OVI Maps - Check In

After getting an Update Maps text the other day I installed the new OVI Maps.
When I try to use the CHECK IN function I keep getting the message "There are currently network problems. Please try again later" after clicking Update my position.
Anyone any idea as to why this is happening?
I have a Nokia X6 on firmware version 30.0.003
Thanks

I've got exactly the same problem on my E52.
After installing the latest version of software for my phone - 052.003.283.01 - and the latest Ovi Maps - 3.04 - Ovi Maps don't check in - don't work in online mode. All my settings are ok, other aplications can use internet connections - but Ovi Maps appear to be permanently in offline mode (even that "online" mode is set).
Everytime I try to use internet connection in Ovi Maps, I get the same message - though in Polish
What is going on?

Which version of Ovi Maps are you using and on which phone ? If it's Symbian^3. the new beta Maps at Beta Labs is very good ! May work better for you ?

Nokia astound C7 Ovi maps "Check in" not working.....

I'm on t-mobile USA and I have been unable to get ovi-map's check in feature, or set up the social networks in the ovi maps. Every OTHER feature of ovie maps works just fine, the GPS, loading terrain data over the 3G network etc... just whenever I try to "Check in" I get "There are currently network problems, Please Try again Later." as an error message.
I've double checked all of my connection settings, and they seem to be fine, ovi social and other apps like opera can connect to the web just fine.
Is there *actually* network trouble that's been going on since June? or is there something wrong with the software / my configuration.
Also, this is kind of un-related, but Google Maps 4.1.1 (also 4.0.0) crash when it initializes the GPS functionality of the phone. I'm fiarly certen these are unrelated, but maybe there is a problem with t-mobile's default settings?

does not work on mobile carriers internet or wlan. I have also made sure internet in maps is on. I am running ovi maps v3.06

Ovi Maps, Check-in feature not working on N8...

Right my problem is, I cannot use check-in feature on my N8, I keep getting the following error message come up..
[There are currently network problems, please try again later]
Has anyone got a fix for this?
many thanks

Hi, Are you using the internet to connect with your maps? or are you browsing offline? Im guessing the issue could be with the way the application uses the web. you could try checking in your options menu in the maps application and see what APN is selected. For example if you have your home WI-FI set as default then you will get that kind of message coming up. Check to see if you can connect to the web at all, just through the browser. failing all these check how old your sim card is. i hope some of these suggestions help.
Cheers

Unfortunally I would recommend a factory reset of the device
You cant uninstall Ovi Maps 3.06, and if you get a system error its usually the software that isnt installed properly somehow.
If you dont already got it, download and install Nokia Ovi Suite from www.nokia.com/ovisuite
Start Ovi Suite and follow the guide to connect your phone.
Do a Backup of your phones content via Tools -> Backup (in Ovi Suite)(Be aware that e-mail accounts and programs might not be in the backup)
Disconnect phone from computer
On the phone press Call, then typ *#7370#
Phone will restart.(This will remove your personal content from Phone memory and Mass memory)
Set time and Date (and timezone) correctly on the phone.
Connect phone to Ovi Suite.
In Ovi Suite choose Tools -> Restore.
Restore your backup (I would advice you to not restore 'settings')
Try and download latest Ovi Maps via Ovi Store in phone.

Nokia Maps / Ovi Maps Installer

Hi All,
I heard that we were now able to get maps and navigatoin for free, is this correct? I have a n95 and when I go to use the navigation feature in Nokia Maps (just updated it), it says that navigation is a premium service and that I have to pay for it.
I thought there might be a new program available so I tried to install Ovi Maps from the Ovi Store on the phone but it just gets to "preparing to install" and then says "Update Error" and quits.
I have tried reinstalling the firmware but get the same response. Does anybody know what is going on, have I missed something?
Thank you.
Tom

Hi Gregorycharper,
As your phone is a S60 5th edition, I believe that the last stable release of Nokia Maps was 3.06. Versions afterwards like 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09 were solely for Symbian^3 devices running Symbian^3, Symbian Anna and Nokia Belle: http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-07/download_and_installation I'm not too sure if 3.06 graduated from Beta Labs into Nokia Store, but you can always check Nokia Store for the latest version listed there.
Yes, you could always switch your SIM card and memory card with your son's phone if you believe it is a software issue, or that it is a hardware issue. Likewise, checking the Maps data and installations when your phone is connected to your computer in Nokia Suite. Apart from Nokia Suite and Nokia Maps on the Nokia website to download the installation files, there is not really any other place to source the installation files.
Hope this helps.

Avoid internet connections when using ovi maps.

I own a E60 and have the latest version of Ovi Maps for Belgium on my cell phone.
In my internet settings I mentioned: connection -> Offline. As such I expected not to connect to internet at all and only usethe local maps.
But my last bill mentioned quite a few internet-connections. Is this in order to search (faster) for my own position ? If yes, is there a way to avoid these connections ? If not, any idea what another reason could be (although I don't use mail-functions, ... on my cell phone) ?

Hi Chessness,
If you have set your connection to Offline mode, your maps will not connect any more. So your case should be caused because of some other application or feature of the mobile.
Try to check if you have any application (like social networking apps or weather app, etc..) which use internet to function. Also check if you have any settings enabled in your phone to use internet (like check for automatic software update or somehting like that). You can take the timing of the usages from your bill, that might help you to understand your phone usage more.

Diwa

[INFO TIPS] How to survive with Ovi Maps 3.0 insta...

Quick info tips. I wanna made this post earlier but I was on few days trip so didn't have a chance... but it's good coz I was tested GPS in real touristic environment.
I'm from Europe so I don't know how all links posted below will be works for people outside Europe.
My hardware: E63 with latest firmware + external GPS module LD-4W
Everything what we do here, we do with phone connected to the PC via USB cable in PC Suite mode and with fully battery charged.
If you have Maps 2.0, everything works well for you and you payed for any of licences - better stay with that version and don't touch Ovi Maps 3.0. Waste of time and nerves.
1. Please make phone data backup in PC Suite. Please make data backup of your memory card.
2. Check if you have firmware upgrade for your phone (click on some icon in PC Suite). But if you have cracked Symbian and you using cracked software better stay away from firmware upgrade. There's new cracking method for newest firmwares, ask Google. I don't use it, I'm clean. If you have new firmware - update the phone.
3. Download MapLoader - http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download-maps/map-loader Do fresh install or update old MapLoader
4. Bluetooth MUST BE turn in phone. Why? Ask Nokia. -_- Just kidding but unfortunately it's not funny. Without Bluetooth Ovi Maps 3.0 installed in next step (6.) is crazy as hell. Application is completly unusable, skipping, switching... one big hell on the screen. I don't know how it looks like in phones with build in GPS module.
5. Download Ovi Maps 3.0 - http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download-maps and update with this installer old Maps 2.0 in the phone.
6. Run Ovi Maps 3.0 and allow to download via Internet connection in your phone (wifi, gsm, 3g) some portion of initial data - 300 or 400kB - something like that, up to 1MB maximum then disconnect from Internet. It's needed to save some file (I don't remember name) and make structure of catalogues on memory card.
7. Leave Ovi Maps 3.0 and run MapLoader. This application is one big pain in **bleep**. Sometimes doesn't see your phone, sometimes doesn't recognize correctly your memory card size (when you are finished downloading your map/s data that stupid soft can say to you "you don't have" or something like that)... horrible! If something goes wrong - try restart your PC and phone then connect again via USB cable - still in PC Suite mode.
8. When luckily you have maps on your phone, try to pair your phone with your GPS module via Bluetooth or turn on build in module in other models (I think it works like that?).
9. When you will be look out for licence for walk navigation... you cannot find it. You can see only your region name (in my case it was Europe) and you have an option to buy... licenses for drivers. ROTFL! Licence for walk navigation is "hidden option". You must go here - http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/maps-support/how-to/how-to--use-map... - it's mini FAQ how to obtain it.
What I see, there's NO MORE free trial licenses in Maps v3.0 You must pay from day one. I buyed that licence for walk navigation for 10,12E (10 euro 12 euro cents) and it's not time restricted - looks like lifetime, ofc for the phone that you use (I think). Other licenses (for drivers) are time restricted (30 days and up as I remember).
Everything works fine for me. I was over 220km away from my hometown in awesome town Wrocław and Ovi Maps 3.0 helps me A LOT with navigation and searching for monuments in this town.

NOKIA IN USE: N8

Ad. 1) "...Please make data backup of your memory card."
Because maybe you must be format memory card for proper maps installation (instead upgrade from Ovi Maps 3.0 installation level old installed maps from v2.0).

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.

This feature is certainly present in latest version of OVI Maps from Nokia Beta Labs:http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-06-check-in-update
Whereas previously only contents of folder could be removed, now "collection" can be deleted.

First time using "Nokia N8 Ovi Map"

hello,
im first time using my n8 ovi map, and i wonder why it took hours for checking for my position,
after 2-3 hours of waiting, it still searching for my position. instead of keep waiting, i switch to walking mode, and set a destination, now it shows "waiting for GPS". i have been waiting for more than 1 hour, sadly it still showing "waiting for GPS". Anyone experiences this problem before? please provide me some solutions. thanks.

@NokiN8Silver
Welcome to the forum!
You might try as a temporary measure going to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning methods - only enable Integrated GPS then go outside away from tall buildings and it should lock on to satellites within 20 -30 minutes; once position established subsequent satellite lock on will be much more rapid.

Just to check that you also removed .qf file?
As a worst case scenario you may need to backup essential data, then reset device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself) which will revert to version of OVI Maps pre-installed in device firmware and start upgrading again.

Ovi map, start - close - start again, crash!! plea...

I have an N97mini, Software version V 12.2.110, custom version 12.2.110.232.01
My ovi map version is v3.04 10wk32 b03 MW, map version 0.1.25.114
I perform following operation sequence:
start ovi map, everything seems work. Exit it by touch the "X" at the bottom right corner.
start ovi map again, everything freezes, wherever I touch including "?" and setting, i receive no response whatsoever.
I have downloaded only California map onto the device. Please help!

Hi there,
Following is what I have done:
1. hard reset the phone as you suggested
2. config wifi on my phone so that map can be downloaded later
3. formated E: (I don't have a memory card, massive memory is always used)
4. config the positioning to use only integrated gps as you said
5. install ovi map the exactly the file you suggested. this is done by first copy the installation file to a directory on E: and then use Application -> office -> file manager to run it
6. After ovi map is installed, download CA map via wifi. Then I go back to ovi map menu and start the map, it asks whether I want map via wifi, via ovi online or .... I forgot, 3 options, weird, since I downloaded the map already.
7. then I click "X", the problem still there. ovi map freeze sometime, it can not be started for the second time when it's not freezed at the first.
I wonder is there a way to really clean up everything in the device and start from scratch? I did a device firmware upgrade via ovi suite after I got the phone. I don't know whether that matters. I have received following email from Nokia customer care with suggestions, shall I try it?
