Ovi maps data update through Ovi Suite A bug?

Don't know if its a problem but the darn Ovi suite keeps prompting to update the maps data in my N97 mini even I have already done it twice. Seems like it just read and check my phone maps data and just erase everything and download all the data over again. Doesn't seems to be optimized. Should have program the updater check the data files size or date tag and just update those outdated files, instead of everything. If I have a huge maps data in my phone it'll be a loooong wait.
Anyone having the same problem?
I'm still getting prompt today to update my maps data. Doubt that nokia tech can update their maps data that fast.

You need to install the the free version of Ovi Maps, rather than update the one you had. Download and install the free version from here.

No updates through Ovi Suite

Hi all,
I am running the latest version of Ovi Suite for my Nokia C3-00.
My C3 still has SW version 03.61 and I suspect that some issues can be resolved through firmware update 7.20.
Unfortunately I can't get the update. I connect to Ovi Suite by Bluetooth without problems. But as soon as I press the update button, it checks the Ovi Suite upadte ( none available, as I downloaded yesterday ) and when it checks for phone updates it says it cannot connect to the service.
Ovi Suite has access to the internet, not blocked by firewall or AVG.
Software updates through phone itself ( FOTA ) will not work either, as the install SW update function is greyed out.
Help !
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the "Nokia PC Suite" ?
You might have to lie about your windows version and phone model to get it nowadays, though!
If you look here you will see that there is no option for updating software with PC Suite for C3-00:

Problem in updating OVI Maps After updating E72 De...

I recently checked the available updates for my E 72 Device & found the following updates available for the device.
1) Device Software Ver 051.018
2) Ovi Maps Ver 3.4(278)
I installed the Device Software first successfully, but after the update I'm trying to install the Ovi Maps update but it fails and I get a message
"Something Gone Wrong" - Couldnot install the applicationsvi Maps
There was a problem with the software update service.
Please restart Nokia Ovi Suite & try again.
Tried every thing even updated the Nokia Ovi Suite to the latest Ver.3.0.0.284, but all in vain nothing is working out. Kindly suggest the remedy to resolve the issue.

Although it would erase all data on device (need to backup) I would suggest that you reset E72 by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lockcode unless altered by yourself) and download OVI Maps from here: http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/downloads#/nokia-e72/ which you can always transfer to memory card and install it from there by finding it with file manager.

E72 using Ovi Maps, no sound through BT Carkit Par...

Hi, I am using the latest FW (updated today) and when using Ovi Maps I hear no sound through the carkit. Is there a setting which I have to change?

I am guessing that latest firmware 52.005 for your E72 has a later version of OVI Maps pre-installed in device firmware than you were previously using.There has been a change in OVI Maps v3.04 in the way voice navigation is handled with HFP = Hands Free Profile being used for both voice and voice with streetnames, whereas earlier versions used A2DP = Advanced Audio Distribution Profile for text2speech (voice with street names) and HFP for standard voice navigation.If you were using English with street names it was probably using Music input on Parrot MKi900 which would explain why it is no longer working.

N8 - Ovi Maps & Routing Speech through Bluetooth

Is there any way to route the voice directions from Ovi Maps to bluetooth headphones?
I tried the other day, with music playing from my N8 through my bluetooth headphones the voice directions were still only coming out of the handset itself!
Not much use if I'm using the satnav whilst riding a bicycle! That was one really useful thing I found about my HTC Desire - it would send the directions via the bluetooth headphones if connected, even if music was playing! It would pause the music, say the directions, then start playing again! Sadly then the battery would die before I reached my destination

I've got the same problem... very very annoying ! Ovi maps is useless for my bluetooth crash helmet. How can it be so long to be fixe by Nokia ?
I have posted this before but here goes again:- There is a work-around, which is not exactly elegant but at least good enough to use for this safety- relevant feature.
Record a file with 2 mins of quiet/no sound/empty room etc. Save this to your music directory on the phone. Before using the ovi maps open the music player and set this to play the quiet.mp3 continously/repeat. THEN when connecting your blue-tooth device and using the maps you will get the sound directions. This works because idiotically the blue-tooth sound directions are only active when "music" is being played. Which normally is unusable/distracting. If the "music" is in fact at most a light backgroud "hiss..." then this is not so bad.
p.s. One can expect a bit more battery useage this way. Good idea to have a charging facility on your vehicle. In my case with a 125cc Scooter I have built this under the seat. The BT works fine from there so I can use the maps while the N8 is charging.
Stay safe!

Any official word on Maps data update for Symbian?

Hello,
if anyone else still is using Symbian phone...
The wonders of the world are not over..
I'm just updating new maps to my Nokia 808 with Nokia Suite 3.8.54.

Most recent Maps data update wastes disk space

I noticed that used disk space on my N9 increased by 2GB and found that I now had these folders under cities: diskcache, diskcache_, MapLoader, and MapLoader_. I recently updated my maps and evidently the old diskcache and MapLoader folders were renamed with underscores and new ones were created, so I now have 2GB worth of the old Maps data and 2GB worth of the newest Maps data. This didn't happen after previous updates. I assume it should be safe to delete the diskcache_ and MapLoader_ folders. Has anyone else noticed this?

As far as I know, there is even a section
HERE! Location-based services from Nokia: Maps, Navigation and GPS
There's not much effort needed to find tones of threads for WP and almost none for Symbian.
There are even official video stickers of HERE Maps working on Lumia phones.
So I presume that yes, everybody is discussing HERE services round here. Why not do that for Symbian?
Besides, Nokia has made a commitment to provide lifetime voice-guided nav for Symbian devices. Without updates, the navigation is useless. If Lumia based phones are getting updates, I see no reason for us not getting them. I don't care who owns HERE (which is still Nokia, BTW). I purchased a Nokia phone.
I should definitely claim for it HERE.

Speed while updating through pc suit

How much speed is required while updating my nokia 6131 through nokia pc suit? Is there anyone knows that?

I doubt that software file for 6131 very large and your internet connection would have to be pretty slow for it to time out, as file stored locally once download completed.

It should be fixed if you upgrade to 6.24

OVI Maps keeps wanting to download data after upda...

I have the Nokia 5230 which I bought in July. I had also installed the OVI suite on my PC, which I used to download the full map of Malaysia and Singapore. I could happily use the GPS function without having to download large amount of data through the phone, or allow it to go online if I want to search for location. In the case where I wanted to use it offline, zooming in or out at any level allows me to see the roads and place names clearly.
A few days back while using OVI Maps, a popup came up saying a new version is available. I promptly allowed the download, but installation failed saying there "was not enough memory".
I uninstalled apps from my phone, including "Nokia Maps". After clearing up apps and getting about 40MB free memory, was I able to install the new version of OVI maps. I promptly re-downloaded the Malaysian and Singapore Maps through Ovi SUite.
Now I notice OVI Maps now download large chunks of data through my data connection during GPS usage. If I disallow online use, my GPS shows nothing but a blank "map". If I allow going online for the first time, and not the second time, when using GPS, the same blank appears if I zoom out or zoom in. It's as if the maps are not there, so data connection is required to download them. How can this be when I have already downloaded the Malaysian / Singaporean map to my phone through OVI suite? I have set on my phone and the OVI suite for the data to be saved to my microSD card.
Please help. This is driving me up the wall.

Here's what you can try to do.
1. Back up your phone memory.
2. Update the phone software.
3. Download Ovi Maps in this link : http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/free-downloads#/nokia-5230/
4. Remove the "qf" and "Cities" folder on your memory card.
5. Install the Maps Application on the newly updated phone.
6. Once the installation is successful, run the Maps on your phone but don't go online. This will re create the two folders that you deleted in the memory card.
7. Open Settings of the maps application then click on maps. Make sure that it will use the maximum allowable size (90%)
8. Download the Maps data again using Ovi Suite.
Every one can correct if I'm wrong. ^_^

How to re-install ovi map in C7

Hi, I have just bought me a C7 nokia phone. I tried to update the voice map application from ovi store and then I can not see the maps on the phone. When I connect C7 to my PC and check the map by Nokia Ovi Suite, it said that the map is either corrupted or not supported by the device.
How can I re-install or recover my pre-installed ovi map in C7?
thanks.

I accessed WLAN to download a small area of map through my C7 device, after that put back on with PC OVI SUITE map successfully.
BTW I have not updated the OVI maps application through the C7 device.
You can also access OVI Maps application update here:http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-c7-00...
You can then utilise "Update" feature within OVI Maps application to download mapping directly to device obviating need to use OVI Suite > Maps for this purpose!

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.

N97 Ovi maps clashing with Google maps or sports t...

I have a UK Vodafone N97, Had Ovi maps working a treat and really pleased with it. However, I just installed google maps and then Nokia Sports tracker. Sports tracker wouldn't "track " at all and this then stopped Ovi maps from finding a signal.
However, Google maps finds 3-5 satellites and plots very quickly so I know the GPS receiver is working fine.
I uninstalled Sports tracker and Google maps, deleted all Ovi map data and did a soft reset, then re-installed Ovi maps for the UK ( I can not delete Ovi maps app from the phone, software V21)
I still cannot get a lock with Ovi maps but having put Google maps back on, that works fine!!
Any thoughts other than a hard reset as I have so much installed on the phone.
Thanks,
Martin

Google maps uses a different server, and installing it may have changed the server settings in the phone location settings. Go to Menu>Apps>Location>Positioning>Positioning Server> make sure that the server is still supl.nokia.com
