No Route

I bought an N95 for the navigation and have been let down big time. It won't find routes. I live in Australia, downloaded all the maps, boughy a license and still nothing. I reinstalled maps 2 and still nothing.

Nigerian GPS maps

Anyone know if there are any "good" Nigerian maps available as of yet? I work in Warri , Delta State and spend most of my time here. It would be nice to be able to actually use my toys most of the year and be able to plot offshore platforms and bases and whatnot. No sense in having capabilities unused

no gprs... - possible solution

Recently got N95, wouldn't connect to gprs - here's why...
Both times my partner upgraded his phone (N70, N95) he was unable to get a gprs signal and got message "packet data unavailable", even when it appeared that a connection should be there, and all the settings were correct.
The problem was that the phone needed to be activated by the network, before it would accept the connection. The supplier was unaware of this, and the 1st time this happened (N70) he was supplied with a total of 3 replacement sims, and the phone supplier was convinced it was the sim, or some setting that was not right.
Eventually someone who knew what they were talking about advised that the phone needed to have the facility switched on by the network provider. With the N95 he was able to tell the supplier to contact the network provider, and activate the phone's gprs
This may have happened due to starting a new contract.
Hope this may be of help to any of you who can't get a connection

Do you have voice installed ? you can install it the same way as you installed maps.

My good and not so great expereinces

I've just upgraded my firmware to the new 12.0.0.13 firmware by changing my phones product code, and by using the nokia upgrader. Since updating, GPS is working perfectly for aquisitions.

Previously it would take anywhere from 2 mintues, to 30 minutes to acquire a fix, always needing line of sight to the satellites, but now, since the update of GPS to A-GPS (Assisted gps using the mobile network for location finding) fixes took only 5 seconds at most.

Now for the down side, I subscribed to one of the many city guide books available via the software, found the one i thought best (london map) and then searched by category for the London IMAX cinema. It found the location very quickly (southbank, glad I knew roughly where it was), then calculated the route from my home in Crawley, to central london. The route seemed a little strange, avoiding the motorway next to my house, and seemed to take me via Kingston to get to central london. Still, journey time was about the same, and I do know of a good route via the same area in cases when traffic is bad on the ever popular M23/A23. So I set off, merrily following the very clear and precise guidance, the clear screen, and the sense of suprise as my ETA kept decreasing far greater than my presumeed distance from the cinema.

Imagine my horror, as we hit Kingston to find that our destination was only 1 minute away. Things took a turn for the worst, when we arrived at a train station just outside Kingston being told "you have reached your destination".

After a few choice words, and a quick google search to check there wasnt an imax cinema stuck on platform 1, I changed my route destination from the guides "London IMAX (Southbank) to just the Nokias destination of Southbank (London) to find a much more realistic eta, and the correct location.

The lesson learned, whilst the content from Nokia is good, triple check, and check again any information from either Third parties or Nokia to make sure your destination is actually where it is supposed to be. Someone from the guide I had used, obviously put a wrong co-ordinate in there data, and the result, my girlfriend and I being 15 minutes late for the Premiere of Transformers as the IMAX.

No Voice Navigation when connected to Bluetooth HF

When I have my phone in my car and it's actively connected to the Handsfree system, the voice navigation does not work. If I turn bluetooth off, which disconnects the phone from the car, the voice navigation resumes.

This is with the Handsfree Link system in an Acura TL.

GPS and powersaver

Hi all,

I need help, when I turn GPS on, just to see where I am at the moment, after period of time ( from settings ) screensaver kicks in. Why oh why, Nokia haven't make a option that when you charging the N95 screen is not go to powersafe mode. This sucks, because when you are not using GPS phone should go to powersave mode and when you are using it it should not go.

About this GPS not working, it will work but it might take a time even 5 min to find you, if you close it and open it again in the same place , it will find you much faster.
Just be patient

Various questions

Hi all,

I'm a little bit confused so I ask for your help:

1.- I have a N95 with the Smart2Go v3.0 application (V3.0 wk12 b02 OpenGL OpenBit MN). I see there's a new version v1.0 (not beta anymore). Is the version I have on my N95 newer or not?. Should I install it or not?.
On the other hand, where could I download that new version for the N95. In the smart2go website it is not available any version for the N95.

2.- If I activate a premium account (i'm thinking in only 1 year) and I upgrade 2 days later, will I still have the premium benefits or should I wait till the new v1.0 is installed?

3.- Nokia Maploader v1.1 is not available anymore in the nokia webiste (http://www.nokia.es/A4399558). Where can I get it?

Thanks for your help

Edit: I found the Maploader 1.1 version. Therefore only points 1 and 2 are missing
