Tracking option in Latest Nokia Maps gone

Hi everyone, Ive updated my Nokia Maps on N95. Used their 3 days free trial, and now the tracking option has disappeared from the route menu. On the old version you could plan a route from A to B, and instead of Navigating there, you could use the Start Tracking option. This seems to be no longer available. Now if I plan a route, it wants me to buy the navigation stuff. Has any one else had this problem. The maps app is practically useless now unless you want to buy a licence key.

I too was made a victim of Nokia's failure to inform 'Maps' users of the lack of Tracking capabilities in the latest version of Nokia Maps.
I couldn't have been more dissapointed with the latest installment of a program which i had previously been very happy with! My reasons are simply,
1) I don't think the interface is accesible as that in previous versions of Nokia Maps
2) The lack of tracking capabilities
Like so many of you in this discussion i updated Maps and found i disliked the update and wanted to revert back to the latter version, easier said than done but i managed to do it...
First I performed a Hard Reset (*#7780#): WARNING, i recommend backing up the phones data first, i found this out the hard way!
After setting the country, time, date etc i found that Nokia Maps and a number of other Applications had been replaced by another set of icons and were named differently, eg. Nokia Maps now couldn't be opened and was called Smart2Go.
To rectify the apparently worsened problem i downloaded the Nokia Software Updater which informed me that although i had the latest Firmware i could reinstall it - i did this and PROBLEM SOLVED!
I hope by sharing my experience others might have their problem solved. I think the solution lies in reinstalling the phones software on Software Updater.

  • The latest Nokia maps version(00.02.41.123)

    Whole Europe:
    http://static.s2g.gate5.de/map5/maploaderzip-00.02.41.123/312.zip
    As I have not seen any discussion about this version 00.02.41.123 of maps here, does it mean that no version other than map appl v.3.06 is able to work with these maps?
    Map application v.3.06 works on the following phones:
     Symbian 3: N8, E7, C7, C6-01
    S60 5th Edition: N97, N97 mini, X6, C6-00, 5800XM, 5235, 5230 & 5230 Nuron

    http://symbian.clanteam.com/indexmaps.htm
    The map link is from the above site. There are countries too. The bad thing with the Clanteam site is that they do not mention very exactly what their maps are.
    Maps for the latest version of Ovi Maps (the former Nokia Maps) from maps.nokia.com, and for the latest beta test version of Ovi Maps 3.x.
    Maps for Ovi Maps (Nokia Maps) 3.x
    Those are the (Beta) maps for application 3.06
    Or I don't know whether Nokia calls those maps beta any more!!!
    The most interesting thing with the appl 3.06 and  the maps -00.02.41.123, is whether those
    work with other Nokia phones than those mentioned in the first post of this thread!!!
    Or whether the app. 3.04 works with the 02.41.123 maps?? Some one wants to try?
    I know it's frustrating to download such a huge package (2.8 Gigabytes) but it's up to Nokia to facilitate that.  I need the whole Europe for planning the summer trip.  I've 00.01.23.112 version of maps( from cityindex.xml-file) and appl. 3.04.  Those are not working  very well.
    I need quickly figure out whether I need to replace my  car navigator  with a new one or can the current Nokia maps and appl be updated in a way that  those can be used for planning the trip and are useful during the trip. It's hard to know what is going to happen with the maps in the future. Perhaps Nokia makes the latest "beta" maps and appl available to all "smartphones" perhaps not.   I bought C5-00 and it has certain limitations: small screen size for navigation, perhaps too weak gps chip, slow processor and too little memory. But the small size and weight makes it very practical to have it with me once abroad.
    Hardly Nokia minds if some one who has managed to download the whole continent makes it available to others through a file sharing site or similar!! The maps are free and it's in the interest of Nokia to share those maps to so many as possible. There are plenty of problems with the maps already, hardly they want more customers who are complaining all the time not getting what they want. Newer versions of maps and applications come with improvements..

  • Using Nokia Maps favorites into Nokia Drive

    Hello everyone,
    is there a way to use my Nokia maps favorites into Nokia drive ?, i don't understand why we don't still have that option in a menu somewhere already.
    Thank you for your help

    Which lumia have you got? If you have a wp8 device and the latest Nokia Maps update you should be able to access your favourites using Nokia Maps and navigate from there which will automatically start Nokia Drve.

  • According to nokia maps , half my city is on water

    i'm using a 6110 navigator with the latest nokia maps for navigation around Alexandria, Egypt. according to nokia maps a great part of the city, although showing streets and names is on water. in other words the map design shows blue water underneath a great part of the city's costal line with streets and complete blocks of buildings shown to exist on water.
    this disturbing visual problem exist in the newest egypt map "8.1 Mb". has anyone else noticed this???
    Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

    I sent my N97 (RM-507) off to the NokiaUSA care center a few weeks ago for the GPS antenna shielding fix.
    This past week I updated to v20 firmware, did a hard reset and reinstalled all applications from scratch, including the Maps for the USA.
    I'm running Nokia Maps 3.01 09wk30 b02
    and Maps data version 0.1.22.103
    Testing the GPS this morning....outside, no obstructions, clear blue sky....I get 5-9 green bars on the satellite fix, but my position keeps jumping around (including the altitude per Locations) and is 30-40 yards EAST of my actual position relative to the map background.
    Using the Search function to locate my actual numeric address, the Maps application puts that about 30-40 yards WEST of the background indication based on the map background.
    Thus the total map accuracy is 60-80 yards off EAST/WEST in terms of displayed position versus numerical address!!!
    For comparison, I ran a test using Google Maps and allowed it to use the N97's GPS.  Not surprising, it located my position quickly and accurately within about 8-10 yards, though it did continuing moving a bit but never more than about 2-3 yards at a time. 
    I am running out of patience with Nokia.  The N97 has been out since July 2009 and their Maps software and GPS drivers are probably the worst that I've ever seen in terms of accuracy and stability.
    I hear of others using Garmin software on their N97, but until I'm certain beyond a shadow-of-a-doubt that the N97's GPS hardware is stable, accurate and dependable I really don't want to spend the extra money for a 3rd party program and I definitely won't be spending any money on Nokia Map navigation license.

  • CityExplorer (Guides) not available in Nokia Maps ...

    Hi,
    I upgraded my N95 to Nokia Maps 3.0.
    Downloaded the latest Nokia Map Loader (3.0). But there I can't download any Services as in the old Map Loader.
    There are no Global guides from Lonely Planet, Michelin, and WCities possible to download, as described in on the Nokia Maps homepage.
    CityExplorer Services
    I have purchased a 2 years licens for CityExplorer. But anyway, it's not possible to download with Noka Map Loader 3.0.
    Downloaded Nokia Map Loader 2.0.2 instead, there the folder "Services" is still available. But when I click on that, it always tells me:
    Connection to the map server has been interruped. Make sure your Internet connection is working and retry. If you are still unable to download, try again later." 

    All right. So with POI you mean for example the petrol stations, restaurants, or shopping centers near my position?
    I find them when I select "Explore" in the Map 3.0 menu.
    Also, when I click on "Show Detail" at my current possion, or at one of the POI's I can select, and I have the internet connection online at that moment, then I will see the actuall weather information for this place.
    The same when I click on the places I have saved under "Favorits". When I click on "show details", then I see the weather information about this point. (when Internet connection is on). - Nice!
    But anyway, I'm missing the "Lonely Planet & Michelin" guides. Also I haven't found the "WCities entertainment" yet, described in in the link I posted in my previous post. Maybe it's only available for a few cities.

  • Nokia Map loader 2 hangs on splash. Urgent pls hel...

    i am going overseas soon. need this working urgently.. pls advise.

    Hi leobox1,
    The latest PC suite version is 7.0.8.2. So if you are not using this, then uninstall the current PC suite and download the latest version.
    Next, go to http://europe.nokia.com/A4984199, to update both the Nokia Maps in your N85 to version 2 and also download the latest Nokia Maps Loader version 2.0.2
    Note: If your N85 is brand new, you must use your N85 GPS application at least once before you can use Nokia Map Loader.
    Hope all these helps........

  • Nokia Maps quits at the 40% mark

    Hi,
    I have a N79 and the Nokia Maps app doesn't work. 
    At first, it woudn't launch at all. After I downloaded the latest version of Nokia Maps from the nokia site, it would only show the splash screen, but it would quit again at the 40% mark. 
    I've also installed Google Maps, and that won't launch at all.
    Things I've already done:
    * updated firmware
    * installed latest nokia maps software
    * downloading maps using nokia map loader.
    * deleted CITIES folder on microSDCard (someone adviced me)
    On an other forum someone adviced me to format the microSDCard. Though it should work even withouth the card in it.
    Solved!

    Hi ivee
    Are you running v11.049 or  v20.175, check by keying in *#0000# on standby screen? If answer is the former then this is a known issue so don't waste your time here. Normally application quitting at this point is due to disparity between Maps version and downloaded maps, which you would seem to have covered already.

  • Nokia maps 3 month license for the N78? Gone?

    My N78 was supposed to come with a free 3 month nokia maps license, I am not sure where is the license is since there is nothing in the box, only a card that say that I have a 3 (DAY) trail.
    Nokia maps was working before, until I did a full reset for the phone (Not including the MMC) due to the problems it had.
    and now navigation is gone ... it asks about purchasing it.
    so how can I get the navigation back??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go through the puchase procedure up to the point where it asks you to choose a map pricing option, then press Options and select Update - this will connect to the Maps server and reinstate any valid licences that exist to the phone.
    If that does not work, contact Nokia cia the Conact Us link and ask them to check your licence.

  • View GPS tracks in Nokia Maps

    Is there a possibility to view GPS tracks in Nokia Maps (1.2), e.g. if the track is in gpx or kml format? I tried several converters but the lmx file that I get only gives me waymarks but no routes or tracks. That's ok for short tracks but problematic for long tracks with a lot of waymarks. Is there any other way to deal with this?

  • Nokia Maps need signal check option

    Yes, when I connect by 1º time ando no signal of GPS I must exit from it and go to Garmin than it has signal metter.
    Would be fine than Nokia Maps at his menu has a option to access to a signal meter.... or as is from the same Nokia, an option to access to same meter as Location > GPS data > Options > Satellite Status

    @leo3487
    Are you saying that your N97 Mini doesn't have Menu > Applications > Location > GPS data > Position > Options > Satellite Status or that algorithm utilised by Garmin Mobile Xt seems to produce satellite strength reading faster?

  • Nokia maps / sport tracker problems on 5800

    hi ive got nokia maps version 2.0 on my 5800 and just downloaded sport tracker but it doesnt show the map . i gather it only works on version 3.0 but i cant seem to update my maps or my map installer . anyone got any ideas cheers

    Unfortunately NokiaSportsTracker and NokiaMaps don't share the map-ressources (it's probably planned in future versions of NokiaSportsTracker).
    Therefore you have to establish an internet connection when you start NokiaSportsTracker and after that the application will load the maps from the web if you are on the map-page of a track.

  • E71 & Nokia Maps: Breadcrumbs Tracking in Walk Mod...

    I've been using Nokia Maps 2.0 - downloaded local maps - in my E71.
    Although I can set a destination and route, I've read its possible to just launch the app, and while walking it'll track your route - not preset - and when you reach whatever destination your after; you can SAVE this new route. I cannot get this to work and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    Can anyone suggest a solution?

  • Special characters issue with Nokia Maps on N95

    Hi there,
    when using Navigation in conjunction with Nokia Maps on my N95, all streets and towns which contain any special character in their name (for example: é, è, ü, ä, ö, etc…) do appear as unreadable garbage on the screen of the N95.
    I only noticed the problem after having purchased the 3 years license Navigation upgrade (EUR 99.99) and immediately notified Nokia. That was back in October. Since then I have called them at least 10 times and ultimately I have asked for a refund as no solution is still available.
    In all these calls with Nokia, the only reasonable argument I heard was that maybe (!!!) the new software update version 20.0.015 released back at the end of November could solve the issue. Unfortunately, for my phone (which is a branded one) the update is not yet available.
    Today, after calling them again, I was told that Nokia’s policies do not foresee refunds and therefore my request has been rejected. I was told to bring my phone to a Nokia Store and see if they can help me (I don’t see how). I was also told that maybe I would have to send-in the phone for repair.
    This is soooo frustrating that despite the 3 months of patience and all the money spent for the N95 (not quite cheap), the navigation upgrade and the phone calls to Nokia, I still have the same issue. I will probably end up filing a complaint with a monthly consumer’s magazine in the hope they will publish my story.
    After all, it may not even be Nokia’s fault but rather the guys who are responsible for the maps, but if Nokia accepts to have a commercial venture with a vendor, than they also accept liability for the joint product. And by turning down my legitimate request for refund, they have proven not to give a **bleep** about people like you and me.
    Forgive me for the long post - needed to release some of the frustration...

    I have been using an N95-8GB since Nov.'07. From my experience with this phone that has a built-in mass memory besides the phone memory. I had trouble retrieving some of the softwares I have installed. For eg. I have saved some themes in the mass memory & I could not find it when I want to delete it. There are some 3rd parties games software inside where I cannot even delete
    This is what I don't like about the phone. I have bought an N82/Black recently as it uses an external memory card.
    Coming back to Nokia maps. Personnaly, I don't think they are that good & I have problem downloading it into my phone from my PC after having downloaded it from Nokia.
    By the way the Nokia map is not even the latest map 2.0. Is still a 1.0
    I used Navfone map software & it works OK in the 8GB. You have to purchase it.
    I have used a couple of N-series phones in the past ie. N-90, N-70, N-71, N-73, N-80/Black, N95, N-95/8GB & now N-82.
    Common with all N-series phones. After you have disconnected when you are done with your call you have to wait for a while before the word "disconnected" disappears.
    The more features it has, the more problem you are gonna to encounter.
    Unless you want to download softwares into your phone & have a good camera thats where the N series phones come in.
    For normal usage, a 40 series phone will suffice.
