What's necessary to have Ovi Maps recognize curren...

I've set my Nokia E7-00 to not use WLAN/GPRS info but just to just use GPS (Settings > Program Settings > Position Info > Methods):
+ Supported GPS
+ Integrated GPS
- Bluetooth GPS
- WLAN/Network
- Net based
In Maps > Settings > General I've set the following settings:
Connect: Offline
Net target: Internet
However, my E7-00 doesn't seem to be able ot determine my current position.
I'm wondering: What's necessary to have Maps recognize my position without requiring anything else than GPS?
Any help is appreciated.

@Rhubarber
Just to clarify if you enable "Assisted GPS" this requires a network access point to reach the "positional server" = supl.nokia.com to speed up location acquisition. I tend to leave all enabled upon my E7-00 running Symbian Anna as it is the WiFi/Network GPS positional method which gives a rapid positional fix whilst indoors as location of router previously determined (note I am not using data plan so no help from Assisted GPS feature).
If reliant solely upon Integrated GPS you may need to go outside away from tall buidings and wait 20 - 30 minutes to establish position the first time.
Might also be an idea to install this application from Nokia Store to keep track of satellites:http://store.ovi.com/content/208256

  • Ovi Maps does not launch anymore on my 5800 Xpress...

    I have the latest ovi maps for my nokia 5800 (3.06, and also the latest firmware of the 5800), and everything was working fine until yesterday when I click the Map icon, the application is not launching... I did not install anything new, it just does not want to launch the application (no error message, just like i did not press the icon). I had the same issue couple of weeks ago when suddenly the ovi maps stopped working (i had to reset my phone and reinstall everything), and today it's the same all over again...
    Do you have any idea how to fix this? (i have around 40Mo left in my phone memory, so there should not be any memory problem i guess....)
    Thanks!

    @XanderVDB
    Presumably you have Ovi Maps v3.06 (688) installed http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/ ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk23_b05_s60_5...
    Don't know whether you restored from a backup after resetting device and have re-introduced a problem.
    Perhaps try removing E:\Cities + .qf fle from 5800 and store safely on PC desktop, as empty folder structure re-created when you next open Ovi Maps application.

  • Ovi Maps crashes continuously on N8

    Phone:
    PR1.2
    Custom version 014.002.269.03
    Product code 059C8T6
    Type RM-596
    Ovi Maps 3.06_11wk10_b01_tb9.2_com
    Map version 0.2.42.122
    I have a newly bought N8. Each time I start Ovi Maps it crashes after around 0.5-5 minutes. No other applications are launched in parallel. I have tried to play switching on and off different positioning methods - it does not help. All the same, it crashes with any combination I have tried. Even if I switch off all the methods except built-in GPS, it crashes. I have restored the factory settings and reinstalled the OS. Before installing some applications, I have tried to start Ovi Maps - it crashes all the same.
    It crashes in a strange way. It first freezes. Then in around 10 seconds the screen goes dark, then fully white and then the phone restarts. But it does not restart from the very beginning, as it does when you switch the phone off and switch it again (it shakes, then it asks SIM pin, then lock code). Instead, after Ovi Maps crash and the white screen, it shows the white screen with "nokia" on it (no pin codes are asked), then comes the desktop screen, no applications are running at this point yet, it does not react on the touch screen, no connection to the cell network. Then it starts to revive, connects to the GSM network, starts to react on the toch screen, on the button, refreshes the desktop, etc. It runs further as usual.
    The questions are:
    1) Is it a hardware or software problem?
    2) If it is a known software problem, is a remedy going to be included in the coming updates of the OS and or Ovi Maps?
    3) Are there some workarounds to have Ovi Maps in some form/regime running stable on my phone? Ovi Maps was really a decisive argument to buy the phone and now it turns out to be absolutely not usable...
    4) Would downgrading of Ovi Maps help? If yes, how can I get the version 3.04 of Ovi Maps for N8? Or could it be that some other distribution of Ovi Maps 3.06 is more stable? How could I get it?

    aspergerguy, thanks a lot for your comments!
    “I notice that you are using Ovi Maps 3.06_11wk10_b01_tb9.2_com which is not pre-installed in PR1.2 (v3.06 11wk07 b01) so you must have updated at some point after resetting device. Did you try setting up pre-installed version following prompts before updating this application?”
    I cannot say for sure, it was a month ago. Probably, I did. As experiment, I would try v3.06 11wk07 b01, if I knew, where I could get it. Ovi Shop offers only the version I have installed on my phone.
    Anyway, I believe, it will not help. I have tried other applications (e.g., Sport Tracker), where positioning is in use, they crash the same way as Ovi Maps. The crashes are not related specifically to Ovi Maps. I believe, it is a system issue with positioning.
    “If you go to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning server > Positioning server use - is it set to Auto. in home network?”
     It was “always ask”, but I have changed it to “auto”. It does not help, the phone crashes as before.
    “Did you try OVI Maps application whilst in USA (was it on TMO) before going to Germany?”
    Yes, I did. It was with US at&t sim card and some German one. No difference, it was crashing the same way. It was also crashing without any sim card.
    “There is obviously an issue with the Assisted GPS positioning method which unfortunately since OVI Maps v3.06 wants to make a lot more connections ( no you can't revert to v3.04 once vPR1.2 installed).”
    There might be an issue with Assisted GPS, but it is far from being the only one. The telephone crashes if I have only the internal GPS switched on, the Assisted GPS and the network methods are switched off. It crashes all the same.
    “As an experiment go to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning server > Server settings - is just supl.nokia.com listed or anything else as well? - if nothing else go to Options > New server - add supl.google.com (if another network server @ 2 remove it). Whilst pinging this server as experiment is no issue there is no authorisation for continual use by Nokia device(s).”
    This part I did not quite understand. I have included the second server in the settings, but how can I ping from the telephone? Should I install a ping application for that?
    With the second server the telephone crashes as before. No changes.
    “With regard to wired headset included you really do need to press it in hard until it "clicks".”
    Great, thanks! Now it is working! One has to push it really hard…

  • N97 Ovi Maps problem

    HI,
    i tryed to update my maps definition by checking on Ovi Suite on my PC via USB.
    Some updated maps were available, but during the update, i've lost the connection with USB.
    From now, there is no "cities" folder on E: and Ovi Suite can't upload new maps.
    So i have Ovi maps working but without any Maps !
    It says my memory card is full, but there is 28Go available !
    Any idea to recover it ?
    thanks for your help

    During the update process, the old maps are deleted first before the new maps are downloaded. I have never interrupted the process but it is possible the usb connection was interrupted just as all the files were deleted. This could explain why the Cities folder and qf files are missing.
    Now to get Ovi Suite to see the mass storage for map data purposes, you first need to run Maps at least once. This should recreate the Cities folder and qf file. Once this is done, Ovi Suite should be able to see it and allow you to download map data.

  • OVI maps. What's the point ???

    Just noticed my E63 came with OVI maps and I know the E63 doesn't have AGPS.. so what's the point???

    The point is that it can be used as an interactive map book, that also lets you look up things like points of interest.
    Comes in very useful when visiting large cities for the first time, even without GPS.
    You have to also remember that some people have been using google maps on phones for years for this purpose.  The advantage of OVI maps is that you can actually have the maps on your device so no data connection is needed.

  • What free ovi maps? E51 Discrimination?

    I've been using Nokia MAPS 2 with a navigation license. I recently updated it to v3 (ovi maps) along with all my maps using the Nokia PC suite. Now my license has expired. I've tried to update to the new free version 3 as advertised by Nokia but E51 isn't listed and I'm directed to the old Nokia maps version 2.0 by the ovi site. Nokia PC Suite gives an error when I try to use the updater. What is going on? Why can't I upgrade. Do I have to buy a new license for my old installed version with less features than the free version? Thanks for any input.

    You can install the free version, you just have to pay for a license to use it
    Oh, also, chances are they will release a free version after you pay for a license, so go ahead, buya license. They are non-refundable, and Nokia can't tell you who get's free maps as doing so would be "a bad business strategy".
    The Nokia we all know and love.

  • OVI Maps doesn't recognize my E71's memory card

    Hi All,
    I previously had Nokia Maps 2.0 with the maps of my province stored offline on my memory card and everything was fine. Today, I upgraded to Nokia Maps 3.0 and it installed fine on my E71. Now, I'm in Ovi Suite 2.0 -> Maps and with it recognizing my E71 connected via PC Suite mode, it tells me that I need to insert a memory card even though there is one there. No matter what I do I can't get it to download the Maps I want.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the help everyone.
    I deleted everything off the phone, reformatted, re-ran Nokia Maps on the phone, launched Ovi Suite, spent 20 minutes waiting for it to connect (a series of internal errors) and now I have the maps on my phone
    Thanks a lot!
    I like Nokia Maps 3.0 quite a bit better than 2.0, I just wish there were less steps needed to search like how it was in 2.0 (just type and hit OK, rather than Options -> Search -> Fill in the various fields) .

    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:

  • N6110 Navigation don't recognize loaded ovi maps

    After reformatting my memory card, I had many troubles. Firstly the restore from pc suite didn't work. I tried to start the card program. I stopped after 50% with an error. After many hours and searching the intranet I could start the card program. It allocated the cities directory on the memory card. After that I could load maps from OVI. The problem is the the navigator software only shows the world card as active. I have 2 more route66 cards license but not active. On route 66 those cards are no more available (product not found).
    HOw can I get the Ovi maps recognized in the navigator?
    Thanks for your help. I am despaired. The Nokia navigator was the best software I ever have seen.

    @N6110
    Welcome to the forum!
    Presumably as you can no longer utilise Route66 to work on your 6110 Navigator you have decided to install Nokia_Maps_2.0_4503_3.1.sis from http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-6110-...
    Ironically although S60 3rd FP1 device it can not run OVI Maps v3.01
    Have you got a spare formatted microSD you can insert and then open Nokia Maps application on device to re-initialise application and define folder structure?
    In the days when there was a separate Maploader application (no longer works) I seem to remember device was connected in mass storage mode for Nokia Maps, but of course has to be connected in PC Suite mode for OVI Suite to recognise it.

  • What is the latest Ovi maps version for E72?

    According to maps application I have:

    Map Version 0.1.25.114
    is that the newest for this phone?

    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.
