Ovi Maps won't open in Nokia 700

I bought Nokia 700 2 months ago and I have been using Ovi Maps perfectly until last week, when after plugging my device in to my laptop I got a message that I should update the Maps application. I followed the instructions but there was not enough disc space, so the installation stopped. I unplugged the device and made some space, then plugged the device again and performed the update.
After that, I can use the navigation application as well as the check-in application normally, but the Maps won't open from the icon. I tried reinstalling software, reinstalling the maps, nothing. I cannot find the Ovi Maps version as the application does not appear in the Application Manager. I open the Maps settings, I can see the maps I have installed, but no info on the version.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks!
Solved!

OK, I think I solved the problem.
I had to open Ovi Store and download an update of the Ovi Maps (v3.09). It took some time but it now works fine. I couldn't find this update elsewhere, only through the Ovi store.
I hope this hels you as well.

If Nokia/Ovi Maps won't startup

This problem is usually caused by corrupt map data.
To fix this issue, you first have to delete the current map data. Using File Manager, delete the "Cities" folder on your memory card/mass storage.
Then start up the Nokia Maps application and download a few kb of map data so that it recreates the folder and file structure required for the map data.
Finally, reinstall your map data and voices to the phone using Ovi Suite or in the case of the latest Betalabs V3.06, using the Update function direcly from the phone.
This solution has been known to work with V3 when it too fails to start. With V3, Both the "Cities" folder and the "qf" file need to be deleted. The remaining procedure is as V2 above.

Hi thakaran
If it wasn't for the loss of data I would suggest that you carry out a "hard reset" with device off hold down green, red and camera keys while pressing power button until Nokia "shaking hands" appears which will make your phone revert to out-of-the-box condition. This will revert to OVI Maps version pre-installed in phone firmware, you may need to delete E:\cities + .qf file from memory card. You could always download OVI Maps update directly:http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/software/maps_i nstaller_3.04_10wk17_b07_s60_5.0.Nocs.sis

C6 Ovi Maps/Navi works, connecting to Nokia Accoun...

Greetings,
The location sharing feature seems really cool and I'd like to use it with my new Nokia C6. Ovi Maps and navigation works fine for me, however it will not login my Nokia Account. That whole menu is quite buggy actually. It does not "forget my account" either, but if I click it then restart my Nokia, I can re-add my login details... then it attempts to login, but nothing happens. I left my phone to try and login all night, in the morning it still said "Connecting to Nokia Accounts.." and if I cancel it, i will have to click "forget account" and reboot nokia again to make it reappear. Several attempts didn't work though.
I've updated to both latest Symbian version and Ovi Maps.
Is there another Nokia Approved App that would let me share my location? (as often and automatic as possible)
Thanks in Advance

I re-installed the phone's firmware and this has fixed the bug!

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.

Ovi maps doesn't accept my Nokia account user name...

It was necessary to do an *#7370# reset on my phone, every things is fine now, except the point that I can't log on to Ovi from the maps application to get my maps favourites back to the phone.
Maps doesn't accepts my user name anymore. I got an error massage "no special characters allowed", but I have dots in my user name.
I don’t have any problems with logging on to other Ovi services either they are PC based nor from my mobile.
Creating a new account doesn't bring me back my maps favourites, therefore it's no solution for my problem.
I tried to install an older maps version, but have sis files for version 3.03 and 3.04 only and both versions doesn’t allow my to log in to Ovi.
Does anybody has an idea what to do?
Thanks for help in advance!

Why don't you contact Nokia using the 'CONTACT US' tab at the top ??
Have tried e-mailing support @ Ovi reply was "go to accounts>Nokia account>sign in" which is what I'd explained wasn't working. Called the Nokia help line & told to delete maps & reinstall which is what I'd tried previously, tried again but still doesn't work.
Navigation actually works with data download but still doesn't log in to enable sync. I still suspect it's something to do with a setting in the active sync profile.
So I'm waiting for 1. Ovi help to reply to second e-mail and 2. the call centre to reopen Monday

Ovi Maps 3.04: voice problem (Nokia X6)

I bought a Nokia X6 yesterday and I upgraded everything. So I have the latest Ovi Maps (v3.04) but there is no voice during drive or walk. I've deleted the 'cities' folder and the 'qf' file, then I've downloaded maps and some languages. I tried the navigation with each language that I've downloaded, but there isn't any voice.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First check to ensure that you have a voice selected. To do this, when in Maps, click on Spanner>Navigation>Drive Guidance. You will now see a list of voices. The ones with a little phone icon to the left are the ones already installed on your phone. Make sure you have one of them selected. Note there is a different voice setting for drive and walk.
Second thing to check is the navigation volume. After you start navigation, use the the volume up toggle.

Ovi Maps v3.06 (Betalabs) on Nokia N8, problem wit...

Hi,
I encounter a problem with the "checkin" on Ovi Maps v3.06 from the Betalabs. It use to function perfectly untill a few days ago i always have the message "Network problem, please try again later" each time i try to checkin. Fact is that there is no problem with my network, all other function and apps are working just fine on my N8.
I completly reinstalled Ovi Maps 3.06, still the same problem. Restarting the phone doesn't help eather.
Anyone with the same problem? Or any advice?
Thx
N8-Wizard !!! Click the white star if you are happy with my help !!!

The first I would try is to uninstall and see if it that stops the restarting. If it does try reinstalling Ovi Maps v3.06 again and see f it recurs. Don't forget to follow the betalabs instructions and download new map data after the install.

Apple maps won't open

When i try to open apple Maps, it starts, then crashes.
I also have issues with other apps crashing while being used.
Resetting the ipad doen't help. I'd be happy to delete apple maps. but since it is not available for downloading from the app store, I'm reluctant.
Suggestions?

Try downloading another app - any free app will do. See if that resets the other apps.
Trying quitting/closing Apps. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar with the recent apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on one of the icons until they all wiggle. Then tap the minus signs in the corners of the app icons to close them. Close all apps. Tap the screen above the task bar. Restart the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. Hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to peer up again.
You can also try a reset - hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider -let go of the buttons.
See if any of these things help.

App Store, Pages, iBooks, Maps won't open in Mavericks

I see I am not alone in having this problem. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

If the Pages app is not in your Applications folder, and if signing out of the App Store and signing back in again won't permit you to reinstall Pages, try the following:
Sign out of the App Store, then quit the App Store.
Select (triple-click to select the entire line), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears select Services > Reveal in Finder:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
Drag the highlighted file to the Desktop.
Repeat with the following two lines
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
Open the App Store again, select the Purchases list, sign in, and attempt to install Pages again.

(Some) Bing (formerly Multimedia) maps won't open properly

I am trying to access the maps associated with the names on the list of plaques at:
http://www.bristol.gov.uk/page/list-blue-plaques-bristol
on a computer running Windows Vista Home Premium and AVG Internet Security 2011.
Many of the maps have an overlay indicating the position of the plaque and giving the position of the plaque and names and distances from railway stations (see Ernest Bevin, the second name on the list). However, some of the maps do not have such an overlay (see Eric Ball, first name on the list).
When I try to open the maps using Firefox 7, I find that those without an overlay open without any problem, while those that have an overlay close immediately - in the blink of an eye, so to speak - and this problem persists even when all add-ons and plug-ins are disabled. However, if I try using IE 9, all the maps open without any difficulty.
This would suggest that the problem is somehow due to Firefox, but the puzzling thing is that my wife's laptop, also running Windows Vista and AVG, will open all these maps in Firefox without any problem at all.
Can anyone suggest why this might be happening?

Also: Setting the Finder to always open folders in a new window DID fix this, but I'd rather not do that if I can avoid it.

Maps 3.0 won't open E71

I was trying to update my Ovi Maps. I had my phone on a USB 1.1 connection and wanted to move it to a 2.0 connection so I stopped the Ovi Maps installation at the point of when it installed new maps. Now my Ovi Maps won't open. The Map loaders says I need to open Ovi maps once before I can load maps but I can't open it! Is there a way to uninstall then reinstall Ovi Maps?

Thanks Angelrico101 - help yourself to a star
I tried to install the Maps software after deleting Cities and the QF file but to no avail.
Inadvertently I clicked on Maps and it worked so before I started downloading map info I ran the Map Updater software and I have half of Europe on there.
I can now save the battery on the X6 by using the N96 for geocaching.
Thanks again

N86 GPS won;t turn off with Ovi Maps 3.04

Ovi Maps 3.04 seems to have introduced a serious bug on the N86, in that after Maps has been run twice, the only way to turn off the GPS receiver and get rid of the GP icon is to switch off the phone.
Plenty of reports of same on the Nokia Ovi Maps Beta forums, see
https://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-beta-for-mobile/bugreport/gps-receiver-not-turning-off-on-e...
Please can we have a fix for this urgently as it kills the phone's battery life - which is bad enough as it is.

I am experiencing this same problem with the GPS icon showing after exiting Ovi Maps 3.04 on my Nokia N86 8MP NAM version running the latest firmware 30.009. .
This problem doesn't happen on my daughter's 5230. So I know it is certainly a problem localized to the N86 8MP.

N97:Ovi Maps crashes after a few seconds

On N97 I had Ovi maps working like a breeze for some weeks now. All of a sudden I see this behaviour. Open Ovi Maps, see the main page, click on My Location the map appears a message about connecting might cost you something and the Ovi Maps disappears.
What should I do the get Ovi Maps working againg. Oh, btw Internet works just fine.

The original maps app that came with the phone will always be there (like music player or photo viewer or web browser) Maps 3.04 works fine on my N97. Best way to install is to remove (as you said you did) all Nokia/Ovi maps from Installed Applications, then download Ovi Maps 3.04 Beta from Nokia Beta Labs. Then use Nokia Maps Loader on PC to first remove old maps, followed by downloading and installing the map data for your region onto the phone (the stuff the Maps app uses to find where you are and to navigate) to avoid having to download 'on the fly', this speeds everything up and avoids data usage. Maps should then work fine ! Well it works for me !!
Good Luck

E73 + ovi maps

sooo i just downloaded the maps for my e73 and it seems that "my position" is inaccurate.
its not too far off like others i've known but mine is like 1 state away.
anyone know the cure to this problem?
currently running ovi maps 3.04 on my nokia e73
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@toyartillery
Welcome to the forum!
It would probably help to open this Nokia resource:https://www.nokiausa.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/e73/how-to/positioning/positioning... although it may be a little out of date as OVI Maps v3.04 slightly different.
Suggest that you only ENABLE "Integrated GPS" positioning method and go outside away from tall buildings for perhaps 20 - 30 minutes to allow device to achieve first positional fix.
You can enable Assisted GPS positioning method which needs a network access point later.

OVI maps shuts down without warning

We have the latest version of OVI maps on both our phone (Nokia E71 and Nokia C5).
when using the Drive-To Navigation.
Sometimes, without any warning, the phone screen goes black, a Nokia logo is briefly displayed, and both the phones go back to their respective homescreens.
Now, it's a bit annoying when this happens at a key point on the journey.
(We know it's not the screen-saver starting, so can rule that out)
Ovi maps is then no longer listed as one of the phones open applications.
So we have to then re-open Ovi Maps, re-input our desired destination, and start our navigation all over again.
It then continues to work fine... until at some random point it'll happen again.

I take it the original post referred to Maps version 3.01. I occasionally have a similar problem with v3.01, and it's only when A-GPS is active. You can try using A-GPS to get a quick lock, and then after a few minutes disconnect from the internet (i.e. rely solely on the GPS satellites). From within Maps: Options--> Tools--> Go Offline.
See if you continue to have problems.
