Upgrading to OVI Maps 3

Just got an N97 (on '3' in the UK). It has Maps 2.0, but when I run SW Update it says there are no updates available.  Why?
How do I get Maps 3.0 as a download.  Is it is available as a DL anyway other than via SW Update?  I want to hard reset my phone and reinstall just the apps I need, and Maps 3 will be one of these.
Thanks

Don't bother with maps 3 yet, it is very buggy. The worst bug is that it deletes all of your maps often, forcing you to redownload them.
If you do want to go ahead anyway you can install it using the ovi maps installer.

 Is that bug only on the N97, not had it happen to me on my 5800...yet?

  • Favorites problem after upgrading to ovi maps

    I just upgraded my 5800 to ovi maps using the Nokia Maps updater. Everything seems to work except for one significant problem. Although all my old favorites are still there, when I go to the favorites menu, there is no text in the menu items, or the text is the same black color as the packground. I can see little icons, and i can go to my places if i remember that is the 2nd item on the menu and there I can see a number of items equal to my favorites, with little icons and also no text. I have to blindly select and discard till I get the one I was lloking for. Once selected though, they appear on the map just fine. Please help.

    Do you have many pictures?
    Have your tried to reinstall the phone software using SUS to check if the problem remains?

  • [INFO TIPS] How to survive with Ovi Maps 3.0 insta...

    Quick info tips. I wanna made this post earlier but I was on few days trip so didn't have a chance... but it's good coz I was tested GPS in real touristic environment.
    I'm from Europe so I don't know how all links posted below will be works for people outside Europe. 
    My hardware: E63 with latest firmware + external GPS module LD-4W
    Everything what we do here, we do with phone connected to the PC via USB cable in PC Suite mode and with fully battery charged.
    If you have Maps 2.0, everything works well for you and you payed for any of licences - better stay with that version and don't touch Ovi Maps 3.0. Waste of time and nerves. 
    1. Please make phone data backup in PC Suite. Please make data backup of your memory card.
    2. Check if you have firmware upgrade for your phone (click on some icon in PC Suite). But if you have cracked Symbian and you using cracked software better stay away from firmware upgrade. There's new cracking method for newest firmwares, ask Google. I don't use it, I'm clean. If you have new firmware - update the phone.
    3. Download MapLoader - http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/down​load-maps/map-loader Do fresh install or update old MapLoader
    4. Bluetooth MUST BE turn in phone. Why? Ask Nokia. -_- Just kidding but unfortunately it's not funny. Without Bluetooth Ovi Maps 3.0 installed in next step (6.) is crazy as hell. Application is completly unusable, skipping, switching... one big hell on the screen. I don't know how it looks like in phones with build in GPS module.   
    5. Download Ovi Maps 3.0 - http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/down​load-maps and update with this installer old Maps 2.0 in the phone.
    6. Run Ovi Maps 3.0 and allow to download via Internet connection in your phone (wifi, gsm, 3g) some portion of initial data - 300 or 400kB - something like that, up to 1MB maximum then disconnect from Internet. It's needed to save some file (I don't remember name) and make structure of catalogues on memory card.
    7. Leave Ovi Maps 3.0 and run MapLoader. This application is one big pain in **bleep**. Sometimes doesn't see your phone, sometimes doesn't recognize correctly your memory card size (when you are finished downloading your map/s data that stupid soft can say to you "you don't have" or something like that)... horrible! If something goes wrong - try restart your PC and phone then connect again via USB cable - still in PC Suite mode.
    8. When luckily you have maps on your phone, try to pair your phone with your GPS module via Bluetooth or turn on build in module in other models (I think it works like that?).
    9. When you will be look out for licence for walk navigation... you cannot find it. You can see only your region name (in my case it was Europe) and you have an option to buy... licenses for drivers. ROTFL!  Licence for walk navigation is "hidden option". You must go here - http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/p​roduct-support/maps-support/how-to/how-to--use-map​... - it's mini FAQ how to obtain it.
    What I see, there's NO MORE free trial licenses in Maps v3.0 You must pay from day one. I buyed that licence for walk navigation for 10,12E (10 euro 12 euro cents) and it's not time restricted - looks like lifetime, ofc for the phone that you use (I think). Other licenses (for drivers) are time restricted (30 days and up as I remember).
    Everything works fine for me. I was over 220km away from my hometown in awesome town Wrocław and Ovi Maps 3.0 helps me A LOT with navigation and searching for monuments in this town.
    Marcin
    NOKIA IN USE: N8

    Ad. 1) "...Please make data backup of your memory card."
    Because maybe you must be format memory card for proper maps installation (instead upgrade from Ovi Maps 3.0 installation level old installed maps from v2.0).

  • Problems with OVI Maps 3.4 for 5800 XpressMusic

    I downloaded Ovi Maps 3.4 on my 5800 and now every time I try to start using maps, the screen goes dim and the phone restarts itself. What I have to do to solve this problem?
    I was using the version 3.3 and the navigation was working perfect.

    Hi c_dzeprailidis
    When you upgrade to OVI Maps v3.04 it adds an additional positioning method "Wi-Fi/Network which can cause issues for some users, so try disabling it. Go to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning methods.

  • NO STREETS OR ROADS ON OVI MAPS IN THE UK ON 5800

    i've no idea how to fix this. changed all the settings to how was recommended on posts already here but still nothing. its like the east coast of england has disappeared from derby eastwards, partners also has a 5800 but nothing wrong with hers.even zooming in on cities that are there is no good cos the streets disappear.  will a hard reset fix it\? i've already updated firmware and reinstalled ovi maps.  thanks

    Try deleting E:\CITIES + .qf file from memory card, re-run OVI Maps application on device one more time to define folder structure required by OVI Suite > Maps and try again.
    Bear in mind with a 5800XM that there is the option to upgrade to OVI Maps v3.06 pre-release at Nokia Beta Labs (sign in with Nokia ID & password) which enables you to download maps directly to device using WLAN obviating need for PC entirely.

  • Ovi Maps 3.03 + E-72 compass problem

    Hi all, 
    Yesterday I installed the new free Ovi Maps and managed to download some maps and voice guidance files onto it as well. Yay for the free new gadget. But somehow my compass doesn't seem to work anymore. Or rather, it stays white and I don't see the map tilt. With the previous version I would just move the phone along all axis for a few seconds and it would turn from white to yellow to green (as described in the manual). Here, nothing happens, no matter how long or how often I turn and twist the thing.
    Is there a different way to do it in the new Ovi Maps? Am I doing something wrong? Is it a bug? If so, am I the only one with it?
    Solved!

     I believe when you're in guided-navigation mode (drive/walk), then the map is automatically oriented towards where you're heading.  I wasn't able to try the voice-guided navigation back in Ovi Maps 3.01 (still have a few days free license pre-included with my E72)

  • 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.

  • What is the latest Ovi maps version for E72?

    According to maps application I have:
    c3.04 10wk17 bo7 MW OpenGl LM MN
    Map Version 0.1.25.114
    is that the newest for this phone?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    i hope this is not off topic, but i have a similar problem with map versions, but slightly different circumstances.
    i have firmware 051.018, with ovi maps v3.04 10wk32 b03 and map version 0.1.24.114
    i want to upgrade the firmware to the newer v071.004 with ovi map v3.04_10wk32_b04 (or so you say). 
    my question is this. does firmware v071.004 come with ovi map v3.04_10wk32_b0, and does it require maps version 0.1.25?
    if so it'll really suck to upgrade the firmware for me and i probably won't do it because i downloaded offline maps for the whole world (like 8 gigs) from a mirror site and have been happily prancing about the globe on my e72 for sometime now. my e72 has almost become more of a gps map device than a phone. honestly i would rather buy another nokia with updated maps than give up my precious world map on the old firmware.
    should i upgrade or not?
    so, coincidentally, i am also very interested in finding out the newest version of ovi maps to be included in the 070 firmware.
    thank you and i hope this wasn't too much of a curveball.

  • N8 Ovi Maps Lags Actual Location

    I thought I read about this problem somewhere but cannot remember where.  I tried searching but did not really find an answer.
    When I use Ovi Maps on my N8, either just as a map while driving or to navigate, it appears the icon representing my current location is always a little behind my actual position.  For instance, when my car is in the middle of an intersection Ovi Maps shows that position only after I am a few car lengths past the intersection.  This happens at all speeds.  I have it zoomed in a fair amount so that I can read all the street names.  This makes it hard to navigate where there are roads really close together since you cannot easily tell where to turn.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jay

    The latest version from the Ovi store did not correct the issue.  I also uninstalled Nokia Bubbles (along with downgrading Qt framework) and still have the problem.  I just installed the latest Ovi Maps from Beta Labs and also upgraded my maps, still have the problem.
    As mentioned I have the zoom level set to where the red triangle is about twice the size of main roads (not sure how to read the gauge - might be 230 yrds or so).  I have the map auto-rotating around my position.  In non-navigating driving (i.e., no destination set) the red triangle is centered on a side road when I am completely thru the intersection, sometimes by a car length.  This may not sound like a problem and most times it is easy to figure out, but where I live there are side streets very close to one another and at times it is difficult to know which one to turn.  Also, the rotating/scrolling of the map does not appear to be very smooth or quick, but I am not sure if that is how it is supposed to work.  Also not sure if there is some delay when the map moves (i.e., only every half-second it is updated, etc.).
    Anyhow, I am trying to figure out if it is a problem with the N8 GPS, other N8 hardware, etc.
    Thanks

    How to install and setup GPS in nokia E-71.
    Firstly Install Nokia Ovi Suite (advance version of PC Suite) in your respected computer.
    http://www.nokia.co.in/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-ovi-suite
    After installation of Nokia Ovi Suite go to following link
    http://www.nokia.co.in/explore-services/ovi-maps/downloads?intc=ncomexpserv-fw-ilc-lft-con-na-ncomex...
    Now install the the second link file into your phone, i.e., "nokia_maps_3.03_10wk11_b04_s60_3.1_rom.Nocs.sis".
    After successful installation connect your phone with data cable in PC Suite (DON'T run PC suite application in your system) mode and open Nokia Ovi Suite application in your system.
    Now in Nokia Ovi Suite application click on View-Go to-Maps (make sure your system is connected to Internet and your mobile phone key pad doesn't get locked, if keypad autolock period is on switch it off for that moment and your phone is fully charged, now in maps select Asia in that India and download that India Map (103 MB) into your phone.
    Please Note that do not disconnect your phone from data cable else maps will not get downloaded and will not to be
    transferred to your phone.
    After successful installation of maps into your phone download "Voice Guidance Languages", which ever is preferred by you, if you really want to enjoy it. Like- English(UK)-with street names or in Hindi, Tamil, Urdu.
    Now you are almost done, just take your phone into your hand,
    Go to Maps then select Options-then Settings
    Internet-Connection-Offline ( don't worry your GPS will work fine as data bearer is Nokia which is free of charge, so just relax).
    Navigation-Drive Guidance-Select the desired Voice
    Walk Guidance-Select the desired Voice or you can set it to Beeps and Vibrations (if downloaded).
    Home Location- define you home location by searching in maps, this will make easier to drive back to home by simply selecting Drive Home option while using navigation.
    Now go to option Map-Categories-select the categories you want to be shown on the map.
    Its DONE, now search for any desired location press the selection button and then select Drive to or Walk to option and you will be connected to GPS.
    Please Note as GPS needs free environment so it may not work in home and generally it takes 10-15 minutes to connect so please be patient.
    Worked perfectly for me
    By the way, why doesn't the maps application work if I doenload all the maps instead of only India map??

    As a worst case scenario you may need to backup essential data, then reset device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself) which will revert to version of OVI Maps pre-installed in device firmware and start upgrading again.

  • Ovi map, start - close - start again, crash!! plea...

    I have an N97mini, Software version V 12.2.110, custom version 12.2.110.232.01
    My ovi map version is v3.04 10wk32 b03 MW, map version 0.1.25.114
    I perform following operation sequence:
    start ovi map, everything seems work. Exit it by touch the "X" at the bottom right corner.
    start ovi map again, everything freezes, wherever I touch including "?" and setting, i receive no response whatsoever.
    I have downloaded only California map onto the device. Please help!

    Hi there,
    Following is what I have done:
    1. hard reset the phone as you suggested
    2. config wifi on my phone so that map can be downloaded later
    3. formated E: (I don't have a memory card, massive memory is always used)
    4. config the positioning to use only integrated gps as you said
    5. install ovi map the exactly the file you suggested. this is done by first copy the installation file to a directory on E: and then use Application -> office -> file manager to run it
    6. After ovi map is installed, download CA map via wifi. Then I go back to ovi map menu and start the map, it asks whether I want map via wifi, via ovi online or .... I forgot, 3 options, weird, since I downloaded the map already.
    7. then I click "X", the problem still there. ovi map freeze sometime, it can not be started for the second time when it's not freezed at the first.
    I wonder is there a way to really clean up everything in the device and start from scratch? I did a device firmware upgrade via ovi suite after I got the phone. I don't know whether that matters.  I have received following email from Nokia customer care with suggestions, shall I try it?

  • Ovi Map cannot run on N95

    I just upgraded the phone software and installed Ovi maps on my N95. After I completed, I cannot launch Ovi map at all. I was prompted to reinstall it by the system. I've done so but it doesn't help at all. Can anyone help me out here? 

    Hi,
    this was an issue in one of the pretty old versions of Access Connection. And since then this was fixed.
    In case you see this kind of situation in the current/latest version of Access Connection, then this might be due to following fact:
    You don't have the latest versions of following applications:
    - Power Management driver
    - Power Manager
    - System interface driver
    - Hotkey utility
    - Wifi driver
    In case you do, then I assume that Access Connection (AC) was installed BEFORE the above apps were installed.
    So in this case I would advice to uninstall Access Connection, clear the regitry and %programfiles% from all the entries, that belong to AC. the reboot the machine, make sure, that you have the .net 2.0, 2.0 SP1 , 3.0 and 3.5 version also installed and registered. And once all this is met, which is BTW the prereq for AC , install AC and reboot the machine.
    I think, this should help you out, as it worked by multiple other situations.
    If not, then plase let me know some more details, as I would like to reproduce this situation.
    Cheers

  • Cannot update c5 ovi maps to version 3.4

    I can see the update on the C5. It shows 8102 kB. When I select it and choose start update (translated from finnish UI) the update runs, but the result is a failed update. The phone gives me an option to view the update history, where I can see an entry of failed updated, but no further info. There's 33 MB of free internal memory and the firmware version was earlier updated to 032.010. What could I try next?

    Nokia does not care. Trying to upgrade after those "conversations" blog posts advertising 3.04 ended up killing Maps entirely on the C5.
    My detailed post on MAY 24: /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Maps-3-04-upgrade-breaks-Maps-on-C5-00/m-p/691170
    Nokia did not care.
    A month later, Nokia posted a "sticky" in the maps forum about the Ovi Maps calamity, completely ignoring the C5 problem. My post on June 30: /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Re-Ovi-Maps-Installation-Troubleshooting/m-p/714834
    Now, after upgrading to the latest firmware, I tried to install again. But now it says I'm out of memory on the C5. You know what?
    Nokia does not care.

  • Nokia X6-00 16GB - Ovi Maps 3.06 won't install

    Currently I'm using Ovia Maps 3.04 but I have an update to 3.06 for this model.
    When I try to install this update via Nokia Ovi Suite, the upgrade goes bad with message inducating the update service has an error.
    When I manually download the update and double click this in Windows Explorer, the update gets loaded and starts the installation with some preview information. After some time the message 'file not found' appears and then the message 'Instalation successful' apears. When I start Ovi Maps, the version number is still at 3.04
    When I copy the installation-file to the Installations folder on the device itself and open this via the menu, the same happens.
    After these install I tried restarting the device and recheck for any changes but the 3.04 version still is used.
    Uninstalling the current version won't help either. The 3.04 version still resides. The funny this thing is when I try to re-install 3.06 the device replies to overwrite the current version (3.06) with the new version (3.06). This was previously 3.06 over 3.04. It looks like it's installed but the Ovi Maps programs shows 3.04 instead? Got me kinda goofed...
    Other updates like Ovi Music 11.4 and Facebook do install successfully. So the device or firmware isn't broken or something. Re-installed 32.0.002 firmware and tries the above again to no avail.
    Some information
    Model: Nokia X6-00 16GB
    Firmware 32.0.002 (the lastest for this model)
    Nokia Ovi Suite 3.1.0.91
    Full battery when trying the above
    Connected to pc with provided USB cable
    PC -> Windows XP profiessional SP3 with all the updates installed (system and hardware)
    What can I do to fix this so I can use version 3.06 from Ovi Maps? Do I need to revert back to Factory settings? (I have a full backup ready to use)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Your post is incorrect, because the problem is that the program is installing but not being read, rather it is a system file issue.
    As I said, It's happened to me before. I have 3 different versions of 3.06 on my PC and none worked. Only after a hard reset did it work. It happens when you 3.06 gets uninstalled improperly, some file used for recognition remains, and interferes with the system reading the app. No matter how many times you'd try to install, system file associations have already been corrupted. This is akin to installation errors in Windows where reinstalling wont make it work or clean everything out because there are registry fragments left.
