Traffic information in Nokia Maps

<body><p>Is it possible to include this option in Nokia Maps in future? I am asking, because in PC version this option exists. So, doesn't it will be great to enjoy it in mobile version?

I have a Nokia E7 and I am using my N9 as my primary phone right now, but I can say, I miss the Navigation on the E7, it was simpler, faster, had more optoions and features, and the live traffic on the E7 is excellent, very good Navigation App.  I Love the facebook check in via Nokia Maps on my E7, where as with the N9 there is no functional check in at all unless via 3rd party apps (Fmobi) so yes, I would like to see the same Symbian Nokia Maps brought to the N9 as well as upcoming Windows PHone devices, it is a setp backwards in its current form.

  • Traffic information on Nokia Maps

    I just updated firmware and maps on my Nokia N95. When I started Maps there was a question if I wanted to buy Traffic Information for apprx 20e per year which I did. But now when I try to use the traffic info it just says that the Traffic Information is not supported by the "map data" i have. What does this mean, I have the latest maps.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This error comes when the Map data on your phone is older than the traffic info service.
    to fix this connect your phone to Map Loader on your PC via "PC Suite" mode (download it if you dont have it already - well worth it as it will remove all costs from getting Map Data) and select "Delete Maps from Storage". Once deleted download the map data for the region you have traffic and update again.
    You should then get traffic info
    Hope this helps

  • INADEQUATE information on NOKIA MAPS Download Site

    The information NOKIA gives about maps version in the Nokia Maps Download page of their web site is really poor: Nokia Maps 2.0 or 1.0, nothing more.
    Minimum details if they were more serious should be:
    1) Release date
    2) Release version
    and possibly:
    3) Tentative date for next update
    So people can decide if they need to update or not. As their site is now, it is not possible to know at a glance if maps are more recent then the one you already have.

    if your phone uses navteq go to there website and check the maps for yourself and see if there better than the ones you have.as for the rest you are correct

  • Traffic updates on Nikia maps not working

    I have a Lumia 920. I've been trying to use traffic updates with Nokia maps in the Los angeles area.
    It appears that every tiem you zoom out, traffic does not update. Anybody has similar issues?

  • Nokia Maps: No traffic even after successful updat...

    Hi, I’ve been using Nokia Maps for my 5800 and have been very impressed (it’s not perfect but given it’s free...). However, the only one bit that seems to *never* work is the traffic updates (I have tried several times). When using navigation, I choose “update traffic”, it says “updated successfully” but I see no traffic anywhere (on the map, on the traffic update screen...).
    Any ideas!? Traffic would be really useful!
    (I am UK based using 5800 and v3.03 of Nokia Maps...and there has definitely been traffic when I’ve checked!)

    Hi,
    I'm in the UK and was stuck in huge traffic jam on the M60 motorway yesterday and the ovi maps version 3.03 didn't show any traffic problems, despite having the phone report that it had successfully updated the traffic information.
    Any ideas what's going on?

  • Nokia Maps Upgrade and Traffic Alerts

    My Nokia maps has started unexpectedly trying to pursuade me to upgrade , when in fact it seems it really might mean I think pay and re-authenticate. I think the software runs really well on my E71 but will not pay another £70 to keep using it. I might if it was an well needed upgrade,but what I have is great.
    But what really irritates me is that a month or two back the system talked me into taking a years entitlement to traffic alerts which are somewhat dumb
    ( it doesn't take cogniscence of where you are being guided to other than in the list order, the alerts are out of date like all alerts in the UK radio/internet/road signs etc. and it doesn't even have the intelligence to realise that you are going north etc. when if gives you a pointless southbound alerts )
    but what really irkes is they took a years worth of money for alerts on a software package with a month or two's lifetime. I would be happy to continue using the current version and not pay for the upgrade. Any solutions out there to continue using the present version and not take the upgrade ? ora route to take to get a refund on the alerts ?

    Nokia do things the opposite way around to most sat-nav providers, instead of charging upfront for the software and updates, the software (which can be used for things other than sat-nav as radical says) is free and you buy a licence for sat-nav use to fund continuing development of the software.
    Your phone came with a free trial - all GPD-equipped Nokias now have 3, 6 or 12 month free trials in most markets (the period depends on the model - 12 months for high-end phones like the N96,6 for Navigator-branded models like the 6210 and 3 for most others). I changed to Nokia Maps from the Windows-Mobile software "Destinator" because updates were getting hard to find. Nokia does at least keep its software up to date, and it is fast becoming a great package.
    As for the traffic updates, these are dependent on the source information, and these services are still pretty much in their infancy because few people use them at present. The Nokia Maps application relays to you the information that it receives from third parties. As for your contention that it took a year's money for a short-life package, this is down to you. Why did you accept a year's subscription to traffic updates if you were not certain you would renew the navigation licence? It was your decision.

  • Nokia Maps Update Information

    Hi All,
    On the Nokia Maps FAQ it states the following regarding updates:
    1.11 How often is the map data in Nokia Maps updated?
    The map data will be updated twice a year. You can check for map updates in the Nokia Maps application through Options > Settings > Network > Options > Check for map Updates.
    On my E65 I don't appear to have this option to check for updates.
    Can someone let me know how to check which map version I have and how to find out when new maps are available.
    Cheers,
    co

    Hi chrowe
    Whilst Nokia Maps is running goto Options > About to check what version you have.
    Provided that a "network connection" is available I believe that the "Check for Map Updates only appears if application detects disparity between stored maps and those currently available, but I might be wrong on this.

  • Memory Full on using Nokia Maps v3.06

    Of late post the latest firmware update, Nokia Maps is annoying me very much with "Memory Full. Close some applications" error message when I keep driving only within about 5 minutes of initiating the navigation. When I intitate the application, I have about 48MB of free RAM on my N97 Mini which is very quickly consumed by maps. This is too irritating when you're driving and especially when you're in a new place where you need a lot of assistance from GPS. Loat hopes in Nokia and Symbian these days due to multiple problems... Have tried factory reset/full format etc., but no go. Any help?

    I agree with the fact that Nokia maps is very (too?) sensitive for RAM problems. Ater using Nokia maps to my satisfaction during my holiday in Australia (where we hired a campervan for 3 weeks), for the last month it was hardly possible to start the application (let alone to calculate a route) without getting memory problems. On the last trip where I used Nokia maps, I had to press OK after a low memory message from the phone for about 30 times WHILE driving to keep the navigation working. The message seemed to appear mostly on busy parts of the route like highway crossings.
    It took me a while to solve these problems and now Nokia maps seems to work OK again, at least on short trips. I did tried one longer trip (170 km) and it seemed to work OK too.
    What did I do?
    1. I uninstalled all apps that I don't really use / need to free up phone memory and RAM. This includes Nokia email, which takes a lot of phone memory. Instead I installed a 3rd party email app (Profimail) which can save alle messages on the memorycard AND download complete messages (no Nokia app on my C5-03 can do that!).
    2. I installed an app (PhoNetInfo) that can monitor RAM usage (and a lot of other things) to see which remaining apps use a lot of memory. You have to pay for the most recent version, but the version before that is free on their website.
    3. It turned out that Whatsapp doesn't only use a lot of phone memory (6 MB), but also a lot of RAM. I uninstalled it although I used it occasionally and I liked it.
    4. After this I had about 40MB of RAM free (and also 40 MB of phone memory) after starting my phone. (No apps loading on startup)
    5. With the "memory app" PhoNetInfo loaded, I started Nokia apps a few times, calculating a route,  to see what happened to my RAM. It seems to be about optimal in my situation to set the "Maximum memory used" slider to 20% (!). This way, my phone has about 10 MB of RAM free with Nokia maps running. You can find this slider in the Nokia Map options under Map.
    6. From that moment on, I always reset my phone before using Nokia maps. Simply to make sure that the maximum of memory will be free.
    So far, it doesn't seem to make much difference for the RAM usage whether you use "extra" options like assisted GPS or traffic information. I am definitely going to try the "app killer". This may work instead of resetting my phone every time before I start navigating.

  • Nokia Maps - is it now almost useless ?

    Over the recent years I've owned various Nokias. A N95, a N95 8gb, a N96 and now a 5800. Throughout all these Nokias I've used Nokia Maps. I felt a compulsion to try and see how competent their navigation software was. I also at the same time tried Navigon and TomTom, often because the Nokia Maps application could not be trusted. 
    I first noticed with the 5800 that postcode searches were now reduced to 4 characters ie PR3 4GH now returns PR3 4 - this inacuracy could be about 1/2 a mile from where you need to be. On all my other Nokias using Nokia Maps the postcode search searched on the full postcode.
    I wrote to Nokia and was first informed that the postcode search had always been truncated (it had not) and my second email received the reply that Nokia now only returned the first four characters of the postcode search.
    From my experience and by way of a comparison TomTom and Navigon both return full postcodes when searched. 
    Like a lot of others I have paid for drive and walk for the UK and also traffic subscription. Now as I have to enter the full details of where I want to go I feel that navigation is now rather pointless - you need to know exactly where you are going before entering the details into Nokia Maps - to be shown where to go.
    If Nokia now only do offer truncated postcode searches and have no plans to do differently I would strongly advise owners of Nokias with Nokia Maps to not purchase the drive and walk option.
    I am very dissapointed that Nokia have taken this approach to Nokia Maps, their maps are provided by Teleatlas and only recently they aquired GMBH (?) to strengthen their navigation arm. Also they are developing Nokia Maps 3 - why bother Nokia - it's an inacurate, unreliable piece of software. 
    I'm posting this also on the All About Symbian thread - I feel strongly about this - I want Nokia to take note and reverse their decision. 
    Come on Nokia - offer full postcode searches on Nokia Maps - you know it makes sense !
    Any thoughts anyone ?

    Hi chazzle
    You raise some interesting issues here although from a global perspective the UK is fairly unique in having such a detailed postcode (zipcode) database because it is so densely populated in areas. I might add that I also use Tomtom Navigator 6 with it's UK postcode zip file, although as you are well aware mapping is now unfortunately rather out of date. Since Nokia Maps v2.0 mapping has been provided by Navteq acquisition although TeleAtlas provided for Smart2go > Nokia Maps v1.0. You would be very disappointed by present UK coverage in Nokia Maps v3.0Beta in rural areas if you gave it a go.
    As Ford of Europe has chosen Navtek for provision of Bluetooth Mobile Navigation it will be interesting to see how this develops in this regard:
    http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Ford-innovates-with-hybrid-phone-in-dash-navigation-system_a1247.html
    Whilst I can accept that you feel aggrieved by this deficiency the direction now seems to be more of developing location based social network applications and as far as Nokia's growth in say China and India is concerned ownership of a car will for many remain out of reach or purpose.

  • Nokia Map and Drive+ Beta on Lumina 920 Feedback

    So I took my new phone down to MD/DC area in the last few days and here are a few things that I would like to post as my feedback on what would be nice to have, fixes, etc.  [I used both my new Lumia 920 and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as comparsion).
    1. Highest priority for me is that the routes from Here.net need to be able to sync down to the phone.  Nothing more is more important then this because when you have a custom route that you want to use (for example, to route around high traffic or potential high traffic areas).
    2. Extremely disappointed that a new road in MD (MD 200) was not used by the Drive+ and didn't even show up on the map on my Lumia 920 while it was used and did show up on Google map.  This road is a toll road and is over a year old already.  [And yes, I have enabled toll road in the navigation as well as selected 'faster route' as the routing to use under smart routing].  I cannot stressed how disappointed I am to not see Nokia Map have this route at all.
    3. Allow route changes on the Nokia Drive+ app.  As good as pre-planned trip and using Here.net, there are just tmes that it's much better to allow us to change the route based on latest condition.
    4. Never once did I see ANY traffic updates at all on both the Map and Drive+ Beta.  When it does shows on my wife's Google's Map/Navigation.
    5. I love that under Drive+, it tells you which lane to get into ahead of when you need to make a turn or merge onto another way. However, the flip side of that is that there's no way to know which road you're currently on.  This is probably more important for when you're in an area with a lot of highway/local way intersections.  Also, it would be great if it also will display the next major 'road' that you will be getting onto.
    So far I'm happy with some of the functionality and disappointed in some of Nokia Map and Drive+ and I have about a week left to decide to either stay with WP9 and Nokia or do I want to switch back to Android and Google Map.

  • N95 Nokia Maps 2.0 crashing

    Help !
    Last week I updated the firmware on my unbranded N95 to the latest 21.0.016 and udated Nokia Maps, then went a drive in the car to use the free trial and it worked perfectly.
    As I was going on holiday at the start of the week, I purchased the 30day useage and also the traffic info update.
    On Monday we set of on our holidays, we stopped at a service station and before leaving I put on Nokia Maps, within minutes it had pinpointed my location, but it kept asking to close my current connection and every time i did it the phone turned off!
    If i selected no, it would let me select my destination and then crash!
    I have lots of applications installed, so i removed anyone that used the GPS function (ie Picture locator) and it still does not work.
    The only items that remain live (that I know of) when the phone is on is Step Counter & M-Panel, i removed M-Panel and turned of Step Counter and it does not make any difference at all.
    I am annoyed that I have spent money and I cant use it, also the Traffice Info never worked anywhere I went, it kept saying (not availabe). Even when on M74 & M6
    I went on to Nokia FAQ when I came back from holidays and it is a known problem,
    I have re-installed Nokia Maps 2.0 and maps / voices but it still crashes.
    Has anyone experienced this?

    N95-1 with LATEST FIRMWARE
    & "Nokia_Maps_2.0_2204_3.1_u.sis"
    UPDATE:
    Now MAPS 2.0 loads perfectly connecting to WIFI LAN but as I zoom in closer as I get to street view it crashed out eveytime. and zooming into recent find the same.
    Tried GPS ASSISTED, crashes out
    Tried Just Network BAsed but crashes the same.
    And before I was able to do everything except LIVE GPS Voice Assisted guidance but it would PREVIEW the Journey and the Voice used to work, its now totally unusable.

  • 5530 & nokia maps

    hi all,
    i've tried asking this question in the S60 section with no response.
    does anyone know when nokia maps will be released for the 5530? or is there a way to get the 5800 version on the 5530 as they should be compatible.

    I installed Ovi Maps Beta once the 5530 had had its first major firmware update in October 2009 - and Ovi Maps worked perfectly (I assume that it's the 5800 version). I got a Bluetooth GPS module, paired it to my 5530 and it works perfectly! (Which is a bit annoying, as Nokia do seem to be pushing the 5230 as a "superior" handset to the 5530, as it has a A-GPS built into it.)
    I'm really pleased to hear that Ovi Maps turn-by-turn voice guidance is free, so I promptly updated my map via Map Updater.
    Unfortunately, I guess that the 5800 version of Ovi Maps doesn't have full compatibility with the 5530: I paired my GPS module, but on attempting to navigate to a location, the application informs me that I need to go online to purchase the Ovi Maps navigation license!
    I do hope that Nokia will realise that there are plenty of their handsets out there that are capable of handling Ovi Maps and pairing with a GPS module - After all, Nokia could make an absolute killing with the basic to mid range handsets that are capable(?) of voice guidance, e.g. the 6303.

  • Nokia Map vs GPS Data

    New owner of the 6220 classic. Can anyone tell me something about the relation between the Nokia Maps applicaton and the app called GPS Data?
    Sven

    Nokia Maps is a navigation software which allows you to plot you position on a map and also allows you to navigate to a known destination on the map.
    GPS Data on the other hand gives you raw information such as your location in coordinate form (latitude/longitude), speed etc., and has no navigation function. It will also point you towards your destination but purely in vector form.

  • Nokia Maps Icon Missing?

    Good day everyone.
    i have just bought this new Nokia Asha 303 phone and i thought the software installed in the phone is incomplete because i cant seem to find the shortcut for nokia maps. I installed the nokia suite in my pc and check  for software updates and it is up to date. I already tried factory reset, but nothing, still the same. Is it possible to restore the missing icon? thanks for any help.
    sorry for bad english

    Right after having my new phone I started exploring its possibilities testing applications from Ovi store. At some point I got some problems with an application so I decided it would be a good idea to try a reset... I first try with an app settings reset to defaults (from the s40 Configuration menu, not the Restoring Factory Defaults menu)... right after that I realized I didn't have Nokia Maps icon in any of the lists of installed applications, nor I could found any loader in both file units, phone and memory card, for it... I was not 100% sure the icon vanished after settings reset, but I supposed it, so I thought something went definitely wrong and I decided to try reset to factory defaults as I just started testing the phone so I hadn't any information saved there to lose... what I could not expect it's that a factory reset will not yield the software at the same very state as what I received short time before. In addition to not getting back the Nokia Maps icon, I noticed another difference in the system, I have an Introduction icon in the list of default applications, that triggers a video playback showing the phone basics... now when I push that button, the playback starts but only for the audio, and instead of the video I show a black screen with a NOKIA logo in the center, the same very screen I see when boot up the phone. I've seen https://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/nokia-maps-suite/bugreport/46316/nokia-map-icon-missing-after-inst... this problem is not happening only on s40 OS phones, but at least on Symbian^3 phones they had a stand alone installer to install back the app http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-08 Something like this seems what s40 OS phone users like me are needing.
