Nokia :: How To Update Maps And Voice Guidance Data On My Phone?
Apr 1, 2010
I have a few questions about how to update maps and voice guidance data on my phone. I have US maps installed on my phone. Let's say they come out with an updated version of the US maps. How will Maps Loader (s/w installed on my PC) know of the update? Does the Maps Loader software on my computer automatically check for updates? I don't see any option for this. Ok, let's say somehow I get the updated maps on my computer. I understand that I need to use Maps Loader application on my PC to load the latest map data on my phone.
When I try to do that, why doesn't Maps Loader application show that I have a version installed already? When I open the Maps Loader app, it just shows what you decide to add on in the 'Selection' pane. Is there no good way of knowing what version of the country map you are loading or the version that is installed? Also, is there a way to specify a name of a contact in your contact book instead of having to type out the whole address for the contact? I have tried typing the name of the contact, but it doesn't like it.

I am receiving a strange error when trying to update the maps on my N8 via PC.The error is as follows:There isn't enough space left on your computer to update your maps or voice guidance files. free up some space from the drive C: and try again. You need 17.7GB, but at the moment, you only have 22.4GB left.Unless numbers have changed in 2013 22.4GBis MORE than 17.7?p.s. also tried on different pc with 27GB free and get the same error.Nokia suite version used is 3.7.22

I have updated my 5800 and downloaded maps. I have installed uk maps on the phone but I have no voice guidance. In the settings menu under drive guidance it states 'none' but when I select download nothing happens. Can I get voice guidance online and transfer it to the phone. Also why did the maps software not come with it when I remember selecting english as an option in the install process when I used my computer to install it on the phone.

Have a new Nokia 5230 the Maps application was working fine and now get this on the PC Ovi. Cannot find maps or voice guidance on your device. This is due to either of the following reasons:Your device does not support the Nokia Maps application. The maps and voice guidance files are corrupted Ok then went to help and deleted the files as advised.
If you see a notification in Nokia Ovi Suite Maps that your device's maps or voice guidance files may have been corrupted, switch the device's USB mode to the mass storage USB mode. Then, from your device's memory card, look for a folder named Cities and a file named qf, and delete them. After that, switch back to the PC Suite USB mode. Refer to the user guide of your device for more detailed information on selecting or changing the USB mode.

I think it would be nice if the following topics were all merged into one including this one./t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Navigation-and-Music-Player/m-p/431753/highlight /true #M9985 /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Bug-music-player-volume-disabled-when-navigating-with-maps-v3-03/m-p/612.../t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Maps-3-03-final-music-player-volume-is-muted-during-navigation/m-p/61365.../t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Ovi-Maps-3-03-incoming-call-problem/m-p/615330/highlight/true#M16876 /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Hello-does-anyone-know-how-to-answer-a-call-with-speaker-while/m-p/63738.../t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/What-happens-when-you-re-using-nav-mode-on-Ovi-Maps-and-someone/m-p/6179...I wanted adress this issue as we all complaint of the same:When using OVI Maps 3.03 we can't control the music/radio volume during navigation and during voice guidance indications (messages) the volume is dimmed but then it won't come up / increase to the previous level!Also we need a IN-APP system to answer calls and transfer them between the speakerphone and loudspeaker and also to increase and decrease call volume without altering the navigation (voice guidance) volume. The voice guidance should have a option in the menu to be interrupted during a call (and come back imediatly after it ends) or to continue playing during the call.In summary I would like the following addressed:
- Create a screen indication inside OVI Maps 3.03 of the music playing in the Music Player or the station in the Radio Player when navigating;
- Mute the music or radio when a navigation indication is being given by dimming the volume, and immediatly after the indication is given, increase the volume to the orinal volume level. For close navigation indications, no music/radio volume increase should occur!
- Allow changing of track (Music) / preset stations (Radio) inside the OVI Maps App during navigation;
- Allow the increase of the volume of the radio or Music inside the OVI Maps during navigation (and choose the navigation volume inside options or using alphanumeric or directional buttons);
- Allow answering and changing calls from speakerphone to loudspeaker from inside the OVI Maps 3.03 app, and also, call volume!

after updating Ovi Maps to final version 3.06 10wk50 with new maps 0.2.42.122 the German voice guidance with street names is broken. The voice announces i.e. to turn right in one kilometer and again to turn right now, but the announcement to turn right in about 300 meters including the street name or the highway number and direction is missing completely. Sometimes the command to turn now is also left out. I tried using the German female voice without street names as well as the UK English voice with street names - both work well without any problems.I already reinstalled Ovi Maps via Ovi Store, deleted the qf file and the cities folder on the mass memory and re-downloaded the map and voice files, I resetted the phone via *#7370# and reinstalled the actual firmware (013.016) via Ovi Suite without success.

My E72 is navigating fine with turn-by-turn voice instructions with spoken street names and street-level views of cities on the several continents from maps I had previously downloaded. All seems very fine. But Ovi Suite is giving me the bad news that it "Cannot find maps or voice guidance files on your device."

I have a bluetooth car kit that mutes my car stereo. When ever the Maps app talks the stereo mutes. I would like to disable the voice so I can view directions but not have my stereo continually muted. Turning the volume to zero does not solve it. No voice is head but it still mutes the stereo. Currently my only solution is to turn my N97 bluetooth off. Is voice disable possible? Route66 has that feature. Is tired of Nokia whingers. Go to Apple, that's where you deserve to be.

The "No Voice Guidance under Bluetooth" problem seems to be well documented on this board as well as elsewhere on the web, and can be sumarize like this: In-Car bluetooth connections that work fine for phonecalls will not relay voice directions from Maps, and the phone itself stays mute. In effect, no voice directions are heard at all. The reason seems clear as well: The bluetooth standard allows for several different kinds of sound-streams for priority purposes etc. Most In-Car bluetooth devices however (including several NOKIA-ones), accept only actual phonecalls. Hence, all oher sound is muted while connected to the car. The rather obvious solution would be to have a setup-item in Ovi-Maps that forces all sound from the program to use the phones integrated speakers instead of an operative Bluetooth connection. (Use Bluetooth connection for Voice directions On/Off). However, over all the posts, NO NOKIA STAFF have responded to aknowledge the problem or comment on it's possible solution or workaround. (And I have not found any third party app that adresses the issue.)One might speculate that the reason would be the design of the operating system, choosing to handle all sound in a similar way, which undoubtedly is a good thing ... in most cases, but in this case dissalows usage of the free navigation in the one situation it is of the highest value - IN THE CAR. NOW - as FREE NAVIGATION becomes a major selling point and the aplication can't work in a modern car while maintaining legal phone connectivity, NOKIA needs to accept this reality, and make Ovi-maps useable for these users as well - even if that means defying a design principle. An actual response from someone informed.For reference, I use version 3.03 10wk01 b05 of Ovi-maps on my NOKIA N97 mini with a factory fitted Alfa Romeo "Blue&Me" bluetooth kit, developed by Microsoft Automotive.

Since upgrading to maps a few days ago, I was really impressed, and it's free - even though I had a paid subscription for Maps 2. Today I tried 3.03 in the car for the first time, and found something really annoying: The phone doesn't alternate between voice guidance and radio/CD like it used to, and for that matter all other nav-sat apps do. It is really annoying if you are on a 6 hour trip and the only entertainment you have is listening to the occasional direction from Maps. I there a setting I'm missing, or is this Nokia QC that didn't test the app properly again. The hands-free seems to work fine otherwise; I hope, maybe the new software upgrade broke tee Parrot<->N97 completely.
Others have complained about the older maps having a .5 second cut off waiting for the hands free to "wake up" when a new direction is being announced, obviously this problem is now solved, but I'd rather have a .5 second stutter than listening to wind noise for hours, or switching on Maps every time I enter a town/village and off again when I'm back on the long road.

Maps 3.03 voice guidance works on my phone. However my question is when I turn on bluetooth on my phone & in car stereo system, will the voice guidance be transferred to my car speakers ? My Car system is paired with my phone and I can stream songs via bluetooth. However voice guidance does not stream to car speaker. Is it supported or am I supposed to use phone speakers only for GPS voice guidance ? Any inputs?

When I'm using my 6710 Navigator in the car for navigation & listening to the directions via the car stereo (Bluetooth connection). About the first 1/2 second of the directions are missing. For example instead of "Turn right" I just hear "Right". I can sort of make my way but its hard not hearing the beginning of all the guidance. If I listen via the phone's speaker the instructions are complete. I have a 2009 Hyundai Getz, so its not an old stereo & have installed the latest maps/software on the phone. My 6110 didn't have this problem.

I'm a E72 user together with a Parrot CK3000EVO Bluetooth Car Handsfree attached to my VW Stereo.I earlier used this setup with a HTC Diamond. Back then I didn't receive phone sounds (like SMS, reminders etc) through the Handsfree. Only Phone calls were transmitted.
However, with my E72 every single sound is transmitted to the BT Handsfree including Maps voice guidance. The later is OK, but it is way louder then for example Phone Call Volume.It also interrupts ongoing phone calls which is highly irritating.So I've got two questions in hope for help:Anyone knows how to tune the sound from Maps? Lower the Volume?Is there a way to stop sound like alerts, reminders, bleeps etc on the E72 to be delivered to BT Handsfree?Is there a way to stop Maps interrupting Phone Calls?

Nokia is misleading and cheating customers proclaiming that the C7 is compatible with BH 217 for voice guidance and navigation. I spent a huge amount of money and it does not work.

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?

Since Ovi updated the maps I've had trouble using it. I have version 40 firmware which was installed by Vodafone when my device expired. Despite the update, Ovi maps just crashes the phone when I try to use it. The screen goes blank and I get all coloured lines flashing down one side and the phone reluctantly restarts.

I wanted to scroll through the uploaded voices and search for some fun-voices. (My old Navi did have an add-on CD with voices from Bruce Willis, or bavarian voice, which was much fun).
When trying to scroll through the existing uploads i pretty fast recognised that there is no way to find something or search for something special..... if i would for example search for Bruce Willis, i would have to scroll and scroll and scroll throught the pages until i end up at B.... and there is nothing, so now i would have to scroll to W... what i did not do.Is this the current status of the uploads, or am i doing something wrong?

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?

I have Version 3.03 with map version 0.1.23.112 and I'm going crazy trying to figure out why it doesn't speak when I'm navigating. As in it doesn't say when to make a left or right.When I had the phone (brand new) it has nokia maps and then I updated it thru my phone and gave me Ovi Maps.

I live in Brazil and recently bought a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. I've installed the Ovi Maps 2.0 and download, through the nokia program the maps for Brazil and Brazilian Portuguese voice. During the "Drive"/"Walk" options in Ovi Maps, there is no voice. I don't know what to do. I've checked the updates on the phone software and map software through the computer and it says as the last version.
