Ovi map search offline problem

Whenever I search for a location offline on my E72, I end up with no results available.
After fiddling with my phone for the better half of a day (including first using online search then turning off the internet to use offline search), I tried deleting all the maps on my memory card and installing only the maps for the areas I need through the OVI suite. Having read earlier threads on this topic, I was sure to wait until the index files were fully transferred.
Now the offline search works, but only for locations within my own city. For locations in the neighboring city, though only a few dozen miles away, I end up again with no results available.
Is this normal or is there any other way I can try fixing it? Thanks.

Hi sherryglass
Unfortunately I think it is also related to size of country, as with world maps on E72 I can do detailed search of UK "Offline" but say for example USA it has to be "Online"; that said access point in OVI Maps application can be via WLAN or network.

  • N900 Ovi maps search

    Hi,
    I have a problem: i downloaded latest phone update /20.2010.../ and update the map from ovi suite- should be the last one.
    When i got into the software, and try to search a city, always ask me for internet connection, even when the device is full of GPS signal.
    I checked , through ovi suite- yes i have yhe latest ovi maps+ latest map.
    If i refuse to use wi-fi connection- the search fails.
    My question is- how to browse between places, in the map, w/o internet connection?
    Thanks.

    Momodi - 
    Anyway you can also try a different map application..
    like "Marble" ,'sygic mobile maps' ...

  • Ovi Map 3.3 Problem, wants to reinstall it.

    I installed ovi map 3.3 on my n97 today. The weather and some other feature won't run. It simply gives me a running sign on the upleft corner of the icon, but does not really run.
    I figured it might be the problem of having old ovi map running when I was updating to the newest ovi map.
    Anyway, I want to reinstall it. However, I can't find ovi map in the installed apps list. Not on the phone or from pc suit.
    Anyone knows how to reinstall it w/o formatting everything?

    Follow the instructions in that link. As for future updates, just google Ovi Maps.

  • Ovi Maps with stored offline satelllite images fro...

    Hello
    So far I know that it's not possible to use the built-in satellite view from Ovi Maps when offline.
    But might it be possible to configure Ovi Maps such that it takes stored satellite images from a specific location on the phone (e.g. memory card) instead of downloading them from its pre-configurated map server?
    If so, it would be possible to download maps / sat images from Google, Microsoft Live, Yahoo or whatever and include them in Ovi Maps - would be a great feature!

    nobody an idea?

  • Positioning Server on 5800 Ovi Maps

    I keep getting the following message when using the new Ovi Maps Navigation - Connection to network positioning server required.  Costs may be incurred.  If I say no then I can continue and get the free navigation as advertised, but is there any way of stopping this message coming up?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    MENU -> Apps -> Location -> Positioning Server (turn to DISABLED)
    Settings -> Connectivity -> Destinations ->
    1. Remove the STREAMING profile permanently by deleting the setting from telco.
    2. In the INTERNET section remove all the telco settings.
    3. In the MULTIMEDIA section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G MMS only and delete permanently the rest of it.
    4. In the WAP SERVICES section remove all the telco settings except the one applicable for you, as in my case my SIM card is 3G, so I just keep my CELCOM 3G WAP only and delete permanently the rest of it.
    Note: screenshot settings may vary from service providers, above is applicable for one of the Malaysian telco
    The reason you are deleting the unwanted settings is a special cause which you will overcome the credit drain issue.

    Nokia OVI Maps Online & Offline Map Searching Issue
    1. Setup your WiFi setting.
    2. Verify the WiFi functionality (browse some web page).
    3. Set the WiFi as 1st priority inside the destination (internet) setting.
    4. Set the WiFi as the default access point (for the internet).
    5. Delete the WAP / MMS / STREAMING settings and left the 3G Internet (as 2nd priority inside the internet setting).
    6. Edit the 3G internet setting and change the "password prompt" to YES.
    7. Load up the maps loader.
    8. Click on the delete maps from storage.
    9. Reload in the maps (at least the malaysia map must be selected).
    10. Load as well the voice guidance file.
    11. Wait for all the downloading and uploading finished.
    12. Run Location and disable the agps and network under positioning setting.
    13. Run the OVI maps.
    14. When the 3G internet prompt up select cancel (do not connect) (if it still pop up, suppose wont because we already disable A-GPS and network in Location setting).
    15. Go to setting and change the internet to online.
    16. Select appropiate voice guidance file.
    17. Go outside where more satelite can be search.
    18. Now go to my location and wait for the satelite to get a fix (might be take long since no agps)
    19. Make sure the red dot are "IN MALAYSIA".
    20. Change maps mode as SATELITE view to try the WiFi can download the satelite image (to ensure WiFi is working).
    21. Once confirm WiFi working switch back to maps view.
    22. Walk around and you will see the GPS is working already (since it already lock, red dot will turn SOLID RED and satellite bar should be green).
    The most useful for the 3G internet password prompt when agps and network positioning enable:
    1. Select YES during the password prompt you will have A-GPS (fast lock with charges).
    2. Select CANCEL during the password prompt you will have full I-GPS (slow lock but FOC).
    Steps 18 and 19 are needed because sometime during the first time OVI maps run it will set it "previous' location as some where maybe not within Malaysia and if this happen and you dont have those location maps downloaded in the database then it will direct download from the internet and who know which access point it gonna use (if it use 3G internet then you will lost lots of phone credits for those huge maps data), confirm this if you dont have the maps data install it will direct download the file.
    Below is a screenshot shows, full OFFLINE guide, see the GPS INTERNET connection is striked out:

    The method / settings above uses device to GPS satellite connection directyl, therefore please go outdoor for better coordinate locks.

  • Ovi map - My Position icon MISSING (N8)

    Hi,
    I just got my N8 few days ago. After updating Ovi maps to the newest version ( 3.06 if not mistaken ) I have noticed a few problems.
    1) My Position icon is totally missing, that means i can't locate my current position in gps. that's really bad.
    2) Gps cant lock even after a pro-long scanning time, moreless 30 mins anywhere. I'm using intergrated positioning. Red signal blinking, no data found.
    3) I tried to delete the CITIES folder and qf file, and reinstalled the ovi map downloaded, but problem still remains.
    I haven tried anyform of hard or soft reset  yet, as i found lots of people facing problems doing that. Is there any other way to ocmpletely remove ovi map & reinstall it again, or i need to do a reset ?
    I would like to get some advice from you guys on solving my gps issues. Thank you

    Some cars have coated windscreens which can reflect gps signals and this will slow down position fix. One way of testing would be to compare how long it takes to get a fix in the car as out of the car. I generally get a fix after about a minute.
    My suggestion if it is a windscreen coating problem would be to get yourself an external bluetooth gps receiver. They are very cheap nowadays. The advantage of using this is the external receiver is usually much more sensitive and you can also place them anywhere in the car to get the best possible signal.  I have a few of them. They work well and would normally get a position fix in seconds. 

  • Ovi Maps for E-Series Wish List

    I've tried for a while to switch from Google Maps to Ovi Maps, but Ovi Maps is just lacking in too many ways.  I thought it would be time to start a wish list and hope that someone out there in Nokia land is reading:
    When looking at search results in Map mode, an up or down press on the 4-way key pad moves to the next or last search item.  This should allow you to scroll around the map and view the proximity of the search items.  It is currently impossible to scroll up or down on the map.  Google Maps uses specific keys for forward and back and leaves the 4-way key pad for navigating. 
    The data base that Ovi Maps searches (ie restaurants, etc) is very limited.  I often cannot find what I'm looking for and have to go to Google Maps.  In Google, I find what I'm looking for and then have to remember the address to import it into Ovi Maps.  Ovi either needs to get a better way of searching the web or needs to figure out a way to import starred items from Google Maps easily.
    Ovi Maps can't look inside my own phone at the Contacts for an address.  So often I am looking for an address that is in my contacts.  It would be great if Ovi Maps could look up a contact.  Should be easy, right?  Since Nokia wrote the Contacts app and the Ovi Maps app, they should be able to link them easily.
    Thanks for reading.  Please add to this list as you see fit.

  • 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.

  • OVI map problem with E52

    Hi,
         Iv been using E52 for the past 11 months and loved the way OVI maps worked but about 2 months back i had some serious problem related to keypad and since the customer care couldn't fix it they replaced it with a new E52. I am not able to use OVI Maps properly on this new E52 meaning my current location is being shown and also in the search option I am able to search for places but when I am selecting the location and opting for drive to or walk to option then the waiting for GPS option keeps me waiting forever. With my previous E52 this problem never exsisted and the route map was created immidiately. I dont mind using the map service over the GPRS instead of GPS. I have updated the firmware and also installed the latest nokia OVI map software, updated the maps but still facing the problem.
    Please Advise.

    @Manish4ever
    Welcome to the forum!
    I am assuming that you will have the same functions as on my E72 a similar S60 3rd FP2 device.
    Suggest that you go to Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings > General > scroll down list to "Positioning"  > Positioning methods - temporarily disable ALL except Integrated GPS, go outside away from tall buildings if feasible, open OVI Maps application and wait 20 -30 minutes necessary for it to establish very first positional lock.

    [SOLVED]
    hi,
    Yesss, i have found the problem.
    The problem was in Latvian localization. There was something that didn't let to start the programm.
    What i did:
    I changed phone language to English, the phone restarted;
    than opened navigation and it started. Accepted the agreement, and everething went OK.
    Then i changed back to Latvian language. The phone restarted. and for some time was very slow. I opened the navigation, and navigation started. Went in some menu. Then phone somehow restarted(some bug?) for 2 times, in time when i was in navigation soft.
    But then it went OK, and everething worked as well.
    Also there are some words in navigation soft that are not translated, and stays in Lithuanian language, but i hope soon they will be fixed
    I hope this post will help to some people, and they will save some time, while searching for solution

  • 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.
