Hi.
Is this the same Ovi maps version that is available from SW update? That
is on my N97 and N97 mini handsets and its the new application for
managing over the air downloads of updated firmware and Nokia aps.
All the best, Ibrahim.

what phone are you using? and did you actually get ovi maps 3.3? I
remember when I used ovi maps 3.1, there were only a few voices to choose
from, but once I update, the choice list jumped to 59...

Hi Siavash - thanks for that, it looks really helpful. The only thing
is, under Navigation, Drive guidaance, I only have 50 options, not 53...
They are English Surfer Dude, English UK female, English UK Male and
English US Male. I selected English US Male and was invited to download
updated driving info, which I accepted.
The Walk guidance says none and, when I click on it, it says no data...
Any ideas? I am wondering whether there's a setting somewhere else that
needs to be set/enabled in order to get this as an option?
All the best,
A somewhat perplexed Barry G

Step by step instructions on how to download Ovi Maps 3.3 and using
it...
This has been tested using a phone such as Nokia n86, Nokia e72, Nokia
n97, Nokia x6, Nokia 5800, Nokia e55, Nokia e52, and all other feature
pack 2 s60 v3 and s60 v5 phones. The phone must be supported or the
installation won't work. Any Feature pack 1 phones such as e71, n75,
n82, etc can't utilize ovi maps 3.3.
First, using your phone's web browser, navigate to
http://www.nokia.com/maps
Go to the heading of "Mobile navigation for everyone" and find the link
of "Download Ovi Maps with free navigation" which can be found directly
the link of "and much more" under the heading listed.
After that, go to the "Download ovi maps for" heading. Navigate down
twice and you will find the link of "download." select it and the
download of Ovi Maps 3.3 should begin.
Install the program (The program can only be download into the phone's
C: drive so ensure you have enough space on your phone. This shouldn't
be a problem on a phone such as the e72, but phones such as n86 and n97
tend to have limited C: drive space. Just be aware.).
After the installation is complete. Ovi maps 3.3 should be on your
phone. It will only be listed as "Maps" and there is no other real way
to know what version is being run, but since you have just gone through
the process, you should know you are running ovi maps 3.3. If you are
having problems finding this, it should always be in your applications
menu by default.
Once you find "Maps," select it and you will go into the programs main
menu. There are two features that are easily reached, but for now I
will discuss the settings menu and support feature.
Once you are within "maps" main menu, click the top left select key
which is on all Nokia phones. A menu will open with three choices.
Account (Which is not really very important to anyone of us for the
time being), Settings, and support. If you select settings, there will
be five choices. Internet, navigation, route, map, synchronization. In
internet, you can change the connection ovi maps uses (This is very
important because depending on the phone and network, you can connect
to a network that ovi maps uses to download relevant information and
maps onto your phone for the gps to utilize.) If you go into
navigation, the first choice is drive guidance. Enter that and the
English UK with street names should be the 15th choice out of 59. The
English us with street names is 17 out of 59. Select one of those and
your phone will automatically download the voice. After that, you can
go to walk guidance and the English UK with street names is 3 out of 10
and the English us with street names is 4 out of 10. Select it and you
will have the voice. After that, one very important feature that should
be set up is home location. Select it and if the location listed is not
your home address, change it by selecting my position which will
automatically choose the current location you are at and make that your
home location, search allows you to manually input the address you
want. Home location is extremely important because it allows you to use
drive or walk from where ever you are and gives you gps directions with
little need to input anything. The other settings at this point aren't
that important and I won't go into them because they should be pretty
self explanatory and you can decide if you want to tweak them or not.
When you are done doing all the things in the settings menu, you can go
to support. About, legal notices, and feedback is there. The other two
aren't accessible, but feedback is and I recommend you leave feedback
to explain that you want the program to be made fully accessible for
talks users as it will get to nokia and lend us all attention from
nokia and if they are aware of us wanting the accessibility, they are
more likely to actually do it.
After leaving feedback, you can go back to the main menu by pressing
the top right select key. I can't say how many to actually press it to
get back to the main menu, but if you press enough that it leaves the
program, no big deal. Simply relaunch the program and it will
automatically take you back to the main menu and by default, it always
leaves you over the drive option highlighted. If you ever close "Maps,"
and relaunch it, it will always leave on Drive highlighted.
If you wish to get driving directions, then simply press select. Once
that is done, you are always placed on home location highlighted. If
you select that, then it will automatically find your current location
and automatically provide you with voice guided directions to get home.
If you are not looking for your home location, after selecting drive,
simply press right once and you will highlight the search feature. If
you select that, it will take you to an accessible menu with three
choices. The two important ones are history and search which you can
get to by pressing up and down. If you select history, all the previous
searches you made will be listed with how far you are from that
location. If you select one of the history choices, it will
automatically realize your current location and provide you with voice
directions to get to what you chose. If you select the search feature,
you can type in the place or address you want and once you press
select, it will state searching. After a bit, search results will come
up and you have the choice of selecting one. When you do select one,
the gps will automatically find your location and provide you with
relevant voice directions to get to your destination.
From the main menu, since drive is always highlighted by default, going
right once will leave you highlighting the walk feature. This is almost
exactly the same as if you were using the drive feature. Once selecting
walk, it will leave you highlighting home location which you can select
to get to your home address. Going right once will leave you
highlighting search and selecting that will leave you in the accessible
menu with history and search.
If you ever get lost, do not worry. Closing the program and restarting
will always leave you highlighting drive and this should be able to
reorient you. All the other features that are accessible should be self
explanatory and with not too much practice, you should gain a level of
familiarity with the program despite its quirks. If you are searching
for a specific location and the results come up as not found, don't
fret, simply research and the results you want will show up. For some
reason, ovi maps doesn't always find the search results the first time.
I don't know why this is, but Nokia will probably fix it with the next
release. If there are any further questions, feel free in asking and
also feel free in editing this or adding whatever relevant information
you have found. Hope this helps.

Good good. So it seems to be working, and I have set up list archives
to be archived over at
www.mail-archive.com.
What I really want to know is, what exactly does one do when they load
maps for the first time? Talks doesn't say much. I made it tell me
that I was at my destination in 100 meters but that was about it.
Pure accident, I think.
Any ideas?
I could ask the wife but she's busy most of the time. If someone has
a good definitive answer that would be great.
Much thanks in advance.
