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?

    Hi kornik30
    It does work in offline mode, try entering the <street name> <city> <country> in that order, in the Search box.  You probably need to enter <country> only if you're currently residing in a different country from that which you're searching for.

  • Ovi maps v 3.06 danger zone with maps : France v 0...

    On France maps version 02.43.117, speed camera location have been removed from Ovi Maps whereas it works on the previous map versions !
    A new menu called "danger zone" is displayed into setting. I checked the france map but i didn't see any danger zone...
    So how "danger zone" works ? How to edit the danger zone list and adding it on the map ( with the speed limit and an overspeed warning like it previously worked ) with this new feature named "danger" zone ?

    @gg35000
    Welcome to the forum!
    This is interesting, could you check for me in E:\Cities\diskcache\safetyspots what version of 1.0.0.**.europe.cdt you have installed?
    AFAIK the IRB on May 11,2011 took immediate action to ban "The warning radars , which are an incitement to violate the rules on speed limits" to fight against the increase in road deaths recorded on French roads since the beginning of the year and the relaxation in behavior that is the cause. (apologies for the translation).
    I notice that if using 1.0.0.42.europe.cdt with OVI Maps v3.08Beta "Offline" I get this result:

  • E51 and Maps with Ovi

    Hello everyone,
    I have installed the Nokia OVI application my laptop running windows 7 and connected to my Nokia E51 using a USB cable.
    I noticed that I could install OVI maps with an update.
    I let the OVI application handle the download and started the installation, on my E51 I told the installer to continue, I accepted the certificates and I saw a screen with a bar which said "installing".
    After this I can't find any thing like nokia maps in my instalations folder.
    In my OVI application I can't install any maps.
    The same happened when I used the nokia website to find a version of Ovi maps for my E51: 
    http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/default/
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Yours sincerely,
    Frank

    You cant install maps until you have ran the maps application once.
    Please check under the applications file. Also, where is the old maps application which was bundled with the device? That would be what you will open since the new maps app just replaces the old installation.

  • Ovi Maps 3.03 keeps going online even when told no...

    So I've just downloaded the new free Ovi Maps for my 5800 and it's pretty nice, except for one thing: even when I set the conection to offline it still connects to the Internet every time the app is started (which, even though the app is fullscreen is visible when, for example you go into the settings screen). It seems though that after a minute or so it disconnects, but still, the old Maps app asked on startup whether to connect, this one just does without asking every time it's started... Am I missing some hidden setting?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Really need indication of which device you are using to give you relevant information here.
    As it can take a while to establish position using "Integrated GPS" positional method, "Network GPS" can give approximate position based on cell tower triangulation and "Assisted GPS" can carry out numerical calculations much faster on remote server than using device resources.
    In some countries just downloading regional maps such as UK is sufficient for "Search" in OVI Maps application in "Offline" mode to locate to postcode level, whereas in larger countries OVI Maps needs to be "Online" to produce this result.
    As you have posted on the end off a thread headed "OVI Maps v3.03" unless you are using E71 I would be surprised if later version is not availble for your device from here:

  • Downloading Ovi Maps 3.3 For N97

    i've just got checked my SW update and it saids i can download the new ovi maps3.3 but comes up with failed when i try and download it =S ???
    so ive gone on nokia and downloaded the the n97mini but it dont show me the paths thro the park and ally ways. it takes me the long way round only shows me the roads when im on walk mood
    and dont show me the 3D land marks =S
    anyway way to fix it ??

    My N97 has the latest software. I cannot install Ovi Maps with free navigation v.3.03 via my phone software updater.
    First, I got the a message saying "not enough memory - delete some data" - I have 29 GIGS in mass memory and 73 MB on phone memory.
    THEN I reinstalled the old version of Ovi Maps and now begins the install (nearly to the end for about 30 minutes) and NOW I get the message “download failed.” Tried it now 5 times (restart phone, etc). 
    When I tried to download the new map app via Ovi Suite (I have the latest version), the new Ovi Maps version does not show up at all in as an "update." 
    When I attempt to download the new Ovi Map app s via the web, it points me back to my N97 to download via the phone software updater (so caught in a loop).
    It is forcing me to download via my phone sw updater, yet fails every time.  What do I do?
    PS: I always have problems like this with this stupid, expensive phone and wish that I had never purchased it and I am sick of having to come to this board to do anything with this useless POS phone!!! Thanks for listening,
    A very annoyed US Customer.

  • N97 Ovi Maps - Internet usage disabled after upgra...

    Recently upgraded phone software and maps - everything works fine except when activating Ovi Maps at which point I'm prompted to 'Go online'  which when prompted, the  phone confirms no internet connection - tools online - and I get the message on screen Internet Usage disabled.
    Everything else installed on the phone works fine - including all the internet related software, email , facebook etc
    Appreciate that others may be having same problem as we carried out same upgrades on second phone in the house last night and................Same problem

    Has anyone got a solution for this issue? I had my first n97 arrive on monday, today I had to swap it as it didnt work properly. I have got to grips with my new one and upgraded things when prompted, everything seems to be working perfectly except when i got to ovi maps.
    Ovi maps worked fine on the frist n97 handset but not a lot else did. on this new handset its just ovi maps with the above problem, when I go into maps it says no internet connection and propmpts me to select 'go online' i do that and get the message 'internet usage disabled'
    Ive tried all of the above except the GPRS/EGDE thing as I cannot find that anywhere on the phone.
    Any help is appriciated as its been a long week trying to get n97s to work

  • E51 fw 411.34.001 vs Ovi Maps

    Hi all,
        I have one problem with Ovi maps on my E51. They works just fine until I instaled latest firmware  411.34.001. After that phone couldn't run Ovi Map with error message that map application needs to be updated. So I downloaded latest Ovi Map application available for my phone (Nokia_Maps_2.0_4503_3.1_u) and install it, I downloaded all maps again, but it still does not work. Application now try to start but during initialization throuw up message that I need to update it. Great advice since this is latest available version on Nokia web site.
    Can anyone from Nokia tell me why the only visible change in last fw is that maps are not working anymore? And of course what to do with it. It's little bit stupid after huge marketing halo about free Ovi maps to find out this function is not free for the older phones but it's not even available in case I want to pay.
    Greetings
    Jerry

    hi guys, try to use version from http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/nokia_maps_3.01_09wk44_b01_s60_3.1_lm_rom...
    it works for me with fw 410.34.001 although 411.34.001 not available for me anyway.

  • 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.

  • 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 Maps v3.01 satellite images goes blank!

    i have N95, and i downloaded the new Ovi Maps a few days ago. i like to report a few bugs I'm experiencing!
    I deleted the entire Cities folder before installing the new Ovi Maps, so it was a clean install.
    anyway,
    when i updated my maps for my country by nokia map loader, i use my wifi to download satellite images.
    when i use ovi maps, sat. mode the screen goes blank at some parts ( i don't see sat images) just street maps.
     but i know i downloaded the images. so i use wifi again to download. same thing happens, screen flikers and goes blank.
    One other thing happens often, Ovi Maps just quits, when i pan around for a while!

    but i heard other people having a similar problem, thier maps are not saved! or get corupted after a while!
    anyway, overall, great new features, and the bookmark sync, is great. 
    Ovi maps is almost perfect! can't wait for the updated version, i just wish they could integrate Nokia friends view with ovi maps.... just imagine if u can navigate to u'er friend when they are on the move

  • 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.
