Nokia Maps

You can check if your device has the latest compatible Map data simply by connecting your device to a PC running Nokia Suite and selecting View > Go To > Maps.

If you have a Mac, running Map Loader for Mac will advise you if there is an update to the Map data (applies for Maps 3.04 and older, version 3.06 and later not supported).

With Maps 3.06 and later you can check the availability of map data updates and do the update over Wi-Fi (WLAN) connection by selecting:

• Maps 3.06: Update > Check for updates.
  
• Maps 3.08: Map Loader > Check for updates.

Depending on your phone model, you can update your Maps version to v3.08 via one of the following delivery channels:

1. SW Update menu

• N8-00, E7-00, C7-00, C6-01, Astound, Oro, X7-00, E6-00, Nokia 603, Nokia 700, Nokia 701

Note that the update via SW Update menu is not available for phone software versions earlier than Symbian Anna. You must first update to Symbian Anna before you can install Maps 3.08 via the SW Update menu.

2. Nokia Suite

• N8-00, E7-00, C7-00, C6-01, Astound, Oro, X7-00, E6-00, Nokia 603, Nokia 700, Nokia 701

Note that the update via Nokia Suite is not available for phone software versions earlier than Symbian Anna. You must first update to Symbian Anna before you can install Maps 3.08 via Nokia Suite.

3. Nokia Store

Maps 3.08 is available as smart installer package at Nokia Store for the following devices:

• N8-00, E7-00, C7-00, C6-01, Astound, Oro, X7-00, E6-00, Nokia 603, Nokia 700, Nokia 701

When installing from Nokia Store, you can install Maps also to devices running an earlier phone software version than Symbian Anna.

4. Nokia mobi

Maps 3.08 is available as smart installer package in Nokia mobi (nokia.mobi/maps) for the following devices:

• Nokia 603, Nokia 700, Nokia 701
  

Note that an online connection is needed from the device when installing the smart installer package.

Maps can be used offline to avoid data charges, however the following will not be available in Offline Mode:

• View Satellite maps
• View Terrain maps
• Search the latest address/POI database
• Real-time Traffic and Safety updates
• Share your status, photos and location to your Facebook profile (Maps 3.03 and later)
• Get Weather forecasts
• See local event info from WCities (Maps 3.03 and later)
• Access Lonely Planet city guides (Maps 3.03 and later)
• Access the Michelin restaurant guide (Maps 3.03 and later)
• Synchronize your locations with Nokia Maps on the internet

You can switch between Online and Offline mode by going to the Maps Settings and:

1. Select Internet or General
   
2. Select Connection or Go Online at Start-up 

Please Note: Switching between Online and Offline mode in Maps will not prevent data charges through the user of Positioning settings such as AGPS and WiFi/Network positioning. These will need to be turned off in the Positioning Settings on your phone. Please see your phone manual for more information.

This can be fixed by changing the settings in the Assisted GPS server. Do the following steps: 

• Select Menu  > Settings > Application Settings > Positioning > Positioning server > Server Settings.
• It shows:  1 supl.nokia.com.
• By tapping that, it shows: Server address* Supl.nokia.com and Only in home network Yes.
• Switch Only in home network to No.

This setting should be set to No, because otherwise if you are in a different network than your home network your phone will not use GPS assistance, which results in a long wait to get a GPS fix.

There is an icon for the Drive application available on your phone's home screen.

You can also start drive navigation from Maps:
1. Search for the destination.
2. Select the place on the map and its information area at the top of the screen.
3. Select Navigate, and Drive here.

In the Symbian^3 devices (e.g. Nokia N8-00, C6-01, C7-00) you can delete and rename a collection or route in the Favourites folder of Maps by long pressing the collection or route and selecting Delete or Rename.

In S60 5.0 devices with QWERTY keyboard (e.g. Nokia N97 mini) you can delete a collection or route by selecting it and pressing the backspace key on the keyboard.

If the deletion or renaming is not supported in your device or Maps version, it is possible to get the routes deleted or renamed by synchronising your favourites to maps.nokia.com, renaming or deleting the routes there and synchronising back to your device.

The deletion and renaming of the collections and routes is supported with Maps v3.06 and later.

You need to install the voice guidance pack to your device and select the desired voice pack in Maps before you can hear the navigation voice instructions. The voice guidance packs can be installed either via Nokia Suite or by downloading the voice packs directly to your device.

The voice packs with street names (voice packs with computer voices) can be used with both drive and walk navigation, the other voice packs are available only with drive navigation.

1. Plug in your device to PC running Nokia Suite (select Nokia/Ovi Suite or PC Suite mode as connection mode).
2. Go to Maps menu in Nokia Suite (View > Go to > Maps).
3. In the leftmost column select Voice guidance languages.
4. Select the desired language and click Download to start installing the voice guidance pack.

The Compass is not turned on by default in Maps 3.03 (or later). To turn it on, press 5 on your keypad, or tap the Compass Icon on your touch device.

Once you have turned on the Compass, you will need to configure it. To do this, hold the device in your hand and rotate it until the Compass icon turns from Red, through Yellow to Green.

The little red dots on the map are ‘breadcrumbs’ you have been leaving behind you. They show your previous position and indicate the way you’ve been walking.
