Ovi Maps Help/Support

Hello,
I have installed the new Ovi Maps on my N97 on 7 July and it was fantastice upgrade. Gps locked on quickly and the map was excellent. However, yesterday I needed to use the sat nav on the phone and after launching Maps, everything map wise has disappeared!!! The GPS still picks up sattelites and locks on to my position, except on an offwhite coloured map with nothing to follow. I don't know what to do, I have free European License until Oct 09, does this mean outside of UK and the free license I got for UK, when i first got the phone is gone?
Any advice/help would be much appreciated as I am due to go to London this Friday and need to use my phone's sat nav for the journey.
Thanks,
Don Kerleone

Is OVI Maps supported on C2-02 in India?

Nokia India website says OVI Maps is supported on C2-02 in India. I installed OVI Maps using OVI suite and it said maps was successfully installed. However, I cant find the application icon in the phone memory/sd card. I took this to the Nokia Care Center and they said OVI maps is not supported.
Trying to figure out if OVI Maps is supported in India on Nokia C2-02? How do i get OVI Maps on Nokia C2-02?

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…

Help me locate this place for my Ovi Maps ?

Hi
I'm trying to search for this place in preparation for when we drive there in rental car from the airport:
Evans & Tselepi 21-26 Aghios Nikolaos 72100, Crete, Greece
Ovi Maps can't find it via online search - not sure if this is related to greek-english translation issues.
Can someone advise me further ?
thanks

HELP- Ovi Maps - Not accurate?

Just acquired my X6 phone last week...with importance on choosing this model being the Sat Nav package. First thing I did was downloaded latest Ovi Maps etc and have been trying system out over last few days. (Using UK Maps in Central Scotland) However...I'm having lots of varying problems continuously including:- 1) Routes are often completely wrong...taking you in the wrong direction, miles away from the route that it should calculate. 2) Big lags in messaging and corresponding map data appearing on screen. e.g. You arrive at a roundabout... before you get any voice instruction at all. Then, you've passed through the roundabout and heading merrily on your way...yet the voice instructions are only beginning to tell you that you are approaching the roundabout... and which exit to take. I mean ....way too late. 3) General lags can be as much as 300 meters. e.g. Map is 300 meters behind your actual position. Then it catches up...only to fall back again. 4) Also seems to show up occasional side roads and junctions which don't even exist. 5) Suddenly...for no reason announces "recalculating route" and appears lost for a while before getting back to where it should be. 6) Other spurious, non sensicle voice commands - e.g. turn right - whilst traveling along a stretch of motorway! I've tested running alongside my old Sat Nav system and also a Tom Tom which work perfectly...but Ovi Maps on my X6 is so far out... it's totally usable. Do I have a problem with my phone...or is it the OVI Maps system faulty? Anyone else experienced this. Solutions? HELP PLEASE!

Hi Comodo,
Two examples:-
Trip 1 - from Postcode - G62 6RA to KA12 8RR: Completely wrong route calculated (which I followed out of curiosity) taking me in a very long indirect route. I could find no logic to it at all. Also got badly lost with ridiculous instructions at various sets of junctions and roundabouts when joining the M8 motorway near city centre Glasgow. There were a great number of errors during this journey. (The interesting thing was that it calculated the same journey in the opposite direction correctly)
Route 2- from KA8 9AE to KA12 8RR - various problems and errors including lags and delays in info and incorrect instructions or very late instructions particularly at roundabouts.
Thanks for your interest. What do you reckon?

Ovi Maps does not launch anymore on my 5800 Xpress...

I have the latest ovi maps for my nokia 5800 (3.06, and also the latest firmware of the 5800), and everything was working fine until yesterday when I click the Map icon, the application is not launching... I did not install anything new, it just does not want to launch the application (no error message, just like i did not press the icon). I had the same issue couple of weeks ago when suddenly the ovi maps stopped working (i had to reset my phone and reinstall everything), and today it's the same all over again...
Do you have any idea how to fix this? (i have around 40Mo left in my phone memory, so there should not be any memory problem i guess....)
Thanks!

@XanderVDB
Presumably you have Ovi Maps v3.06 (688) installed http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/ ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk23_b05_s60_5...
Don't know whether you restored from a backup after resetting device and have re-introduced a problem.
Perhaps try removing E:\Cities + .qf fle from 5800 and store safely on PC desktop, as empty folder structure re-created when you next open Ovi Maps application.

Ovi Maps 3.03 Weather icon is still absent (E72)

Weather icon in Ovi Maps 3.03 (E72) disappeared on May-1-2011 and still seems to be absent.
It's in Online mode and other Ovi Maps online services work OK (Lonely Planet, More, Events)
I did notice similar recent messages posted here about weather icon being gone on Ovi Maps 3.04 and 3.06.
While the original posters replied that the icon has since been restored (due to service technical issues), however it's still absent in Ovi Maps 3.03, at least on E72 (in USA).
I'm not sure if anybody else could confirm this issue in similar configuration.

Welcome to the forum!
Presumably you have made a conscious decision to remain with OVI Maps v3.03 rather than v3.04 available here?http://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-down...

How to install OVI Map navigation for N95

Ok, getting very frustrated with this now. I have given my dad my N95 to help him get around but just cant get the map navigation to work. I downloaded the Nokia Map Loader (I had to go to a third party website as the Nokia links were all broken) and have the map/voices but when my dad tries to use the navigation it tells him he has to pay.
Obviously, I know that Nokia have now made these services free to complete with other company's devices, I'm just being stupid and not going to the right place to download them. When i go to www.nokia.com/maps on the phone it doesnt do anything. I've been trying for over a day now and the phone has almost made contact with the wall a few times - sorry to be a numpty, but how do you install the OVI map navigation stuff on the N95! :-)

@Cowes67
Let's clear up any misunderstanding here, upon N95 there is no legititimate way of obtaining free voice navigation with version of Ovi Maps upon N95 as you would need to purchase a license!
You should run Ovi Maps application with a microSD inserted in N95 which will re-create necessary folder structure for Nokia Suite > Maps to recognise it.
Please note that standalone version of Nokia Maploader apart from version for Mac users ceased to be functional several years ago.
I still have N95 in use so post again if any further queries over this issue.

Ovi map on 2700c

Hello everyone, i am using nokia 2700c..It has ovi map pre-installed in it. But the problem is whenever i search a place it shows no result. And if luckily it shows result then it doesnt shows the place means it just shows the blanck page with no area map...please anyone help...

@Jas14
2700 Classic is very difficult to offer Nokia Maps support for as some early firmware versions had Nokia Maps installed whereas later ones did not.
Without GPS it is just like having a "paper" map installed on your phone, there is more advice on how to download more mapping if needed although space is an issue in this thread:/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/nokia-2700-clasic/m-p/1048665/message-uid/1048665/highlight/true#U104866...

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.

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.

OVI Maps update on N8

Hi, sorry if this has been posted elsewhere.
My OVI maps updated today on my N8 via OVI Suite. What was in this update?
many thanks

Yes, it's probably the new 3.06 official release that you have got via the Ovi Suite update which became available for N8 on the 7th Dec.
A newer beta version of 3.06 continues still to be available at Beta Labs. It contains some additional features compared to the current 3.06 release, e.g. downloading of street maps directly to the phone.

Hi bolsenior
Whilst in OVI Maps click "Search" (turn phone into landscape mode so that you can use full screen alphanumeric keyboard) and input co-ordinates as DD MM SS.SSS n DD MM SS.SSS w but you can miss off "leading zero's".
