Why is Nokia Maps costing me money when I log on.

Hi,
I am having some trouble understanding a few things.
I am in Australia and i just bought a new N85 outright and i am using it with my Optus pre-paid sim card. This phone came with Nokia Maps already loaded.
Now Nokia Maps is one reason why I bough this phone. I understand that using the turn by turn navigation will involve paying a fee and downloading maps online will involve internet charges.
But i am using nokia maps in the offline mode and the only thing i do is ask for my position and search for other streets i am looking for.
Now the problem I am having is that even though i am in offline mode and it still says that i have used 0.0Kb, every time I select Nokia Maps and them log off again and i check my balance it has used somewhere between $1.00 and $4.00 of my credit. even when I dont do anything.
I am not sure where I am going wrong or what I am eing charged for, as i thought in the offline mode not connected to the internet it would be free to just use GPS and search for streets around.
Please help at I have used $40.00 in the last few days logging on and off trying to change settings to see if that fixes the problem.
thanks a lot
Ryan

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did you already check if using A-GPS (section "Assisted GPS (A-GPS)" pages 52ff of your user guide) is yet activated on your device?
This may cause packet data traffic.

Does it cost any money when you imessage outside the United States?

Does it cost any money when you imessage outside the United States?

It shouldn't if it is truely an iMessage and you are using wi-fi, such as your home LAN.
There is a difference in cellular SMS text messages and iMessages. The other person must have an iOS device and you must both have an internet connection. The conversation will appear in blue.

Why do my folders on my desktop when i log off then log back in move position all the time?

When i log off or turn off my laptop and then log back in my folders or files are in different positions then where i had placed them on my desktop previously

I mentioned in my earlier post.
And if that doesn't work try using the Desktop Icon Manager (DIM) which has been around since OS9 days to get those pesky desktop icons to behave.
You arrange your desktop icons the way you want them. Tell DIM to "memorize" that arrangement. Make DIM a login item so that when you log in it will move the icons to the memorized positions at login.
You can change the arrangment at any time and tell DIM to memorize a new arrangment.

Why can't I view my photos when I log into my iCloud account?

Why can't I see my photos on iCloud when I have Photo stream activated on my IPhone and computer

Because photo stream is a sync service, it is not a storage service where you can post gallaries and view photos directly in icloud.com.
It's only used for syncing photos between devices and computers.

Nokia Maps on E71 again - does not load a detailed...

Hello All!
I've looked through previous discussions on Nokia Maps @ E71, however did not find a solution for my problem.
Noka Maps runs on my E71, however, it does not load a detailed maps. Sattelite images work perfectly. My area is well covered with the maps as my N95 loads maps perfectly.
I messed around with Nokia Maps Loader. I even deleted \\CITIES\diskcash.
Nokia Maps restors the directory when I raun it, fixes GPS, downloads about 850kb of data...and shows my city of about 3M population as a crossroads of two highways (in case I use the Maps Loader it even does not try to download and shows the same).
In the meantime, I made Garmin XT working fine on my E71. But I still would like to use Nokia Maps as a back-up when travelling. Thank you for help!!!
PS I have E71-1, 3 weeks old, with the latest firware. I even did not have to re-flash as it came updated.
PPS I wish I was a bit stronger to have in the other pocket N95 just for a back-up

From my experience from Navteq maps if your country is in the list non-routable maps you may get nothing nevertheless Navteq states you will get map but it cannot be used for navigation.
Navteq says ask Nokia, Nokia says ask Navteq.

N96 GPS & Nokia Maps

Can someone please tell me how to use the N96 built-in GPS and also the Nokia Maps?? Also when using the GPS, would I use my sim-card credit??

Well first of all u will have to find out whether the country u live in is available in nokia maps. If its available u have to install the map to the phone. If u use the phones in-built GPS system u will not b charged.

Nokia Maps 3.0 crash bug with E75 firmware 201.12....

Phone: E75-1 / Type RM-412
Firmware: 201.12.01
Nokia Maps 3.0
I haven't seen this reported anywhere... but then again maybe I don't master the advanced search so well, apologies if this is a duplicate.
Nokia Maps crashes my phone when launching it.
The phone just switches itself off after the app opens (and shows me a map with a red dot on it) .
I haven't done anything to the phone apart from upgrading the firmware in the past few weeks, and after fiddling with the options, I discovered that the crash is due to an option that is active by default under Positioningmethods: Network based.
Disabling it makes everything go back to normal.
I don't remember this option from the previous firmware version at all? Is there an update to Nokia Maps that I have missed? (the beta labs version isn't available for this device)

Hi mika123
There have always been four available options in Positioning Method: Bluetooth GPS, Assisted GPS, Integrated GPS and Network GPS of which the latter three are ticked by default.
Surprised that Network GPS causes issues as is just using triangulation from cell towers but in case of some network providers packets of data do have to be sent and received.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

WHY DONT I USE NOKIA MAPS???

I am puzzled about Nokia Maps, like why I cant and dont use it!? why am I considering buying Route 66 for £59? and even a TomTom Go One GB? handheld unit??? £100
hang on a minute!! I have a perfectly good N95-1?? so why dont I use Nokia Maps?? its paid for it should work!! well it requires a GSM network connection as well as GPS, which caines all your credit in no time thats with the maps downloaded! what was the point of selling a GPS enabled reciever phone with all the fancy Maps program but I cant use it like any other normal APP!!!???
How much does it cost to run? does it deppend on network?
or ammount of data used, why does it try to download the mao when its already downloaded from Nokia?
Its mad, I can get a satelite to lock in,and even try to plan routes , but it constantly crashes out, its useless , its a shame!! I paid all that money and I cant use the GPS at all anyone else feel the same??

UPDATE:
Re-installed the same firmware, managed to install MAPS 2.02
and it all now works until you need it ! i'll explain later.
SIMPLE MISATKES!:
Make sure you have the memeory card inserted before the install of MAPS 2.02!
Make sure your phones Profile is on GENERAL after restoring your backup after upgrading your firmware. Now MAPS 2.02 should load.
after all this I had to reinstal Nokia Internet Radio Youtube, Fring, AND I installed GOOGLE MOBILE MAPS with a 800kb download over GPRS and it's amazing! need to see a thread dedicated to Google Mobile Maps!
MAPS 2.02 First off Im very impressed with the new version of MAPS and all its features until you NEED certain things!
NO MORE ATMS or CASHMACHINES show up, NO MORE WIFI POINTS!!
how do I fix this?? is this the EXTRAS WE HAVE TO PAY FOR?
Now I'm in town and I'm dettermind to actualy get a fix and use this thing in town under stress of busy traffic and a busy crowd test! I got a FIX with the Red Icon showing and I looked up a shop and hit go and up pops another box saying The Licence blah blah whats going on?? it always tries to charge me at the most inconvienient time ever!
I have no idea if I have to subscribe or get billed off my network?
I have NEVER been able to figure out MAPS :/ like how is it charged? how you subscribe to it? would I need web n walk or surf for a £1 all day on O2 would this help? Its useless otherwise i'm totally perplexed with it. ROute 66 is £59 you install it , it works. or £99 TomTOm 1 Solid State, slim portable, big touch screen, so if after all this setting up time and hassle with MAPS 2 how much will it cost me?

Nokia Maps next update, when?

I'm Nokia Maps user from Finland, and I want know, when Nokia launch new version on this program? Reason is, this map/navigation program is full error. I'm use this program only one week, and I was found over ten route/navigation errors. My last navigation software works very well, but this is terrible!
Can Nokia made some web side, if customer want leave some deveploment idea? Example, I need usually more navigation point on my route. Now I can add only start and end-point. Usuallu, when I drive long trip, I want find some petrol station or something near my route. Now I must stop navigation and try find some petrol station and I can do it, but I don't know, witch direction this station is and how near this is on my route. Second, why navigation program not release connection on my HF-system after turn (or something else indication)? Now, when I use navigation, my car radio is all time muted amd I can't listen music, it's pooring.

It says in the corner of my itunes account that i still have money from my itunes gift card that i redeemed, but when i buy a song my billing info pops up. Why can't I use the money?

It says in the corner of my itunes account that i still have money from my itunes card that i redeemed, but when i try to buy a song, the billing info. pops up. Why can't i use the money on my card?

It is simply asking you to verify your account info. Select None for the CC.
It will still pay with your gift card balance.

Even though I entered a credit card. Will it not charge anything if I only install the free apps? Is there like a monthly charge or just a charge when I want to buy apps that cost actual money?

Why did Nokia dumb down Nokia Maps with each new v...

I recently did a YouTube video comparing Nokia Maps to the GPS apps available on the iPhone AND Nokia Maps on Nokia N86 8MP.
The interesting part is that how many more functions does N86's old Nokia Maps have over the new Nokia Maps on the N8.
Lots of functionality has been lost, while all the other GPS apps got new functionality, Nokia Maps is instead dropping functionality left and right.
Why Nokia?
Here's the video(s) BTW, if you are familiar with Nokia Maps, you might want to start watching from the middle of Part 3.

Thanks! And I really hope Nokia will take note and integrate those old and useful features back into Nokia Maps.

Oh, for sure I agree noone is pushing me, but the problem is... there's not a new-technology minimalist phone out there, as far as I know.
I want a C2-01.5 like I have now, but with a faster processor and more memory. Same size, a bigger (less edge margin) screen'd be nice, but whatever. A bigger battery and perhaps an even skinnier/smaller form factor. I want the OS to be super configurable and have options on top of options on top of options (and if it let me disable/hide the things I don't use - to reduce the clutter of the menus, I'd be in frickin' heaven!). Finally, I want them to put WiFi into this simple small stick. And the simplicity of the basic Nokia keyboard layout (with slightly raised keys {great job on the C2-01.5} that I can feel with my fingers) would be awesome too. If anyone can think of something like this described dream-phone, please do let me know. I'll build you a small temple and pray at it weekly. As far as it goes with this experiment, I'm sending the N301 back. And I had such high hopes!
Funny and sad at the same time.
Thanks, guys!

P.S. Nokia, if you wanted to hire me for product design, I'm all ears. Finland's a nice country. Lotsa salmon and saunas and pretty blonde girls.
