Installing Nokia Maps 3.0.1 on the Nokia E71x

Jane, lead writer at Jane Talks Tech! is a self-taught photographer and blogger enthusiastic about computer software & whatever else catches her ire or fancy. Follow her on Twitter @janetalkstech or subscribe to Jane Talks Tech!
  1. Update: it appears that using the Ovi Suite software, you do need to go to the trouble of downloading the older version 2.0 Ovi Maps .sis files. Follow the instructions on installing version 2 first and then, installing version 3 per the instructions in my post. When that succeeds, download & install the Ovi Suite (to your computer) . The Ovi Maps application on your Nokia E71x phones should now be detectable and updated by the Ovi Suite software! Let me know in the comments if you aren't able to install Ovi Maps on your Nokia E71x phone. See the latest comment from SkyWorker that prompted a revision.

Wow! The visits to my posts on tweaking the Nokia E71x, some apps for the Nokia E71x and my recommended gear and more applications for the E71x are insane by my very modest standards. This blog is a labor of love and at most, I get ~ 15 visits daily (5 of which are from Bots). So, seeing something in the neighborhood of 60 visits/day is pretty huge and no Bots there! :D It tells me that this is a market that can be tapped into and by Jove, I aim to please! I'm on Twitter as @janetalkstech and make sure you subscribe to my blog here and keep track of my Nokia E71x related postings.

So, what else have I discovered about my new Nokia E71x since I've had it? Well, here goes:

  1. The question  is not if your phone will get scuffed up, it's when. Get a case for your phone now or see the black beauty get scarred.
  2. Google Maps will not work without a data connection. If you obtained a Nokia E71x without signing up for a data connection AND you are able to use Google Maps, guess what? You are making a data counter at AT & T very happy. I'm dreading my phone bill because I didn't realize that Google Maps didn't work with Wifi and I had been playing rather heavily with tracking myself via Google Maps. Oy vey. Painful and expensive lesson learned.
  3. Nokia Maps 3.0 (now Ovi Maps) works on your Nokia E71x device. The road to getting it installed is painful, but it can be done. The best part about it? Nokia Maps 3.0 will work on your device without needing a data connection. For driving directions to work, you will need to purchase a license from Nokia. You don't need Wifi connection for the turn-by-turn directions to work. Here's I went through to get it working on my device:
    1. Download Nokia Maps 2.0 and 3.0 onto your computer using the files (Nokia_Maps_2.0_0701_3.2_u.sis> and Nokia_Maps_3.0_0302_3.2_u.sis which are actually for 6650 device, but apparently works on the E71x) from this website (here originally at http://tamale.pwnij.com/e71x/). FIRST, make sure your microSD card is in your phone. We will be dealing with a lot of data so check yourself. SECOND, install Nokia Maps 2.0 on your device via the Nokia PC Suite software and run Nokia Maps 2.0 once. Reboot your device after the install successfully completes. Ensure you are doing the installation using your USB cord. THEN, install Nokia Maps 3.0 onto your device through PC Suite and run it once as well. At this point, you may run into the "low memory" message and all that is needed is for you to go to your C:/ or E:/ drive and delete the Cities/ folder and a 'qf' file.
    2. If you don't know what C:/ or E:/ drive means, I strongly recommend you get an AT & T data plan. If you do, thumbs up. Keep reading.
    3. After deleting the Cities/ folder (if you had a problem starting up Nokia Maps 3.0 in the first place), then start up Nokia Maps 3.0 again. Success! Restart your device to 'clear its head'.
    4. Visit Nokia's website and download two files: (i)Nokia Map loader for downloading the maps (ii) Nokia Map Updater for updating the Nokia Maps software. Hint: your device selection is the E71 in order to access the Nokia Maps Updater software.
    5. Connect your Nokia E71x phone to the computer in Mass Storage PC Suite mode and start up Nokia Maps Updater software. It should detect your device and prompt you to update your Nokia Maps 3.0 software to Nokia Maps 3.0.1. If you get this far, you're looking mighty fine. :D
    6. Then, fire up the Nokia Maps Uploader software (Hint: do the actual map downloading at a time when your network is least congested. I did the download at ~ 2am so that about 1.4GB didn't take 2 years to download).I opted to download the entire US maps to my device. I'm hoping you realize that you must already have your microSD card (8GB or more) in your device because the US maps are ~ 1.4GB in size.
    7. When the download is done, exit and you are free to fire up the Nokia Maps software. In my experience, it takes a couple of minutes to get a GPS fix, but I'm not complaining because it's free, right? You get what you pay for. In this case, I hear AT & T's Navigator software is quite good, but again, I am averse to paying for convenience. lol.
    8. PS: Based on comments, I'm putting up a link to this site that points directly to the maps files for Ovi Maps 3.0 that reside on Nokia's servers (in case the Map Loader software is not working as it should).
  4. Games:- Handango is pretty pathetic in its selection of games for the Nokia E71x device. However, I discovered that Gameloft has a mobile site and as I write, I've got Prince of Persia on my device!  However, their online payment system has hiccups. Something I've also discovered is that Handango is like an aggregator which makes resolving issues more complicated than it needs to if you need a refund issued. So, I'm trying to hunt down the actual game developers for the applications I purchase and get them from their website directly if they have an option to purchase online from them!.
  5. Thus far, all my paid downloads have been for useful applications like the Handy Converter and the Handy Expense tracker, Merriam Webster 3rd International Unabridged Dictionary with a Sound module, a paid KJV bible (along with 2 free readers from Olive Tree Bible Software and Mobipocket E-Book Reader), Call Recorder, Mobiola Screen Capture software, Twittix, X-plore, Quickoffice Premier 6, Adobe Reader LE 2.5 and Emoze Pro.
  6. Lastly, my entire series of Nokia E71x posts will not be complete without mentioning the guys at Nokia Experts who have been a key factor in getting me started on my way to emancipating myself from AT & T's shackles. Go visit them and encourage them to keep posting more Nokia E71x tips and tricks!!

HI,
Everything went well till 3rd step of installing nokia maps. In 4th step i install nokia uploader just following the path by that link It lead me to
"http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download-maps/map-loader".
Is that correct site or it will make any differenc because that site is specially for europe region. I am confuse do we need to download software from "http://www.nokiausa.com/exploreservices/maps/download/nokia_map_loader".

I tried both of them but non of them worked.
I installed map loader from this link: "http://www.nokiausa.com/exploreservices/maps/download/nokia_map_loader"
and updater from this link "http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download-maps".

i tried to run updater first and then loader but it always says this error "nokia maps updater ERROR: initialization of the maps server service API failed.
connection to the map server has been interrupted(9). make sure that internet connection is working and try again. if you are still unable to update try again later."
and i am trying and trying.

Jane Ullah of http://janetalkstech.com/about

Did you connect to a wifi hotspot before starting up the Maps program? It might help if you activated your offline profile as well just to troubleshoot the problem. You can activate the offline profile by pressing the "on" button once and scrolling down till you see the "Offline" profile. This will shutoff your 3G/Media net access and you will be only able to use Wifi.

Did you connect your phone to your PC via the USB cord? For some reason, the Nokia Maps updater won't recognize my phone if I try to connect Maps Updater to my phone via a bluetooth connection. That would be my first recommendation i.e. connect your phone to the PC via the provided USB cord. Then, run the Maps Updater software. Comment if this works for you.

Waiting for GPS means it's waiting for enough GPS signals to accurately pinpoint your location. I've found that it takes at least 3 minutes of the phone in an open area while stationary for the Nokia Maps program to get a fix. Once it gets a fix, it's pretty good at hanging on and if it loses the GPS signal, it 'catches' the signal much more quickly.

Hi Jane,
Thanks for your quick response. yes i did by connecting my cell phone via usb cord and in pc suite mod. But i am getting the same error, As i mentioned earlier. I dont know whether it is internet error or something else.
CAn we download maps by using cellphone via WIFI connection?

Nokia maps 3.0 is working well. As you said earlier it took some time to fix GPS. But I dont have maps and i am not using data plan. Is there any way That i can download usa maps to my cell phone and nokia maps software can get data from there instead of using WIFI to upload maps.

what about licensing things.?
Do we need to buy any license to get turn to turn navigation or after downloading maps by updater it will work fine.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks raj.

Based on what I've read online, make sure you have the latest version of the Nokia PC suite software. What phone do you have? I'm assuming it's a Nokia E71x phone. You can download the huge Map files from this website: http://diabo.freehostia.com/symbian/indexmaps.htm As always, caveat emptor when downloading links from external sites posted here. :) Also, you might want to consider uninstalling the Maps Updater and Maps Loader software entirely and re-installing them. It appears to have worked for the guy in this thread. Lastly, the premium services available for the Ovi Maps 3.0 are:
i) Traffic infoii) Guidesiii) Drive Navigationiv) City Explorer

Pricing for these items is also available on the Nokia website.

My question now is : what about on places where there si no wifi/hotspot? My I placed the MEDIANET on the 11th on my priority connection list.

I have used google before...you can also disable the MEDIANET connection for as long as your in wifi.

I installed the Nokia Map 3.0 successfully. However, when I launched it, it could not lock the gps. So I have a few question.
1) How long does it take to lock the gps?
2) Do I need to stay outside in a clear area?
3) How do I know that the gps is lock (any icons)? I keep getting the flashing phone icon with 0 kb progress bar at the right bottom of the screen.

Thanks for helping!!!

Jane Ullah of http://janetalkstech.com/about

In my experience, you need to be in an open area for, at least, 5 minutes to get a lock on your GPS signal. The GPS will be locked when the bar starts showing green stripes. The more green stripes, the stronger the gps signal. You're very welcome!

Jane Ullah of http://janetalkstech.com/about

Press the button that you would use to turn the phone off just once. It is a red button on top of the phone. Then, you will see various options such as "switch off", "lock keypad", etc. The "offline" profile is at the bottom of the list.

If there's no Wifi, you simply won't be able to make use of the Traffic and Info feature if you have that. Other than that, I haven't missed out by not having Wifi. As long as you have downloaded the current maps to your microSD card, you should be able to explore/browse your city via Ovi Maps. You don't need to go online for Drive Navigation if that is a concern of yours.

Mr Bock

Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial. I got it working even though my computer is a Mac which requires a bit more of an effort on the software side. Still not a great deal of Mac support but Nokia is at least putting some effort into it. One question that might be a bit silly...if I just want to look at a map and don't really need to fix my location via GPS (i.e. if I simply want to see where "Nowhereville" is on a map of my state) where do I find it on my phone? I don't seem to be able to do this until the phone finds a GPS fix.

Hey Kiem, have you had any luck? I have the exact same problem as you. Am I required to be in an open area AND stationary as well? I've left it on while I drive around but I don't know if that counts. Is this just a Nokia Maps software issue? Even though I cannot connect to anything while indoors with NOkia Maps I have experimented with Google Maps and I definitely can get a location from the GPS using Google.

what i mean in saying that the gps will connect automatically to MEDIANET at a rate of 5kb average was during the inialization..at the disclamer stage.

Wang,

I got the gps locked. It usually take about 5 minutes to lock on the gps. Just stay outside of your house (in open area). Nokia map is much better since it doesn't use any data (I preloaded the map via PC). However, turn-by-turn navigating requires license. You can still do route planning and track your position free though. I don't know whether any of you in here can overcome the licensing issue (it will do turn-by-turn navigation for about 1 minute and then ask you to obtain the license).

Hey Marv,

Marv, I got it working. It was just a matter of rebooting my phone...lol. Felt silly to think basic computer installation techniques eluded me. I did what you did, that is to use Map Uploader to download the entire US maps (1.4 gigs), which reminds me...did you have issue with your sd card assigning a set amount of space for maps installation? I had a 2gig card but when I loaded up Uploader it said I only had 1.6gigs worth of space for maps installation.

In regards to your second issue about turn-by-turn directions. Based on what I read while getting Nokia Maps installed, I came across a few "cracked" copies of Novi Maps 3.0. I don't know how reputable they are though. And from what I read, your phone has to be "cracked" as well. Not sure what that means since I think the term applies to E71 phones as well as E71x. Let me know if you hear of anything.

i did go offline..but the moment you move the map/search...it will connect to medianet...again 5kb data was used...any thoughts?thank you

Jane Ullah of http://janetalkstech.com/about

You may need to block all internet access on your phone to be absolutely sure you are not using any of ATT's services. Other than blocking the internet, I'd recommend verifying that you have Medianet as the last on the priority scale. Check your phone settings and go to connections. Click "destination" and make sure that on all 3 destinations, ATT's services are the last on the scale. Good luck!

Jane Ullah of http://janetalkstech.com/about

If you click the middle or OK button, you should select explore and it'll bring up a category/listing of things like automobiles, museums, etc. Note that it'll be listing things from the area that the red dot is on. This should work assuming you have downloaded the entire US maps to your microSD card. Also, you can move the red dot arround using the D-pad even though you don't have a GPS fix. Just move it to the area you want and click the OK button and feel free to explore from there! Hope this helps. :)

Jane Ullah of http://janetalkstech.com/about

Yeah, it was so annoying and it drove me to get the license. Which I might add is not all it's cracked up to be. Sure, it's better than spending $300 on a gps device, but it's not the sharpest tool in the shed. :)

i'm pretty sure that medianet is on the last of the priority list...however, have you tried checking on your data counter if you have 5-6 kb data of medianet usage?thank you

i think that nokia/ovi store being a legal business entity have this kind of business agreement of some sort..i can assure you...even if i put it offline..no network connection at all....it will still connect to medianet again....5-6 kb...just check your data counter..

I downloaded everything just fine and seemed to work okay until I actually went out of town. When I used it to search an address it would lock into the driving directions for about 30 seconds then a message would pop up "Online connection required to enter the shop. Connect now?" when I say NO then I loose my GPS guidance (though the GPS still shows my co-ordinance). Sometimes a message comes up asking me to pay a fee (daily $2.29, monthly $8.89 or yearly $63.99) for the use of the Nokia Guidance Service. I thought that was free. Am I doing something wrong? By the way I have tried disabling online connection but it still ask me to connect to the online shop.

You can't use turn by turn directions without paying the fees you described. :) I didn't figure it out until I paid the yearly fee and I was able to use the turn by turn directions afterwards.

Hello Jane,

Thanks for the tutorials. I'm having couple of the problem with running the maps on the phone and was wondering if you can point me in the right directions. First, I got both version of the maps 2.0 and 3.0 from the site you have listed in the step 1. But when i try to run the maps 2.0 and 3.0 on my phone like you have asked, it wouldn't load to 100 % , for 2.0 version it loads upto 17% and for 3.0 version, the blue bar is like 20 % across the screen. I"m not sure what i'm doing wrong. I have updated the firmware version on the phone like you have asked. I was thinking is it because i had them install on my phone and not on the memory card ? if so how can do i that, like choose where to install the file, i tired to search for it but i couldn't find it. Thank you for your attention , please help.

VP,

With Ovi Suite 2.0 software, there is no need for the instructions on this post. Please backup your phone's contacts/calendar/etc and then, uninstall the Nokia PC Suite software. Once you're done, install the Ovi Suite software and follow the instructions for connecting your phone to the computer. Ovi Suite software recognizes the Nokia E71x phone and you should be able to install the Maps 3.0 software without needing any 2.0 .sisx files. Hope this helps.

Ram,

You'll have to pay for a license to use turn-by-turn directions with the Ovi Maps application on the E71x phone.

Cheers,
Jane

You need to pay on the Nokia 6220c as well. It sucks. I felt tricked when I bought the phone and Nokia advertised that it comes with GPS and Nokia maps, only to find that didn't include directions. I felt tricked again when Nokia advertised free maps and directions, only to find it was not for existing local customers.

Is it just me or is AT∨

I was not able to reinstall the Ovi Store after resetting my phone. Also I am having trouble to get Ovi Maps back to work.

I could imagine that AT∨

This would be my first reason to switch to Verizon. Second reason is that Verizon has way more sophisticated Droid phones like the HTC Incredible.

Not happy with AT&T right now! ARGH!

I got up to step 4 and when I tried to install the map updater, it gave me an error saying that "Unable to install. No access" Please help

Hi Th,

I'm not recommending the use of the Nokia Maps Updater anymore. Is the error popping up on your phone or is that on your computer? Make sure you're installing the Maps Updater software with the proper permissions.

Sincerely,
Jane

HELP

The website says nokia navigation free yet when I install the file and go
to plan a route it ask me to "enter the shop" and then if I say no the route planned
disappears. I don't need navigation but at least a drawn line on my map would be fine. Why is it doing this if they say free nav download.

I've been trying for days trying to get ovi maps to work on my E71x w/no success. It was working for a few minutes and then stopped and I've since deleted the old 3.0 maps and now I can't reinstall any of the versions that I try (vs 2.0 installed but didn't work, told me to update it).

I saw your post that you don't recommend the updater anymore. Do you by chance have another solution to getting this to work?

thx much!

Hi Debbi,

Have you tried a complete uninstall of the Ovi Maps application and made sure that any /cities or qf files on the microSD card have been deleted? I've heard from readers saying that the Ovi Suite software didn't work for them so you might have to start afresh by following the exact steps in this post. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Jane

I tried using the ovi suite to install and it didn't work, I get a 'no access' error. Anyway I noticed your links for the 3.0 versions are are broken so here is another link to a forum with links.

Finally I'm curious about your setup, you said you could install 3.03 with the nokia suite? Is your phone unlocked?

Hi Matt,

Please bear in mind my Nokia E71x has been broken for a while (over 7 months) and it is entirely possible that software changes have made installing Nokia maps to the E71x impossible or harder. I can't speak to current versions of the Nokia Suite or Ovi Suite software anymore primarily because I haven't used the software in a long while. My apologies for any inconvenience.

I also updated the links to the complete Nokia Maps downloads from the non-Nokia website as well as links to the older versions of Ovi Maps.

Update: To answer your question (I get distracted mid-answer sometimes. :P), my phone isn't/wasn't unlocked and I did the v. 3 install with the Ovi Suite software. If using the older Nokia PC Suite, I think it's safest to do the installation with v. 2 and then, upgrading to v. 3.

Sincerely,
Jane

Just wanted to say that this advice was invaluable in assisting me with getting Ovi maps (any version) re-installed on my E71x. Back in January in an effort to take advantage of the "free" navigation I totally screwed up my install, and tried to re-install with no luck. After 7 months of intermittent attempts I stumbled on this site and it worked! I think that the main problem is getting the ver 2 files so that you have a base to install ver 3. I don't think that the average user has easy access to these files. Once I had them, it was a snap, following your advice. The Ovi suite did not update the application files, I installed ver 2, then 3 per your instructions, the Ovi suite did however update the actual maps once I had the application installed. 1k thanks and Kudos to you Jane!

Hi SkyRocker,

Woohoo! :P Glad my instructions worked for you. I have no idea why Nokia would seemingly stop the Ovi Suite software from installing straight from version 3, but I'll update my post with your actual example of what happened. Thanks again. :)

Sincerely,
Jane

I had to format my phone and earlier OVI maps worked just fine. Actually I was able to download it from www.nokia.mobi/maps/download URL. The maps version that I had before phone refresh was the lastest one.

I followed the steps and was able to install the maps but everytime I try navigation it tries to update traffic information despite of setting the traffic update to Manual mode. And the navigation fails with an error "No information available for this country (USA)."

I have Nokia E71x and I am just tired of searching for a solution for OVI maps.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

So finally found out that maps for nokia 6760 slide works just fine on E71X.

The filename is nokia_maps_3.03L_10wk22_b02_s60_3.2_rom.Nocs.sis for those who are still trying to install OVI maps on e71x.

Enjoy...
