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.

Try opening the contact you want in Contacts and then look in Options.

Cannot download 3.06 ovi maps for 5800XM after har...

Cannot download 3.06 ovi maps for 5800XM after hard reset. Any clue what's going on?

Similar problem on my E71 phone after upgrading the firmware to 300.21.012
I.e., when I start the application - it closes in a half way. Uninstalling is impossible.
When I start Nokia Maps updater - it says:
"Error. Cannot update licenses. Missing phone info: IMSI or IMEI cannot be obtained (20)."
Possible reason:
I've used Nokia Maps - Ovi beta before updating firmware to 300.21.012. After firmware update, I've updated Nokia Maps successfully with Nokia Maps Loader from the computer under Windows XP. But later I've restored phone info from backup, from another computer which is runing on Windows Vista. After restoring backup - I see my messages, etc., but Maps don't work at all (as written above).
Connecting through another computer (which runs under Windows Vista) - it says: "There are no new updates for your phone! Manage your maps and voices with Map Loader". But when I start Map loader - it looks as previous version loader; and allows only load voices, not maps. And still I can not start Maps in my E71 phone.
So how can I start using Nokia Maps again?

Ovi map for other country downloaded and installed...

I've used the Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 and connected with N900 but selected PC suite mode instead of Mass storage. I read alot that you have to select Mass storage for N900, but Ovi Suite won't then be connected with my phone, but works with PC suite.
I wanted to transfer country maps to the phone so I can use it offline. Selected the Map and downloaded and it said transfered to phone...so everything seems good. But when I go to open those maps on the phone...I can't find them anywhere at all! I'm not sure where they are.....I've check the 'ovi map', then the 'cities' folder but nothing. There are other files there but not titled with the cities i've downloaded. I tried to open those files anyways (having a "?" as their icon) and then selected I think 'Application' or something as ways to open the file.....then needed to download but 0kb...??? it then said unable to download, the file could be corrupted. So now..I'm stuck.
I don't know where the maps were transfered to. Oh and I check on the Ovi suite Map tab and selected my device, and it should alllll the cities and countries listed in my device (phone) already....but I can't find/open them on the phone. Much help and guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for reply. I did check the cities folder and it's not there...I've downloaded New York and cannot find it. Also, the folders I saw were all a few kb and not the appropriate size.
I went to ovi maps on the n900 and only showed me where I am, I wanted to open new york map but don't know where and how. I clicked on search and entered new york but then ask me to connect to the internet. It did and it worked but then that means I have to connect.
It said I can be offline for N900:
http://www.nokia.com.au/get-support-and-software/download-software/maps-support/how-to/maps-for-n900
I thought it can be veiwed offline, so how can I? I wanted to open the map when overseas but if there's no internet connection and I have transfered the map on the phone previously, I won't be able? =(

Error with ovi map for Cyprus

Today I updated my Cyprus Map. The roads are not displaying - only the outline of the island. The previous Cyprus map had the roads on.

Thanks for your input spyrosy.
I can believe your general statement. However; If you go to the ovi map selection site; Cyprus is still listed as a map to choose!
Going slightly off subject; I have a Garmin nuvi. I tried to get a Cyprus map for that. The main Garmin site does not offer it. However www.garmincyprus.com do have one on offer. I have emailed Garmin for an explanation.

How to use OVI map for free?

Is OVI map really free? I bought a 5800 XM last week. I don't have data plan. I have a problem with the map. I heard the navigation is free forever, this is main reason why Ibought it.
When I set a place and select "drive to", it always ask me: "Online connection required to enter the shop. Connect now?" when I select NO, it will not work. It can show where I am, but don't tell me how to go to my destination.
Could anyone tell me how to make it work?
Thanks.

Look at your other post, and try not to do multiple posts on the same subject, it makes it harder for people to help you and cloggs up the forum !

OVI Maps for C3 - why is it not available?

The phone supports the related JSR(179).
It is possible to connect (Nokia-made) GPS modules via Bluetooth.
The Maps application is available for other Series 40 phones.
Why is it not available for the Nokia C3?
Nokia Lumia 520 3046.0000.1329.2001 RM-914
Nokia Asha 302 V15.09 22-05-13 RM-813

The C3 is retailed on many emerging markets, where the customers are different; here the phone might serve as a "poor man's smartphone".
I assumed some kind of technical detail prohibits the app from being released; not having a landscape-capable version looks like a good reason to me.
Otherwise, even having the maps without GPS connectivity could be useful. What was the problem you encountered with the 3720c? Perhaps something there helped Nokia to make a decision not to pursue this path any further.

Nokia Ovi maps for N96

I have installed Nokia Ovi Maps 3.01 (the only available for N96), but my license has expired. I can't update it via shop (update unavailable, because Nokie doesn't sell them) and I can't use navigation because... license has expired. What should I do? Is it possible to remove license file (somehow) or bypass this unneeded check?

I don't think there's a lot you can do except wait for the Free Navigation version to arrive on the N96.
You could use the Contact Us link at the top of the page to contact Nokia Direct about this

bugs anyways) and pick "Send Feedback to Apple".
That'll send you to the same webpage for feedback

Hi James I'm glad that you are ok. And thank you for the hint about the bug reports on iWeb menu. It makes a lot of sense putting it there; I just never noticed it.

No Ovi Maps for C3?

I just got the Nokia C3-00, and have successfully installed everything I want on Ovi apart from the maps feature. On my old Sony Ericsson google maps was pre-installed, but nothing like this on the C3, I am happy with the phone so far but curious as to why maps seems to be available for every other Nokia except the C3? Not listed in the drop down box when trying to choose handset model and download. It's a relatively new model(April 2010 release date I think?)so it's not like it can't support the software.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi michellemckell
Unfortunately if it doesn't have the application built in then it's not possible to add it on that model. Whereas some previous Symbian S40 devices had maps application pre-installed although Bluetooth GPS receiver was required, this may have now disappear in future since Nokia no longer market their own LD-3W & LD-4W devices.

New OVI Maps - For N97 GPS problems fix

Its Suppose to be the solution to the GPS issues with N97 , honestly i didn't try it yet
my 1st choice was to uninstall the old maps & get back to maps 2.0 hopefully it well work this time
heres the link http://betalabs.nokia.com/ovi-maps

i have the latest maps installed 3.3. b07 and it seems to work fairly well which i could not have said about any prior release. 3.1 was a complete disaster in my case. give this new one a go and see how it works for you. i am for a moment impressed. it has not crashed my phone and actually seems to work, imagine that !!!
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

One for the safari 'wish list' ...

... one thing (about the only thing!) I like with the Internet Explorers installed on my work's Windows machines, is that I can select a block of text and print only that selected part of the page.
I've just had a look on Safari to see if the same was possible (I in fact wanted to export a block of text as PDF), and it seems not to be.
For example, I want to create a PDF with just a summary of chapter two of +The Catcher in the Rye+, and I couldn't. If I print the entire website to PDF (just to copy onto my USB stick for the moment, as I print everything at the school), it creates a fifteen-page monster. No problem, I can choose to print just one or two pages tomorrow, but .. wouldn't it be nice to be able to do this within Safari?

This has been a talked about feature that is missing from macs for quite sometime. The only way I know how to do it is:
1. Select the text you want to print
2. Click on Safari in the Menu Bar
3. Click on Services
4. Click on TextEdit and New Window Containing Selection
5. Print to a PDF from that new TextEdit window
Edit: The other option is to go to http://www.schubert-it.com/download/ and get the Print Selection Service program. This essentially does the same as above automatically by adding it to Services. You will have to logout and log back in to see it show up in services though.
Anyway. Good luck. Hopefully Apple will add this useful feature for us sometime in the future.

Wish list for next iPod software update

I don't know if this the right place or not, I was unable to find a better place for this.
Wish list for next iPod 5G software update
1.) Use the same folder structure as in iTunes (could be an option)
2.) Allow creation of custom eq settings in iTunes.
That's all for now. Thank you Apple for a great product.

A Happy iPod 80GB owner.

What the next update needs is a better way for ipods to deal with gapless albums, I have several albums that I put on gapless album cuz each track leads into the next one perfectly and that little pause really throws off the feel of the music. But I can't put either of those albums on Repeat All, Shuffle Songs or Shuffle Albums cuz then it only plays the one song in it's own playlist and to get to the next track I have to go back to the menu and scroll down to the next one, which is a hassle to say the least.
