Nokia :: E71 Destination Address From Contacts Database?

May 14, 2010

I am running Maps 3.03 on an E71. While this version provides free turn-by-turn navigation, which is great, I find that providing the destination address is much less convenient than it was in the previous, non-free version. Before, you'd enter a city from a menu and having done that, you got a menu of valid streets within that city and so on. Now you just get a single text-input box into which you have to type the address (and deal with the system's invariably wrong attempts to complete things).

This step backward provides an additional incentive to want to be able to choose the destination address by indicating an entry in your contacts database. Navigate me to THIS restaurant, or the home address of THIS person, etc. There appears to be no way to do this, unless I'm missing something. And, inexplicably, there also appears to be no way to copy-paste an address from the contacts app to the Maps app. I've attempted to check the documentation, which in Nokia E71 tradition, is useless.

If I'm missing something here, I'd appreciate being enlightened by someone. If I'm right about this, this is another example of why Nokia's market share in the US is miniscule and why their share worldwide is dropping. Smartphones cram a lot of capability into a very small package, which places a huge premium on user-interface design. This is a major factor, perhaps THE major factor, in the iPhone's success, despite the fact that it's not so great for making calls (unlike Nokia phones, which excel in that department).

Nokia :: E55 How To Set Exact Address Of My Destination?

Jun 21, 2010

I am trying ti use the GPS in my E55. I have a problem. I start the application, MAPS and then select CAR. I'd like to write the exact address where I need to go, but this seems to be impossible. The only thing I am allowed to write is the city (or, in the best cases, the train station, the cinema, etc). But I'd like to go to the house of my girl friend! Any idea?

Nokia :: N900 GPS - Possible To Enter A Destination Address And Have Phone Voice Guide Walking?

Feb 17, 2010

Could someone tell me exactly what is the current status of GPS on the N900? As I understand you can see where you are but there is no voice guidance. Is it possible to enter a destination address and have the phone guide you walking? Out of interest will the N900 ever be able to support video conferencing or is there a hardware problem? Thanks, Ian.

Nokia :: Why POI Database So Limited?

Jan 26, 2010

I have tested Magellan and Tom-tom but always Garmin is my personal favorite. I have Garmin Ique 3600, Nuvi (350, 200, 780) and XT, which is also on N85. So now I am testing Nokia Maps.First of all, do we call Nokia maps or Ovi maps? Second I tried to search Staples, Office depot, Home depot and found NONE, and when searched Macy'S found many (all searches off-line). So is Nokia maps designed for Women. On the other hand Garmin XT bit slower search but found all.So my question is can we download PIO databases, not one or two PIO but tons of them from somewhere. Also is there a way so that Guidance will say 200 FEET instead of 365 YARDS.

Nokia Lumia :: Drive Shuts Down When Setting Destination

Dec 31, 2012

I have Nokia Lumia 900 running Windows Mobile 7.5. The Nokia Drive running on it is 3.1.0.3206. It had been working great for me till 10 days back. Suddenly whenever I open the application and tap "Set destination", the app shuts down. The Nokia Drive then needs to be restarted.

It seems to have something to do with the destinations. The same behavior is also witnessed when I try to "Clear history" using Settings >> Clear history.In appears that the app on my cell phone does not like number of destinations stored, or a specific destination.

Nokia Navigation :: Download Entire Ovi Maps Database?

Aug 16, 2010

Just because I want to, I'd like to be able to download the entire Ovi maps database - every detail of every corner of the Earth, not just all the cities/countries available in Nokia Software Updater, which I've already gotten. I figure that if all the roadways of every country in the world only occupy about 7-8GB on my 32GB drive, adding the terrain of the remaining unpaved/uninhabited regions of the world shouldn't add that much more.Or, at least less than I have available room on my drive.

Nokia :: Email Address From Address Book On E72 And Removing Old Emails

Mar 1, 2010

I like my E72 but I have two problems that really annoy me.

1. In the past when ever I would write a new email I would get list of suggested email addresses in the "To" field. For example, if I would was to write the letter S I would get the email address of the people in my address book whose name starts with an S (sam, Sofia etc). for some reason this feature stopped working on my phone and I can't find how to make it work again. if I want to send an email I need to manually write the email address in the "To" field. The auto suggestion feature works perfectly on my wife's phone (an E72 with the same firmware - 22.007) but on my phone it won't suggest email addresses from my contacts.

2. Another problem is that my Gmail that is synced to the phone, through the Nokia Messenger server is locked on "hide emails older than 2 weeks". Now, I have hundreds of emails stored on my phone that dates to February 1st - the day I got the Phone.

Is there a way to delete these emails automatically, without deleting them on the Gmail account itself? It makes my phone really when going through the emails.

BB Pearl :: Address/Contacts DB Corrupt?

May 20, 2011

I just received a replacement handset. In order to repopulate my PIMs, I downloaded and installed Funambol. It connected and synced my calendar, tasks and notes, but the contacts have become corrupted. I can see them, but I can't access them or remove them.
I tried to remove them with the desktop manager. After a soft reboot, I could remove them, or so I thought, but even if I did a soft restart at this point, when I tried to restore from the backup I made before I got the replacement, I just get an error message saying that the restore failed. When I look, I find the contacts have all reappeared, but are still unusable. I even tried uninstalling Funambol and soft resetting, but the results were the same.

So it look like they're there somewhere, because it's grabbing their information, but how do I put them all in the address book?
