Nokia :: N95 - Ovi Maps Installed But Not Loading And Hangs The Entire Phone
Mar 17, 2010
Maps now won't work at all on my N95 phone. Previously, Nokia Maps had started taking *forever* to get a fix (actually probably wasn't ever going to), and I insanely tried to 'improve' the application to Ovi maps when looking for a solution. It installs fine (twice), but will not load past about 30%. Hangs the entire phone. I removed a cities folder. No good. I can't find maps as an application to uninstall.
Context: Nokia software works pathetically badly on my Vista computer. Ovi fails repeatedly (grays out), software updater loads but has never worked, some Nokia software is slowing booting and closing of the computer etc. And the phone usually has to install drivers each time it is plugged in, despite this happening many times before.
1. Can I see what country maps I have downloaded & saved on my N97 anywhere? 2. Whenever I went on the internet with my N95, I had a option how I wished to connect - my netgear router or Mobile web etc.
With N97, It chooses which one I have set on priority, but sometimes I dont want that one. Can I have it so that it asks me everytime I connect like N95?
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.
Looking at my Installed Applications on my 5800XM I realised that there are the following two entries:
Nokia Maps 9MB
Ovi Maps 7MB
Are they supposed to be both there? Shouldn't the Nokia Maps application have been overwritten when updated to Ovi Maps? Can I manually remove the Nokia Maps application to free these 9MB of C: memory?
I my dad recently bought the Nokia N8 after playing about with mine, I recieved the phone unlocked and set about setting it up for him, though i'm having foul problems with the maps! i've installed them, re-installed them, uninstalled and then reinstalled again and no luck, there wasn't even a Maps icon any time it was installed, but on my Nokia N8 when it was installed if went straight onto my home screen? how can I finally download these maps to this phone for my dad? he's starting to become really impatient because he needs to use the maps for his job
Well I have purchased n82 a month ago now my mobile is acting very slow, if I use nokia maps and exit from it, my phone hang after it I have to turn off then turn on the phone to access the options. Second problem is GPS satellite finding no connection to the satellites even for a second. I installed Garmin Mobile Xt 5.00.80 when I'm going to run the Garmin the logo shows then it turn back to menu nothing is happened.
I've been using my N86 for some time now. And I've encounted one issue that's really bugging me.When I start Maps, and the phone starts searching for satellites, the Maps program hangs for some reason. This happens quite offen. The rest of the phone works fine, but I can't use Maps. But if I restart the phone the program works fine.Sometime later when I try again, then the problem occurs again.Is there anyone else that has this problem, and does anyone know of a solution?The phone is currently running firmware 21.006 and Ovi Maps 3.03
I just bought an N97 (not mini). After about 20 or 30 seconds the Maps/GPS application hangs and freezes. I then cannot exit the application. I have to restart my phone to use the application and then again for a few seconds. I have hard and soft reseted my phone, removed the maps folder and the application and downloaded/installed them again. To add insult to injury the Nokia people in MALTA say they cannot help me out because my phone was bought from the far east and is a different version?
I am trying to update my Nokia Maps on an e6 running Belle using Nokia Suite and it just gets stuck on the dialogue "connectting to the map service". is this down at the moment?
Steps req to install the new free maps[3.04]into a n97mini please,i have tryed several times and get different problems every time i try and do i need to be connected to internet for them to work,first it crashed and now it wont show any roads and states i carnt start navigation from this location, i am in australia,are aussie maps supported in 3.04.
1. It takes forever to read the installed maps - even using USB cable. Why????
2. Once the installed maps are read from the phone, Ovi tells me that 'Updated maps are available'. Clicking on this message Ovi the pointer changes to a combined left-right arrow and stays there.
3. Now Ovi goes and reads the phone again, looking for installed maps - this time it takes LONGER, before I have the option to update my maps. This process of course takes forever too, but at least this is understandable - loading large files takes time.
4. I have the maps of the US; Canada; UK Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland installed. Which one(s) will be updated?
5. Also I am back from Europe, I no longer need the Irish maps. Why can't I selectively delete/de-install them? Why do I have to delete ALL maps and reload the US and Canada?
According to the user manual supplied with my Nokia X3 Ovi Maps is pre-installed, this also confirmed on Ovi Maps website. I can't find this application anywhere on my X3 and have sent 5 messages to Nokia asking why not but received no reply. How can I download and install this application.

I have trouble getting maps om my new 5230. I have expanded the memory with a Scandisk 8 GB card. I have downloaded the mapsinstaller and installed it on my phone using PC-suite.I got the blue worldmap menu on my phone, but when I tries to check my position I only get a red dot on a blank screen and my GPS position, no maps.After I have downloaded the mapinstaller, must I download maps from somewhere else? Should I use the phone or the PC(PC suite to download maps? Is the mapinstaller and the maploader two different downloads?Iv'e been to http://maps.nokia.com and done the download at least a dozen times.
My map is ALWAYS looking for GPS - and is never working. I have downloaded the maps and installed it - and it always seems to be looking. i have gone outside, and the gps signal picture is always on "white" how do I fix this? What is wrong? i have the latest fw - v31. E52 - Product code 0585050
I installed the Ovi Suite on my PC, connected my E71. That worked. Then downloaded Ovi Maps. It just places it on my desktop but doesn't do anything with it. So I decided to copy that file to my phone (mem card), and hit Install on the nokia_maps_3.03_10wk11_b04_s60_3.1_rom.Nocs.sis under App. Manager. It does lots of things that you would expect when something is installing, but then it ends. The application still says Not Installed, and there is no trace of the installed application anywhere else. When I then go into the Ovi Suite it doesn't tell or show anything remotely related to installing the app of cards, while I though a Maps Installer would kick in. Just tells me it's not installed and redirects me to this site for online surveys and online surveys.
I have the N97, to be honest i'm starting to regret buying it as it appears to be one prolem after another. Anyway this problem surrounds the new maps 3.03 with free voice navigation that has been released. I have installed it numerous times but it starts for 20 seconds then switches back to the menu screen. I have uninstalled maps, done a factory restore on the phone and reistalled the operating system all to no avail. Is there anything else that can be done. I am in Ireland.
I have just performed a firmware update and have downloaded and installed all other SW updates available, however although it has downloaded Ovi Maps 3.3 will not install.
OVI maps worked great on my nokia 5800 until last week I installed the latest version, via ovi store on my phone. Although there is still some functionality at "macro" level (I can see towns and major roads), as soon as i try to get down to streetlevel it all goes "blank".I tried to remove the installed software to start again, but clearly i mustn't be able to remove everything and files must be hidden somewhere as the application is still there.what can I do?
I installed some maps and Voices on my Nokia N97 mini using Ovi maps 3.03. The installed Voices can be shown within the app (Navigation setup,installed Voices are marked). But I cannot check if the maps I downloaded are installed properly! I tried to check with Noia Ovi Suite 2.1.1.1 and it says "No maps installed". Same problem with Nokia Maps loader 3.0.24.0. It's no matter if I install the maps using Map Loader or Ovi Suite -> same problem. Well, I installed the maps on External Memory Card - but this should not be the problem?!
I have just got a Nokia 5230 and when using the pre-installed Ovi Maps after about 30 seconds of the voice assisted directions I get the message not available in this country/region. It is the 3.01 version. I have tried to down load the 3.04 version and it says that it is installed.
I would appreciate your help to identify the maps I have installed in my Nokia N97 mini. Through the Nokia Map Loader was not possible. Can you guys please help me?
I have nokia E72, I downloaded a map using Nokia Suite while my phone was connected to the computer, installed the map but when I go to the Maps option in the phone, I don't know where to find that installed map and how to navigate it?
I'm Nokia 808 smartphone owner running latest officially available firmware but as to the Nokia Maps version i'm still using Maps v3.09 12wk09 b05 while lots of people around already have Maps v3.09 12 wk20 b01installed.The problem is to figure out how to update my current Maps to the latest version. Neither Nokia suite nor built-in device manager can see any update available, Nokia store still offers Maps v3.09 12wk09 b05 bundled into Nokia maps suite.
