I have been using TOM TOM navigator for years but have just got an X6 with OVI maps and am trying to convert! Everything seems straightforward but Is there a way to view the details of the planned route in a text format? I have clicked drive and selected a destination from home, it is all set up to take me there but how do I see the route it wants to take me? Is this possible and if so how? I have sort of worked out that you can flip through a map of the route but can you get a turn by turn summary of the route?
I would like to report a bug with regards to saving/making a route public.I go into Planning, then Routing, and I have several routes saved from previous workouts. As per below, I click on the "Public Route" check box, and then Save. I just get booted to a generic screen/map with the "Create New Route" button.Regardless of whether I click on save or not, if I reselect the route on the left, then it the "Public Route" check box is cleared again.In addition on the screenshot below, why does it say "2525 Hemlock St, Vancouver, BC V6H, Canada | 0.06 km". This route was clearly 25k. Strange/weird thing also is if i click on "Edit Route", (Hey anthing's worth a try....) and then Save, it actually turns my route (ie destroys my route) into .06 km. This is exactly what happened to the bottom route on the left list; it used to be 25k until I 'saved' it. Oh well, at least I can go into my recent workouts and resave the route and try again!
So I recently got a light set for my everyday use, it's the Nokia 101 with 6.65FW installed...
Now I'm confused as I cannot find the "SUMMARY AFTER CALL" option anywhere on the phone ! For those who don't know what it is, it shows how long was the call made, in other words the call's duration after the call has been ended.
Does anyone else see the option on their sets? Also I cannot see lifetimer when I dial *#92702689#
Where can I get a description of the face of my 8320? I see things on the face screen that I do not know what they are. I have printed out the huge owners guide but nowhere in it is a picture of the face with a legend.
purchased a Bold 9700 on Vodafone and have found 2 little things that are bugging me because I can't find out what one of them is, or why the other happens!
1) I have a strange icon that I can't find a description of appearing next to 2 messages. It looked like a little phone symbol. It appears next to 2 of my conversations, in my SMS/MMS inbox and on he Blackberry Messenger inbox (as the conversations are via the PIN service). I have other conversations in my Blackberry Messenger inbox that appear with a little bubble with the blackberry logo inside, and messages in my SMS/MMS inbox that appear with the normal white speech bubble at the side. However, no matter what I do, these 2 conversations remain with the little Phone symbol next to them.....
Message -------------------------- <----------- That tiny gap will highlight, and when I click it, it opens into the chat Contact screen for one of my contacts?! If I send another message, it then Message appears like normal again with the rest of the messages!
Carrier: Vodafone Model & OS: Bold 9700, v5.0.0.545 (5.1.0.140)
I was going through apps and somehow got on the one that describes each button as you use it. i now cannot swipe to the other app screens or the other home screens and the phone talks all of the time and i have to triple tap on things to make them work....
When navigating you can press "options" to get a menu and then "diff. route". Could someone please explain what this "diff. route" is supposed to do? So far I have only noticed that it drops me from navigation mode to map mode.I am using OM 3.03 with a device without touch screen if that makes any difference.
Just want to mention that, allthough it is free (which is great), the route calculation in Ovi Maps is pretty bad in the Netherlands. It often leads me to a destination in a totally inefficient way.I've compared those routes with solutions like Sygic and Google Maps and they DO direct me much more efficiently so there is a lot to improve there I guess.(Not to mention those times when Ovi Maps tells me to turn around on the speedway when I drive a little bit too the right or left.
Was trying the Ovi maps on the 5800 today in the car, had full strength GPS with no network support. I set it to navigate me home but it kept coming up with the message 'No Route Data'. I have the full UK map installed & it has worked fine all the other times I have tried it out. Still new to Ovi so not to sure what to try.All latest firmware updates installed & latest maps (not beta)
Routing still needs improvement. It is taking me through wrong routes again. I thought this version will be like the routes of navteq.com but nothing changed. Still calculating wrong routes. Only navteq.com gives good routes, otherwise navigating using Nokia Maps is useless, Nokia is behind all its competitors of GPS devices. this is why I have Tomtom.

how to save a route? When using Nokia Maps, I can save a location. But say I navigate from Distance A -> B, not via the Map's original shown route and want to save this route, how do I do it? There is route folder but I do not see any setting or option to save it.
How to re-route navigation easily (should do it automatically) in Maps? Scenario: 1. Set target address and let Maps calculate route. so far, so good 2. Start driving. As long as you stay "on route",things are ok 3. You notice that Maps route is not optimal and start driving your own route. Maps does not care. 4. In order to re-calculate route from your current GPS position to same target address. Maps UI gets very clumsy. First you need clear the map, re-enter the target address (well..luckily it's still in search window), ask to Maps to re-route. While doing all this, your car is prob. out of the road already.Why Maps doesn't re-calculate the route automatically when it detects that the GPS position is well "off-the-route". My friend was using his iPhone 3GS + navigation. It did the thing as expected.is this common behaviour of Nokia Maps, or just the N900 version that lags well behind other versions.
I have loaded Ovi Maps 3.03 on my N86 and all seems to be working with the exception that there is no Align Map to Route selection, only default operation of Align Map North. I always used Align Map to Route in the older versions when not navigating and prefer this to always having maps align to north. I found that the compass always starts off and to turn the compass on I need to press the 5 key (the Align map north key) to turn Align to North off and enabe the compass, but this doesn't help when in a car as the compass does not function correctly in a car.Is anyone else seeing the same issues on other phones or is this just an issue with the N86 for which Maps 3.03 isn't released yet?I certainly hope future versions allow for a default selection of either Align Maps North or Align Maps to Route (when not navigating) as well as a seperate selection for defaulting (and selecting) Compass On or Compass Off.
I've just bought a Nokia 5800 and downloaded the latest version of Ovi Maps. I'd rather use this in offline mode, and it works well about 60% of the time. But quite often I get the error "route not found" when I try and set a route. The only way round this is to go online, and then a route can always be found.Having looked on the web I see a lot of people are having this problem but I haven't found a definitve fix yet. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling but the problem persists.
I created a route with a starting point somewhere else as my current location. When I drive tot the starting point and press "start navigation" and pass the starting point, maps tells me to turn around. What am I doing wrong? It seems like I kind of stopover? How do I skip and tell maps I want to continue on the route?Will I have the same problem as I force maps to follow certain navigation points on the route(when I plan a holiday trip)?
I've installed ver 3.03 and maps to my memory card. I've discoverd that if I'm offline I can only drive to a location within about 1 mile. Above that I get a "route not found". I dont get this problem selecting walk. If I configure the application to be on-line then I can create a drive of any length.I've tried removing the application and maps and then reinstalling but get the same problem.
Yesterday I had some curious experiences with my n97 and nokia maps 3.01.After I heard on the radio station, that on my route is high traffic i decided myself to choose an other driving route. Short time after I passed the exit i had orgrinally to enter, nokia maps recalculated a new route for me. So far everything works fine. Nokia maps send me now to the next exit of the highway. Here I should have done a u-turn. In my oppinion it made no sense to drive the way back to the originally exit, because the driving distance was twice as much as from the point of the u-turn? I think there is a buck in nokia maps regarding that point.Another thing which made my curious was, that after the recalculation, nokia maps tried to send me all the time on opposite site the highway enter.If anyone knows something about this points let me know.
A question on "route planning": If I want to drive/walk from point A to C via B, using Maps 3.03 (on an E52), how is that accomplished? Note: with the phone alone, without syncing with Ovi Maps.If "A" is my current destination, it's easy to set "C" (set destination) and be on the road right away. But, if I want to add a new route point "B", I only get the option to add a "category" close by and NOT a favorite or a location by search or history. Actually, pretty useless, if you plan to drive from Paris to Berlin via Amsterdam, to mention one theoretical example.I have noted that many people look for this, however, I found no good answers. If not available in Maps 3.03,any inkling if/when this may be added? The simple answer is, of course, to plan two routes rather than one "via" route.
Re-viewing a planned route with manual scrolling and zooming on the phone was possible in Maps 2.0 and was taken out in Maps 3.0x. In Maps 3.03 you can only zoom to the geographical center of the route (which is useless). You may jump from turn to turn, but you cannot scroll in the zoomed route, let alone add a route point.So my question goes to the people who are already using Ovi Maps 3.04:Is it possible again to zoom/scroll in the preview of a planned route?Is it possible to "edit" a planned route on the phone by adding or removing route points from the preview?IMHO, regarding a mobile navigation application, manually scrolling, zooming and editing a planned route are exactly what make a smartphone into a smart phone.
I have updated my Nokia N8 to Symbian Belle, and with it came Nokia Maps v3.08. But a feature that I regularly use is missing, to plan a route with specific waymarks or stopovers, ie to go from A to B via C (or in my case usually to go from A to F via B, C, D and E). I even had several routes saved in my favourites in the Routes folder but after the update the folder and contents have been deleted.
Will this feature be restored in a future update? And in the meantime can I uninstall v3.08 and install an earlier version that included the "Add to route" feature?
I just received the latest update and was very disappointed to see there is still no way to set the navigation for shortest or fastest route. This seems like a very basic function for a nav program. Is this going to be added in some future update?
I have the N8. My problem is that when i have calculated a route in maps, i want to view where the map wants me to drive. Several times i have been sent on hopless journeys because i have trusted the route calculated for me. How can i view the route!?
I have the new nokia belle and the stable version of nokia maps 3.08 with full maps of Europe in microSD in order to use the gps in offline mode.The problem is when i go to options to avoid highways and toll roads, when planning a route for example from a city of Portugal to Amsterdam he gives me the following message: Route not found.
I planed a route on the Nokia Maps site with a couple of waypoints and some options (no toll roads, no motorways) to get it the way I wanted.
Then I did the synchronization of favorites on the phone and the route was there. But when I tried to open the route on the phone the "Calculating route" message appears and the route that shows up is COMPLETELY different from the one on the Nokia Maps: different roads, strange ways to get to the waypoints, ... In short I can not use this route on the phone as I would like.
Is there a way to transfer complete route AS IS from Nokia Maps to the phone Maps application?
Is it possible to view the full royte in my Nokia Drive? I mean, say I am currently at X and I want to drive to Y. The application doesn't show step by step in advance the complete set of driving directions. It would be good if this option becomes available. Also, while navigating, if I can view the summary of all remaining turn by turn directions needed to reach my destination, it would be great.
I have a C6-01 and I noticed that when Nokia Maps 3.09 is online, route calculating is irritating slow. Why is that? I cannot think of any reason for that, since Nokia Maps is set to ignore traffic infoI also have Garmin Mobile XT on my phone, and as Nokia Maps 3.09, it only has the map data for the South Brazil region. Both maps have similar size. If Nokia Maps is set to go online, it is way slower on route calculation than Garmin Mobile XT is. don't understand why Nokia Maps 3.09, being a state of art nav system, developed specifically for Nokia Belle, is so beaten by the humble Garmin Mobile XT, which is an outdated system, developed for Linux in the first place !lso, I learned from my experience with Nokia Maps 3.09 that route calculating time is dependent on the amount of maps loaded on the phone. The less maps loaded, the faster is route calculating.
I have prepared a route, on Nokia Maps online, which has 22 waypoints plus the start and end point (that's the maximum number of points Nokia Maps online supports). It's a very long route in Brazil: 8.340 Km long. As the route is saved to my Favorites, I can easily see it on any browser when I click on the corresponding favorite name.
But I simply cannot share this route, and I'm very sad about it, because I prepared the route with the intention to share it. When I click on the route's share icon on my Favourites and paste the short link to the browser, I get the errror: "Oops, something went wrong. Please come back later.". This happens on any PC web browser.
Here's the short URL I'm supposed to use for sharing this route: What's going on here? It seems to be a bug of Nokia Maps code or a bug of the URL shortener. I suspect the most on the URL shortenere, as the route has 24 waypoints. But then again, if Maps supports routes with 24 waypoints, the URL shortener should also support it.
If there's any Nokia representative here, could I have a way of contating the support theme in order to follow this up?
I've attached a screenshot of the route on the map, as there's no sensitive data on it.
