Ovi Maps confusions...
 

Ovi maps is so complicated... the gps never locks and it always ask for a network connection even if it's disabled...

Any advices are welcomed =)

i dunno what to say other than

sort ovi maps out , or someone get google maps going

Re: Ovi Maps confusions...
 

It's not really that complicated to use. I've never had much problems with the gps or a-gps in genreal, it usually locks and I have checked to see it switch between a coarse and fine lock.

Where I will agree with you is the network connection pop up. If I don't want to use a-gps, then if I say no to a network connection that should be final. I shouldn't need prompting again. If I want to connect I can do so later if I wish.

But this is only version 1.0 maemo build of ovi maps. I'm guessing that there will be future updates and we do have some ability to steer the update direction. Log a bug report or even add some comments to the brainstorming, hopefully it will get noticed.

Re: Ovi Maps confusions...
 

there are already a few posts where users complain about the gps capabilities of the n900 and the ovi maps.

and it is mentioned to wait for sygic to come. ;)

Re: Ovi Maps confusions...
 

I don't get it. What was wrong with Wayfinder anyway? If they simply had continued developing Wayfinder and making improvements and updating the maps, I think it would have benefited everyone in the long run and possibly would have been a good reason to continue supporting paying subscribers already using the N8x0 platform version too.

You are right, it seems that we all have to wait for Sygic... and let's cross our fingers for a free version =P

AND did you notice that north america is separated into 2 files ( which mean you have to pay twice ) ! Us east and Us west! I don't even see Canada in there!

Re: Ovi Maps confusions...
 

a free version?
would be to good to be true ^^
i read that it costs about 79,99$ a year.
(someone mentioned that's about 6,66$ per month - evil, huh?! :P)

Re: Ovi Maps confusions...
 

I will definitly try that asap, hope it's easy. Thanks a lot my friends!

Re: Ovi Maps confusions...
 

As I said elsewhere...


Any map application that involves you spending money should NEVER make me have to go get anything else to make it at least as useful as someone else's FREE turn-by-turn mapping application--especially when that same vendor's PREVIOUS generation mapping application was better than the current application in all those same regards.
