Please improve Ovi Maps

I recently installed Sygic on my N8. It's soooo much better than Ovi Maps.
Ovi Maps is constantly telling me 'route is being recalculated' (in Dutch) ... and it's telling my to turn around in the middle of a highway (Dutch A2/E25) or doesn't understand i;m driving under a 'highway crossing bridge' instead of on it.
It's hard to explain, but Sygic is giving me a relaxed and reliable driving experience and Ovi Maps irritates me and **bleep** me off.
This should be the other way around, because there is so much potention in Ovi Maps. So please .. improve it's navigation engine !!

Hi box30,
Could you please send examples of issues with more detailed info about the issues you're having?

Your feedback is important for us and that is a way to improve our products.
Thanks a lot,

The reason, why NOKIA made ovi maps free ? read th...

Helsinki - Nokia made a breakthrough by offering maps and GPS navigation service is completely free for users smartphone. Step the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer makes the GPS industry players stressed. Google is also subject to receive the effects.
"We are offering navigation for cars and pedestrians in 74 countries in 46 languages. Ovi Maps truly free," Jukka Husio said, director of marketing services Nokia in Helsinki, as quoted by the AFP detikINET on Friday (22/1/2010) . The new version's Ovi Maps can be downloaded at the Nokia website is, to provide full navigation features like voice guidance for driving, 180 state map, directions and content from leading partners such as Lonely Planet and Time Out. All are available without charge in the handset Nokia N97 mini, N97, 5800, E72, X6, E55, E52, 6730 Classic, 6710 Navigator and 5320.
Navigation industry players such as Tom Tom and Garmin affected by this initiative is estimated to Nokia's. And iSupply's prediction that the GPS market is likely to fall. Nokia also seemed to challenge Google is actively developing the navigation for free for Android handsets, such as the Motorola Droid.
For Nokia itself, of course, the move to improve its position in the global smartphone market. Some time later, Nokia is losing market share captured the iPhone and BlackBerry.
"I think Nokia's intention they can stop the decline in the smartphone market with that step. This service is useful and may attract enthusiasts because it become free. But I do not know if will be enough to stop the decline in market share of Nokia," said analyst Michael Schroeder of the FIM. (Fyk / Faw)

Free ovi Maps problem

Once again Nokia has exceded themselves in the field of ridiculousness:
I cannot download ovi maps OTA via software update on my phone and I have looked on the nokia website but cannot find a download for my laptop so I can install via USB.
I have an n97 with the newest software... please help.
(On another note, does anyone know why my n97 doesn't respond to any button/screen presses from time to time after unlocking screen? Any fixes?)

Hi, only way to get maps update is to go to nokia maps on phone browser and download N97 mini version ( it works perfectly) but it will take up about 9 meg of space on C. New version will be with V2.1 update when it arrives.
Good Luck

What is the name of the song featured on the commercial for OVI maps, the ad looks as though it's set in Florence, Italy but I'm not sure. Really would like to know. Also, I believe it's a female singer. Thanks a bunch, please help.

bah it was a royal pain the backside to uncover which damn song this was, but like the OP I too was enchanted with the melody. Anyway without further adu, the song is Donkey by Bachelorette. The song can be heard in full here:

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.

please help Nokia!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunally I would recommend a factory reset of the device
You cant uninstall Ovi Maps 3.06, and if you get a system error its usually the software that isnt installed properly somehow.
If you dont already got it, download and install Nokia Ovi Suite from www.nokia.com/ovisuite
Start Ovi Suite and follow the guide to connect your phone.
Do a Backup of your phones content via Tools -> Backup (in Ovi Suite)(Be aware that e-mail accounts and programs might not be in the backup)
Disconnect phone from computer
On the phone press Call, then typ *#7370#
Phone will restart.(This will remove your personal content from Phone memory and Mass memory)
Set time and Date (and timezone) correctly on the phone.
Connect phone to Ovi Suite.
In Ovi Suite choose Tools -> Restore.
Restore your backup (I would advice you to not restore 'settings')
Try and download latest Ovi Maps via Ovi Store in phone.

Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation

Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation
Mobile navigation for everyone, the Ovi Maps takes you where you want to be and shows you what you want see, with navigable maps for over 70 countries worldwide. All this with only one click. And it's all free.
- Free Drive navigation
- Free Walk navigation
- Free maps and map updates
- Free Events guides
- Free Lonely Planet guides
- Free Michelin guides
You thought Garmin and TomTom were in trouble when Google announced its free Navigation service? Wait until investors hear Nokia's news.
Reuters is reporting that Nokia will offer free navigation on its smartphones. However, instead of just the US (the current Google limitation sans hacking), Nokia will be demonstrating its reach by offering free turn-by-turn directions in 74 countries and 46 languages - a move that should cover 20 million smartphones globally with Ovi Maps available in over 180 countries.
Update: The original San Francisco Chronicle report has been pulled but Google cache caught a bit more saying that Nokia's navigation service is "capable of operating completely offline" unlike Google Navigation which requires data connectivity.
Update 2: Nokia just made the download link live. Hey, where's the N97 and N900.
Update 3: And it's official. Starting today, Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation is free across the globe. Drivers receive turn-by-turn voice guidance including lane assistance, traffic information (in 10 countries including the US), and safety camera and speed warnings while pedestrians will be guided on shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones in over 100 cities across the globe. It all works offline too, which should extend battery life and keep that navigation humming even while puttering about in data dead zones without racking up international roaming charges (take that, Google). From March 2010, all new Nokia GPS enabled smartphones will come installed with the new Ovi Maps application and pre-loaded with local country map data and walk and drive navigation with access to location-aware Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides at no extra cost. Additional premium guides like a weather service and events / movies are also included. Just 10 devices from Nokia's massive catalog are available today a list that includes the N97 Mini, 5800 XpressMusic, 5800 navigation edition, E52, E55, E72, 5230, 6710 navigator, 6730 classic and X6.

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...
Solved!

@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 3.3 Problem, wants to reinstall it.

I installed ovi map 3.3 on my n97 today. The weather and some other feature won't run. It simply gives me a running sign on the upleft corner of the icon, but does not really run.
I figured it might be the problem of having old ovi map running when I was updating to the newest ovi map.
Anyway, I want to reinstall it. However, I can't find ovi map in the installed apps list. Not on the phone or from pc suit.
Anyone knows how to reinstall it w/o formatting everything?

Follow the instructions in that link. As for future updates, just google Ovi Maps.

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.

Firefox 3.6.3 and Ovi Maps Plug-In compatibility

Hello everybody. I have a new problem since yesterday and I sure could use some help. My problem is that suddenly (since yesterday) when I open the Ovi Maps site (http://maps.ovi.com/) I don't see the map surface anymore, I just see a white surface!!! Everything else is in place. I can zoom in and out of this white surface I can even change to 3D and the blue sky on top appears but no map. Needless to say the same goes for satelite or any other option. No map appears. If I reload the page the map appears for a second and disappears immediately. When I deactivate the ovi maps plug-in (4.0.12.12), the map reappears and stays. I even tried to unistall it and reinstall it but the same thing happens, NO map visible. When I reinstalled it, it said that the plug-in is not compatible with firefox 3.6.3. The strange thing is that I didn't updated my firefox since yesterday, it just started to happen suddenly. I couldn't find anything like that elsewhere on the web so this place is my last hope. Has anyone had a similar experience or even better a possible solution? By the way I have windows 7 but I can't imagine a reason for this being relevant since it work just fine until yesterday. I thank everyone for his hint/idea/solution in advance.
Carlosl

Use Internet Explorer. I used to use ovi maps on firefox as well until FF suddenly updated itself. It works ok on IE.

Weird 5800 Ovi Maps problem

Ok, so I recently had an ovi maps application upgrade. I havent really used the maps since I got ovi maps and have been using google maps. Which was sometimes off by as much as 30meters. So I decided to use ovi maps for some time to see if it was more accurate, and what happened was something that made me go like "GPS my a s s!" It constantly locks on my location as my university, even if I was like 43km away. Anyway to refresh my location or something?
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

Ovi Maps seems to store most setup information in the qf file, so try deleting bothy the Cities folder and qf file. Then run Ovi Maps once, redownload the map data you need and then try again.

Ovi Maps deleted on 6303 classic

Hi,
In the past I unfortunately deleted whole application Ovi Maps on the phone 6303 classic, I didnt find the way how to get this application back to the phone. Please help.

Why do you want the application back ? Anyways, your phone does not have built-in GPS receiver so you can not use it..Yes, if you want to connect it thru' external GPS receiver device then the maps application becomes useful..
