of just the US (the current Google limitation sans hacking), Nokia will be demonstrating its reach by offering free turn-by-turn directions in 74 countries and 46 languages - a move that should cover 20 million smartphones globally with Ovi Maps available in over 180 countries.
Update: The original San Francisco Chronicle report has been pulled but Google cache caught a bit more saying that Nokia's navigation service is "capable of operating completely offline" unlike Google Navigation which requires data connectivity.
Update 2: Nokia just made the download link live. Hey, where's the N97 and N900.
Update 3: And it's official. Starting today, Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation is free across the globe. Drivers receive turn-by-turn voice guidance including lane assistance, traffic information (in 10 countries including the US), and safety camera and speed warnings while pedestrians will be guided on shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones in over 100 cities across the globe. It all works offline too, which should extend battery life and keep that navigation humming even while puttering about in data dead zones without racking up international roaming charges (take that, Google). From March 2010, all new Nokia GPS enabled smartphones will come installed with the new Ovi Maps application and pre-loaded with local country map data and walk and drive navigation with access to location-aware Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides at no extra cost. Additional premium guides like a weather service and events / movies are also included. Just 10 devices from Nokia's massive catalog are available today a list that includes the N97 Mini, 5800 XpressMusic, 5800 navigation edition, E52, E55, E72, 5230, 6710 navigator, 6730 classic and X6.

E73 + ovi maps

sooo i just downloaded the maps for my e73 and it seems that "my position" is inaccurate.
its not too far off like others i've known but mine is like 1 state away.
anyone know the cure to this problem?
currently running ovi maps 3.04 on my nokia e73

@toyartillery
Welcome to the forum!
It would probably help to open this Nokia resource:https://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/e73/how-to/positioning/positioning... although it may be a little out of date as OVI Maps v3.04 slightly different.
Suggest that you only ENABLE "Integrated GPS" positioning method and go outside away from tall buildings for perhaps 20 - 30 minutes to allow device to achieve first positional fix.
You can enable Assisted GPS positioning method which needs a network access point later.

N8 - Downloaded OVI maps won't work offline

I have recently downloaded two map sets, so they could help me find my way outside my homecity. Since I downloaded them, I expected to have them available even without a network, simply because there's no network in many places I go to.
However, I can't check my position or the streets or such if I have no network. Is this how OVI Maps is supposed to work? Online only?

@tuxette
If you are without network access so Assisted GPS cannot be utilised, you are totally dependent upon Integrated GPS positional method and due to compromises in GPS antenna size/position within candybar form of N8 this may be unsatisfactory; ironically the E7 a similar Symbian S^3 has been reported as being better in this respect than N8.
You could find that using only Integrated GPS (found in Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning methods) that it takes 20 - 30 minutes outside away from tall buildings to establish first positional fix, although subsequently it would be easier.
Although no longer officially supported by Nokia there is nothing to stop you enabling Bluetooth GPS and utilising a Bluetooth GPS receiver, although this rather defeats the object and compatibility of said unit can also be an issue.

My position in OVI map not showing my correct posi...

I installed new version of OVI maps today.
when I clicked on "my position" , it is not not showing my position correctly,
why it is so? anybody has any experience?

@gavin_street
If Nokia Maps have not been used for a while stored ephemeris GPS data is out of date or similarly if application updated data can become corrupted. You don't mention whether you are hapy for Assisted GPS postioning method to utilise a network access point to contact positioning server = supl.nokia.com or whether relying solely upon the Integrated GPS of device. Try going outside away from tall buildings if feasible, launch Nokia Maps and wait 20 - 30 minutes for it to lock on to position.
It might be an idea to download LeGPSData2 application from Nokia Store so you can keep track of number of satellites acquired:http://store.ovi.com/content/208256

Ovi map on n97

When I got my n97 my map was working, then i had to deleted someof my memory on my c drive but I dont no what I did because now my map doesnt work and need help getting it back online. When I go into it now it say system error but I have the ovi map safeware 3.1..............HELP!

nothing you did all you could just fine. ok try the first code after you take out the battery for about a minute
and see if this helps any also in the c drive go through the file manager and try to remove the cities folder it will self replicate but it might have the old maps data that you dont need and it might be causing an issue
With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!
NOTE: In front of the hash key ( #) there is also a STAR key that people often miss and state that the code does not work.
1.. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data) Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345.
2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
3. hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, /GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

Ovi Maps crashes continuously on N8

Phone:
PR1.2
Custom version 014.002.269.03
Product code 059C8T6
Type RM-596
Ovi Maps 3.06_11wk10_b01_tb9.2_com
Map version 0.2.42.122
I have a newly bought N8. Each time I start Ovi Maps it crashes after around 0.5-5 minutes. No other applications are launched in parallel. I have tried to play switching on and off different positioning methods - it does not help. All the same, it crashes with any combination I have tried. Even if I switch off all the methods except built-in GPS, it crashes. I have restored the factory settings and reinstalled the OS. Before installing some applications, I have tried to start Ovi Maps - it crashes all the same.
It crashes in a strange way. It first freezes. Then in around 10 seconds the screen goes dark, then fully white and then the phone restarts. But it does not restart from the very beginning, as it does when you switch the phone off and switch it again (it shakes, then it asks SIM pin, then lock code). Instead, after Ovi Maps crash and the white screen, it shows the white screen with "nokia" on it (no pin codes are asked), then comes the desktop screen, no applications are running at this point yet, it does not react on the touch screen, no connection to the cell network. Then it starts to revive, connects to the GSM network, starts to react on the toch screen, on the button, refreshes the desktop, etc. It runs further as usual.
The questions are:
1) Is it a hardware or software problem?
2) If it is a known software problem, is a remedy going to be included in the coming updates of the OS and or Ovi Maps?
3) Are there some workarounds to have Ovi Maps in some form/regime running stable on my phone? Ovi Maps was really a decisive argument to buy the phone and now it turns out to be absolutely not usable...
4) Would downgrading of Ovi Maps help? If yes, how can I get the version 3.04 of Ovi Maps for N8? Or could it be that some other distribution of Ovi Maps 3.06 is more stable? How could I get it?

aspergerguy, thanks a lot for your comments!
“I notice that you are using Ovi Maps 3.06_11wk10_b01_tb9.2_com which is not pre-installed in PR1.2 (v3.06 11wk07 b01) so you must have updated at some point after resetting device. Did you try setting up pre-installed version following prompts before updating this application?”
I cannot say for sure, it was a month ago. Probably, I did. As experiment, I would try v3.06 11wk07 b01, if I knew, where I could get it. Ovi Shop offers only the version I have installed on my phone.
Anyway, I believe, it will not help. I have tried other applications (e.g., Sport Tracker), where positioning is in use, they crash the same way as Ovi Maps. The crashes are not related specifically to Ovi Maps. I believe, it is a system issue with positioning.
“If you go to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning server > Positioning server use - is it set to Auto. in home network?”
It was “always ask”, but I have changed it to “auto”. It does not help, the phone crashes as before.
“Did you try OVI Maps application whilst in USA (was it on TMO) before going to Germany?”
Yes, I did. It was with US at&t sim card and some German one. No difference, it was crashing the same way. It was also crashing without any sim card.
“There is obviously an issue with the Assisted GPS positioning method which unfortunately since OVI Maps v3.06 wants to make a lot more connections ( no you can't revert to v3.04 once vPR1.2 installed).”
There might be an issue with Assisted GPS, but it is far from being the only one. The telephone crashes if I have only the internal GPS switched on, the Assisted GPS and the network methods are switched off. It crashes all the same.
“As an experiment go to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning server > Server settings - is just supl.nokia.com listed or anything else as well? - if nothing else go to Options > New server - add supl.google.com (if another network server @ 2 remove it). Whilst pinging this server as experiment is no issue there is no authorisation for continual use by Nokia device(s).”
This part I did not quite understand. I have included the second server in the settings, but how can I ping from the telephone? Should I install a ping application for that?
With the second server the telephone crashes as before. No changes.
“With regard to wired headset included you really do need to press it in hard until it "clicks".”
Great, thanks! Now it is working! One has to push it really hard…

No offline search OVI Maps

Hi,
I am having a problem with my new Nokia 5230. The offline search does not work in OVI Maps. I installed the newest version 3.03 and uploaded the maps of my country (the Netherlands) to the phone. I am able to pick a direction while using the map itself but when i enter an address in the search bar it give the error: no offline results found.
Maps is in offline modus because of my subscription without internet.
tried entering just the streetname, streetname and city, streetname city and country, different streets...
anyone got a solution?
thanks

I am considering buying a Nokia phone here in NZ because it has sat nav, but I wont have a mobile internet connection - so I need it to work in offline mode.
The problem with many phones working properly 100% reliably offline (as a car GPS would) is:
1) the sensitivity of their GPS chips.
2) disabling features in your phone and Nokia Ovi Maps application that would cause it to go online.
Second problem is easily fixed. First problem is more difficult.
The sensitivity of many phone GPS chips makes them very likely to need A-GPS (Assisted GPS) to get a satellite lock in a short amount of time (and for reliable operation). This isn't necessary with dedicated hardware in most circumstances (their sensitivity is generally better than many phones).
I use an external bluetooth receiver (Holux M-1000), which normally gives a satellite lock in about 30 seconds. I would recommend it highly if you wanted to use your phone as a dedicated GPS device and wanted reliable and quick operation without Assisted GPS.

E6 - Ovi Maps Voice guidance over BT Car Music Sys...

OK everyone has been screaming out a lot on this issue, I had the same problem while using E71 before while using the Ovi Maps. (Refer my earlier post)
/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/No-Voice-Guidance-under-Bluetooth/m-p/665637#M21482
It seems Nokia have partly answered to this problem, but still there is big OPEN FAULT.
Got my Nokia E6 y'day and Tried the Map's Voice guidance while connected to my same Car System's BT (Blaupunk Hamburg MP68 - refer my earlier post ), here are the changes I noticed.
1) While playing music through CD/USB, Nokia E6 gives out Voice guidance while navigating through its "own" LoudSpeaker. THIS IS A GOOD CORRECTION to the previously noticed problem and the guidance is not lost.
2) Now comes the issue. While navigating, when there is a incoming or outgoing phone call, music stops and the phone voice conversation are routed to the BT music system properly (This is something the basic functionaly and it works as it as properly). But the Voice guidance is totally lost in this scenario!!! THERE IS NO VOICE GUIDANCE EITHER ON THE PHONE'S OWN LOUDSPEAKER OR THE BT MUSIC SYSTEM.
Nokia, expecting u to fix this bug sooner...
A Nokia Loyalist :-)

Looks like this fault will stay for ever...
Here's reply from Nokia Careline when complained this problem.

Thank you for contacting Nokia Careline.
We understand that Voice guidance of your Nokia E6 Ovi Maps gets lost when there is an incoming or outgoing phone call.
We value the importance of your feedback and we are here to assist you.
In response to your email, we would inform you that we can not comment on compatibility of Nokia E6-00 with non Nokia device (in this case, Blaupunkt Hamburg MP68). However, we have taken this as a valuable feedback and we have forwarded the same to the Consumer Feedback Division for their due consideration.

Ovi Maps work, then hang after a period of time

Hi,
When I use Ovi maps for navigation, I am able to set up my route, but then after a period of say 10 or 15 minutes, the application hangs and the screen freezes on the last know location.
I then have to exit out of the app, either by resetting the phone or sometimes just exiting.
I am then able to set up my route, where again after 10 mins or so it freezes
I have the latest firmware that is available in the phone, 21.0.004
The version of maps I am using is V3.04
I have performed several full factory / system resets, ie where I setup the country and time
I have no third party apps installed
I do also notice that quite often the email app does not always automatically push emails to me device, so I again have to turn it off and then back on for it to pick up my emails.
So I think in summary my device keeps half hanging, if that is possible
Anyone have any ideas what I can do before taking the device to my local Nokia service centre?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ok, I now have a fix,
Not that anyone was able to assist, but it may help some one in the future.
I spoke to T-mobile and explained that Ovi maps works when the phone network connection is switched off, but hangs after about 10mins, when the network connection is switched on.
The guy from T-Mobile then went on to say that there are a choice of two configurations that can be applied to my account, that control picture messaging (Yes I did say picture messaging) He went on to say that he would swap me to the alternative method for picture messaging.
I assume that picture messaging just controls the down and upload of data, so impacts the data throughput.
Anyway, he changed my setting on the account, and to my amazement when I went and tested out on the road Ovi maps no longer hung, and now works very well!
My biggest shock was that T-Mobile sorted this all out for me in 10 mins! althought it has taken me many months of testing and trying different things
Cheers

Ovi Maps, E52

Hi,
Last friday i was updated soft to 051.18 in my Nokia E52,
now when i turn on Ovi Maps to check my location,
i can see the map, and on the top of the display is information
"searching for location".
In navigation mode, when i set an destination place,
and choose "drive to" there is an information "Waiting for GPS".
Before soft update everything was OK.
Someone can help me?

Check the positioning method
Menu> Applications > GPS data and Options > Positioning settings >
Positioning methods> Assisted GPS > Options > Enable
If you use only Integrated GPS then getting the GPS to work you should go to an area open to sky.. The GPS lock may anything between 5 and 25 minutes depending upon the surroundings and weather..With A-GPS you may get that working much quicker..
Most probably, after the updates the settings have reverted to only Integrated GPS..
But keep in mind that using A-GPs may cost you a little as it uses the Network connection..

Ovi Maps 3.03 keeps going online even when told no...

So I've just downloaded the new free Ovi Maps for my 5800 and it's pretty nice, except for one thing: even when I set the conection to offline it still connects to the Internet every time the app is started (which, even though the app is fullscreen is visible when, for example you go into the settings screen). It seems though that after a minute or so it disconnects, but still, the old Maps app asked on startup whether to connect, this one just does without asking every time it's started... Am I missing some hidden setting?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Really need indication of which device you are using to give you relevant information here.
As it can take a while to establish position using "Integrated GPS" positional method, "Network GPS" can give approximate position based on cell tower triangulation and "Assisted GPS" can carry out numerical calculations much faster on remote server than using device resources.
In some countries just downloading regional maps such as UK is sufficient for "Search" in OVI Maps application in "Offline" mode to locate to postcode level, whereas in larger countries OVI Maps needs to be "Online" to produce this result.
As you have posted on the end off a thread headed "OVI Maps v3.03" unless you are using E71 I would be surprised if later version is not availble for your device from here:

Problem install ovi store and ovi maps?

my phone nokia C7 can not turn on, then I use a three finger salute to hard reset, and my phone can turn on again, but social networking application, ovi store and ovi maps are lost, I tried installing again, but always "unable to install", while applications else could, what happened? what should I do? I want to install it again.

Unfortunately that is one of the outstanding issues with the current firmware in the N8, E7 and C7. The hard reset does not reinstall Qt which is required for the apps you mentions. See this.
/t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/N8-Maps-problem-after-hard-reset/td-p/783327
Although it is possible to reinstall Qt, the process is highly complicated and should only be atempted by expert users. My suggestion would be to either get your phone reflashed at your local Nokia Care Point or to wait for the next firmware up[date which will hopefully include a fix for this.
