Nokia :: How To Restore Maps After Unwanted Ovi Update
Feb 28, 2010
I couldn't find anything on the discussion board but I cannot imagine I am the only one here After the latest update on my navigator 6710 maps has been replaced with ovi maps and I cannot for the life of me figure out how ovi works.I want my nokia maps back, can anybody help me ?
if i already saved my previous road direction in drive mode , but i cannot delete it , no delete function found, it is annoying...how u guys to remove it ? for landmark ,i know i can delete inside location icon..but this road direction no...really Nokia not aware of this ?
The maps in my Nokia X6 16gb are gone after i ran an update in which it says will delete the old maps and voices to replace newer ones. Upon completion of the update, when i checked maps that are available in my device,Instead of new updated maps, there is only 1 map left which is Hong Kong and Macau, and i don't live in either one of it. Tried downloading the maps through the Ovi Suite, always got the message "The connection to the Ovi Maps server timed out"
I've bought a new 5800 Xpress music recently and have three questions with Ovi maps: 1. I don't see any satellite (photo) maps when selecting the satellite mode in the display options; instead, the map is just filled with a pattern of alternating dark green and light green linear areas. How do I enable real satellite data, as shown in the attached picture? 2. The update speed of the map when navigating on foot or by car seems very slow. Is there some way to increase / improve this? 3. The phone doesn't seem to recognize really well if I hold it vertically or horizontally. Can I improve that behavior, or switch between manually?
first, will maps work in 2700 classic at all ? second, will it work offline without using gprs ? third, can i update my maps s/w since .sis file dont work in 2700 ?
I have a problem with my E52. It came with loaded with Ovi map 3.03 and was working perfectly well. A few weeks back it started showing an available update of ver.3.04 (both on the phone and Ovi suite. But regardless of whatever I tried, it failed - coming up with error messages like " update error" and "unknown error" etc. But all along the maps were working perfectly well. I was happy to just leave it there, but my cousin suggested to install the previous version of the map i.e ver. 3.01 and then try to update to 3.04. This ver. 3.01 installed without any problem, but I am still not able to update to latest version and to make things worse, I am stuck with a version which has to paid for. I have in fact bought a month's subscription to make the maps work as I am now stuck with out it. Have anyone else faced this problem or something similar? How do I totally get rid of the map software installed and installed the latest one fresh?
Is it possible? I downloaded Ovi Suite, and ran it to install the maps onto my system. The Nokia Maps (v2 from the About Page) works fine, but I want to update to v3.xx. Is this possible? Ovi Suite doesn't seem to want to install v3 (nor can I find the download file to it). The firmware I am running is 12.043 (the latest, over-the-air that is available for my phone)
I recently updated my maps using Ovi Maps upadater. Now I get my location in latitude & longitude, but only a white screen - no maps. When installing I get this message, "This version of maps is not compatible with old map data stored on your device. Delete old map data?" If you don't delete old map data it won't install, and if you do you get the blank screen.
For as long as I can remember, Maps would crash on me whenever I'd go to Settings|Navigation. I read somewhere that reinstalling the application might fix this, so I uninstalled Maps - which apparently did not really uninstall it but only reverted it to version 2.0 - and then used Nokia Maps Updater to update it back to 3.0.
Of course, this being Nokia, nothing works as it should do, and so NMU tells me that everything's ok: "There are no new updates for your phone!". Every once in a while when I try NMU again, it does find an update, called Map Data Version 0.1.23.112, a very small download that does nothing to update Maps to 3.0.
I knew that one way of "resetting" Maps is to delete the "Cities" folder and the "QF" file. I did that and tried NMU again - still no update available. The next thing I did was a phone reset - no joy.
I thought I'd "reset" it a bit more if I go to Nokia Maps Loader and I manually delete all the stored maps. I did that, and NML had this to say: "Connection to the storage medium has been interrupted. Attach your storage medium and retry.", even though I was using the same sturdy USB cable connection I've always used with no hassles. After several retries, it probably deleted all the stored maps data, although this apparently did not help.
I then tried running the update file suggested in this post - that didn't do anything by way of allowing Maps to be updated by NMU either.
I then accustomed myself to the idea of having to go back to using Maps 2.0, but - unsurprisingly - this doesn't work either: whenever I open Maps, I receive the message "Cannot open application, install latest version from nokia.com/maps". Of course, if you go to that address you are told to use Nokia Maps Updater, and so we come full circle. Thank you, Nokia, for the quality time that we have to spend trying to compensate the lack of quality in your software.
I updated ovi maps and after update i can't get gps signal. On new ovi maps i can't find where i can search place by adress and anywhays i dont like that new one is there any whay i can get old one?
Nokia 5230 V12.0.089.I have the latest maps installed on Drive "E", after deleting the old ones, and have used them, but when I connect to Maploader I get the following message:
"You have connected at least one phone (USB Drive) without a valid Maps drive. Either you are using an old Maps version - then you must update your Maps application or reconnect your phone in Mass Storage mode - or you have never started your Maps application - then you have to start the Maps application once and restart the Map Loader."I have a valid maps drive and the maps have been used.Having updated the maps, how do I update my "Maps application"
I have a Nokia N97 with Map Version 0.1.24.114 installed (clicking About in Maps also shows v3.03 so I am not sure which one is the one i should refer to). I get a text notification from Nokia saying I have a map update so I check software update and indeed version 3.04(165) is there but I cannot update> Please advise. My navigation and turn-by-turn guidance (as well as weather, lonely planet and events) all work but I want to have the latest maps version for accuracy.
I just got my X6 yesterday.I tried installing maps 3.03 on my X6, after the installation, a software update named 'ovi maps - with free navigations' appeared... I tried starting the update many times, but it kept on giving out the 'update failture' message... what happened? how can I fix this update failure and continue using my maps?
I have a mini. I downloaded and installed the Maps Beta 3.04, seems to work allright. Today I started Maps updater and it told me to update to version 3.03. I aborted the update to check here for advice. Is there a newer version than the Beta or isn´t it compatible with the Maps updater?
I have problem like i wrote in topic - I'm using Paid Nokia ''Maps'' Gps program and i want to update maps because i have a lot of new roads around my home but I don't know how to do it.I tried to use Nokia Software Updater but it says that my phone version is OK.Could you help me?
Attempted to update to 3.03 last week, recieved the message update failed, didn't have time to sort it then. I have since updated to firmware v2.1, done a hard reset and reformatted my device. Attempting an over the air update get the message "update failed"! Only app I have listed as installed is the ovi store client.

[quote]In a call with Michael Halbherr, Nokia's VP of Social Location, we were told that the new Ovi Maps would arrive on the flagship N97 very shortly. It's currently a "software logistics issue" related to the maturity of the N97 device. N900 owners shouldn't hold their breath, though, as Nokia is focusing on bringing its free navigation service to the next generation of Maemo devices. That's not to say that the N900 won't get it eventually, only that it's not currently on the roadmap.[/quote]So will there be no OVI-Maps-Update be available for maemo5 ?
I have just reinstalled the firmware on my N95 ( via Ovi Suite, product code 0534851 - V. 35.0.002 ). Next, i wanted to update my Maps platform, because this firmware still has the classic Nokia Maps 2.0, and the Ovi Map Loader says i need to update to Ovi Maps 3.0 in order to download the maps. So, I installed the Nokia Maps Updater 1.0.12 (the latest, i suppose. i've just downloaded from the nokia website), I exited the Ovi Suite, started the Maps Updater, and i get this error: "Cannot get enough information about the phone [3].Unspecified error [1]." Tried it on a friend's E51 and same error.
I have updated the firmware on my 5800 to version 31.0.101.I have tried to update Maps from version 3.01 to 3.03. Each time I try, the update fails.The on-air update fails without any detailed messages. The update via USB cable fails with an error message "unknown error code 5".Does anyone know what is wrong and how to resolve this problem?
I've been using Nokia Maps for my 5800 and have been very impressed (its not perfect but given its 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?
I have a problem with my N82 Series Nokia.I wanted to update my maps via Ovi Software. I do this and it worked fine.Afterwards I tried to check the new maps but only a green area appeared. I accessed the sd card in the phone and only get the message "card full" (or something).Now I turned off the cellphone and put the sd card into my pc. But Windows just ask to format the card because it is not formatted.This is really very "unfunny" all data on the card are lost? I just wanted to update the maps. On a other thread I read that only a few maps (maybe not whole europe) can stored on the cards. That ok, but the Ovi software has to take care about this not the user. The sw has to check the free space and what you want to download.If windows says, that I have to format the card than I have a other chance or is there no chance to get the card with the stored data working?
When I turn my N86 RM-485 v21.006 on I get a message stating there is an important update,, update now? When I select Yes, I get o the update screen and it shows the Ovi Maps with free navigation update. I select download and then update. It downloads fine, but the install fails. I've turned the phone off several times with no success.
unfortunately nokia didn`t add any city to map for iran.we are very sad and we wait for next update at new year.nokia owners needs to navigation for all cities in iran,improve your maps for iran in the next update.
Previously, I could use the flashlight with keypad locked by pressing on the spacebar.I am not sure why but with recent update I have lost that facility. Is there a specific setting for this behaviour. With the recent update of Firmware,I have lost the ovi maps fucntionality as well
