Nokia :: N97 - Software Update For Ovi Maps With Free Navigation
Jan 21, 2010
Maps 3.03 for the N97 is going to be available from the 28th Jan 2010 via the IAD (also known as Software Update). Users of the N97 are advised to update their firmware after release, which will then make the Ovi Maps 3.03 application available for download. Although I work for Nokia, my opinions are my own!

I was really disapointed that E90 wasn't on supported models list. When this free feature will be available also for Nokia e90 communicator? Or will it be ever?
Nokia OVI Maps - Free Navigation Mobile navigation for everyone, the Ovi Maps takes you where you want to be and shows you what you want see, with navigable maps for over 70 countries worldwide. All this with only one click. And it's all free. - Free Drive navigation - Free Walk navigation - Free maps and map updates - Free Events guides - Free Lonely Planet guides - Free Michelin guides You thought Garmin and TomTom were in trouble when Google announced its free Navigation service? Wait until investors hear Nokia's news.Reuters is reporting that Nokia will offer free navigation on its smartphones. However, instead of just the US (the current Google limitation sans hacking), Nokia will be demonstrating its reach by offering free turn-by-turn directions in 74 countries and 46 languages - a move that should cover 20 million smartphones globally with Ovi Maps available in over 180 countries Update: The original San Francisco Chronicle report has been pulled but Google cache caught a bit more saying that Nokia's navigation service is "capable of operating completely offline" unlike Google Navigation which requires data connectivity. Update 2: Nokia just made the download link live. Hey, where's the N97 and N900. Update 3: And it's official. Starting today, Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation is free across the globe. Drivers receive turn-by-turn voice guidance including lane assistance, traffic information (in 10 countries including the US), and safety camera and speed warnings while pedestrians will be guided on shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones in over 100 cities across the globe. It all works offline too, which should extend battery life and keep that navigation humming even while puttering about in data dead zones without racking up international roaming charges (take that, Google). From March 2010, all new Nokia GPS enabled smartphones will come installed with the new Ovi Maps application and pre-loaded with local country map data and walk and drive navigation with access to location-aware Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides at no extra cost. Additional premium guides like a weather service and events / movies are also included. Just 10 devices from Nokia's massive catalog are available today a list that includes the N97 Mini, 5800 XpressMusic, 5800 navigation edition, E52, E55, E72, 5230, 6710 navigator, 6730 classic and X6.

I am happy to annouce that Ovi Maps 3.03 is now available for the N97. To get Free Navigation on your device please take the following steps: 1) Check that you have the latest N97 FW: 20.0.019. Learn how to check your current version and update at www.nokia.com/softwareupdate?n97 2)Once you have this firmware, you can go to Software Update on your device and the new version will appear for download. You should also be prompted as you open the Maps application on your device (online connection required).
Why is the nokia free navigation not available on the n96. i understand its not available on the n97 due to the FW having bugs but that is being resolved, Does anyone no when it will be available for the n96 I dont pretend to know everything like some people on these boards i am just trying to help. Its not all about the kudos.
Now I know this has been a frustration for many users. Nokia ovi maps 3.0.3 is not widely compatible with a lot of phones with exceptions being the newest models. Free navigation is not available on the older version of maps, so either free licenses need to be available on the older maps or the new version must become compatible. I know nokia have said they are working on this, but is there any timescale? I could do with having navigation on my phone a.s.a.p really.
I just downloaded the newest Maps version from here: (http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download?intc=ncomsup...), installed it on my phone (Nokia N95 8GB, up to date firmware, up to date Ovi Suite and PC Suite). And when i selected the drive to option the software asked me to renew the license O.o. Isn't navigation supposed to be free? How can I take care of this problem?
I have an N85 and got the latest Ovi Maps for my phone. On the ovi website it is advertising free voice guided navigation for life, but my application keeps asking me to purchase a license.I am confused , do I have the wrong version? What do I need to do to take advantage of the free navigation as advertised?
I'm trying to install the free navigation update on my phone and it keeps failing. I am running software version 21.2.045 but can't seem to get the update to install. I had free navigation but my license has not expired so I would like to install the free update. I tried downloading it to my PC to see if I could install it that way vs the phone but I cannot find a PC download anywhere.
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.
Today I got an update for my E6. I installed it without any problems. But when I tried to start maps it doesn't start. On the screen there was only a message: maps - function not supported.Is it a bug or a feature? Are Nokia updates tested? I mean by the company - not by users (customers)
Hour ago, I had E7 running firmware 25.007. All features were running fine including Maps application. Under Menu - Apps - Program updates, I found new Nokia Maps application (Nokia Kartat). Selected and let it update.After successfull installation, my Maps application does not launch at all. If selecting Maps (Kartat in my Finnish localised phone) or Drive (Aja), the phone just popups an error 'Maps: Device does not support function' (Kartat: Laite ei tue toimintoa). Damn, how can I get my Maps app back?
Nokia suite came up with an update today for the maps, installed, phone restarted and when I open Maps message "Feature not supported" seems like people who have updated are facing problem. /t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Nokia-N8-Software-Update-Nokia-Maps-with-enhanced/td-p/1205909Trying to install via beta labs didn't help, when I check application manager I couldn't find maps application anywhere.

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?
after update of nokia maps to version 3.6 in my nokia c6-01 it stopped working. I am using anna and updated the maps which was provided in the software update and after update it says feature not supported.
I lost all my maps due to a phone update. I am trying to download maps and found out that I can not download any maps in Asia. I was able to download maps from America, Africa and Europe but not for Asia. Nokia are you listening? It says unable to connect to server. Is Asia on a different server?
Why does nokia store keep telling me a maps 2.0 update?even after down loading and it saying download complete, have fun Nokia ovi store still shows the same update available.I HAVE restarted the Maps app.I've already asked this but is v3.09 12wk09 b05 map version 0.2.45.110 still the latest version available, if so how can I stop the update notification on Nokia store?
tried to update my v3.06 11wk23 b05, version 0.2.45.109 to the "new" v3.08 but ovi suite doesn't recognise it.
i have tried multiple ways of getting it but i am not succeeding.
(1) ovi suite (with phone connected) would only do a country update (new zealand)
(2) ovi store via mobile service tells me i have v.308 but a physical check as per above clearly states i ony have v3.06.
(3) software update on the N8 doesn't recognise a maps update.
(4) i have tried the "updates" in the maps application itself but comes up with "the most recent map is already installed on your phone. no updates available. your map version: 00.02.45.109 release date: 30.11.2011"
how do i get the latest version of Nokia Maps v3.08 for N8 if all sources have failed?
I have a N85 Navi which I bought less than a year ago. I updated this week the maps and the application (latest version)and added one voice for the navigation. After this update when I open the Maps and select Settings and Navigation (to change i.e. voice), Maps closes automatically without any error messages. I can open all the other settings sub-menus. Any ideas why this is happening? Do I have the to re-install the application, maps and voices?
i have maps 3.04v? i used Nokia Suite to transfer maps of Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia and Serbia. Nokia Suite also transferred Europe base map. But i think i can only view base map of Europe. I cant view detiled maps of cityies.
