@CS

uhm use ovi suit and go to maps, and browse via the list for it…

or even better, download the stand alone “map loader” from nokia site, google it..

@Surendra,
I was just coming to post this here as well. Ovi Maps will crash if you have anything other than Nokia’s positioning server set unfortunately. Google syncs so much faster but I guess that’s the price we pay.
I still can’t figure out how to actually download like a map of America on mine.

Each try I press anything in Ovi Maps, it just freezes. Anyone getting the same?

@CS and all,

Do not try/change the server URL under Location preferences as it crashes down your phone. I’ve changed it suggested by CS however as soon as I launch OVI maps, my phone started shutting down. Uninstall/reinstall did not fix the thing. Changing the address back to Nokia from google fixed the issue.

Hello, does anyone have experience about how to update firmware to v31 in Saudi Arabia? My Nokia 5800 has v21 and even with Nokia Software updater, it says that my device has the latest firmware, but I am unable to install Nokia Maps 3.03. My existing Nokia maps 3.0 still asks for license for drive navigation. Any help is greatly appreciated… Anand.

Hi,

Will this work without data plan? In the past with a navigation license, I could get turn-by-turn without data plan. But now I am getting a “trying to upload” maps message. But although the map is not shown, the voice guidance works!

Finally, how do you get it to say street names. Mine just says “Turn right in 400 yards” etc.

Thanks,
Arvind

@abhi:
Didn’t understand much, but I appreciate the gesture nevertheless.

@Hassan:
Na’am, habibi. It’s just for the phones listed. And about the search feature, you can still search using the address. Just twiddle around with it and you’ll get it.
Yallah ma’ salam.

@Pradyut:
Nopes, tried that. Doesn’t work in Maps, it seems.
