[Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

Hello everyone, the last couple of times i used maps offline, inoticed that part of the maps for some countries are missing, for example around Milan in Italy or Antwerp in Belgium. The maps for these countries appear as installed for offline use, and i cannot find a sane way of reinstalling them without removing all maps. Any help? Thanks!

Do you use nokia suite on pc?
there you see wich maps on device and an option to delete them seperatly.

Re: [Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

You mean the maps where installed but did not show? Interestingly I have observed something like this last weekend.

I was in Illertissen, Germany, an noticed that when zooming in the last levels didn't produce any additional map information as it should have. Roads clearly where cut off where the offending tile started. I have the whole of Germany installed for offline use so the data should be there.

How do you install maps for use offline?? I have installed maps for Texas US but I can not dp a search for Houston in offline mode.

Re: [Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

What are you searching for? POI? I was talking about roads.

Re: [Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

Last week I was in Berlin and had the same problem, the detailed vue was missing for a half of the city. I removed all the maps and downloaded them again, Berlin was safe!

Re: [Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

Exactly, there are tiles in the map that don't have detail below the main roads. In my case it was a complete band going from east to west.
I guess I'll try using Nokia Maps on the PC, but I don't use Windows so it's going to be a bit of a pain.

Thank you for your help everybody!

I've investigated further and when scrolling to the said location maps showed all roads as it should (I haven't reinstalled maps or something). So maybe it was a hiccup in maps application.

Re: [Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

I had the same isse.
Downloaded Estonia before going there to save roaming fees.
A big tile was missing below a certain zoom level. Made offline routing impossible in a big area, very annoying!
Later I connected to a wifi hotspot but I don't remember if I loged in to a Nokia Map page or tried routing once while online or not. After that the missing tile was available.
If it is not a bug, maybe it is an anti piracy feature where the device need to authenticate itself to activate random protected tiles?
I have no travel plans with my N9 in the near future so I can't verify this behaviour.

Re: [Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

I noticed this in the USA as well. Offline routing also seemed to fail because of missing map data. Once I did online routing the missing map sections reappeared. After PR1.2 I haven't seen it occur, except like the hiccup you mentioned - as soon as I downloaded a map, I saw blank sections on zooming in. Starting the app after a some time made the issue vanish.

Re: [Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

My phone did not want to update maps and I also had problems with routing not working when my phone was offline. Sometimes it found a route but it was far off from beiing optimal. To solve the issue I ended up manually downloading the maps and saving to the phone as described here: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Maps...ht/true#M28220

Btw, newest maps are .47 version. However, these do not work properly - I tested it on finding a route from Tallinn, Estonia to Split, Croatia and it suggested to go through Italy and using ferry to get to Split?!?!?

Therefore I used .46 version of maps that are working just fine and showing route close enough to the one that Google maps is suggesting and that drivers actually use to drive to Split from Tallinn.

Here are files that work:
All Europe maps (3.46GB), version 00.02.46.103: http://static.maploader.maps.svc.ovi...6.103/1032.zip
ClientIndex files: http://static.maploader.maps.svc.ovi...103/Europe.zip
*Index file is from ,47 version, however, works just fine.

PS! If you manually add maps these do not show on your phone map list. However, they work just fine.

Here is the topic were I asked help with maps and got to the solution: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Maem...ighlight/false There you can also find maps for other regions/continents.

Hi all,

I had the same problem that some tiles were missing. Tried to reload all again and found that again, different tiles were missing. So I seemed blocked and had to dig in ... and found a method to load individual map (country level), which also solves the missing tile problem (as far as I can see):

-so Germany misses tiles, on the highest zoom level.
-stop Nokia maps
-edit /home/user/MyDocs/cities/MapLoader/content.xml (save first to org_): remove e.g. <region id="120" name="Germany"> and all entries up to </region> or a <region id="120" name="Germany"/> entry.
-restart maps and you can reload Germany.

After this load the structure of "content.xml" changed for me. Only the new Germany region had still <TI ...> entries. So I suspect that loading multiple countries can cause the problem of missing tiles. Since I started my downloads alphabetical order I looked at Italy. And indeed it missed tiles. So I repeated the process and again for Switzerland. In both cases all missing tiles
appeared again. So for so good :)

Nokia Maps/Drive (N9) stumbles on map tile rendering
 

I recently got really annoyed, that Maps/drive on the N9 has some strange bugs related to rendering map data correctly. This gets especially annoying in connection with navigating as suddenly highways stop at a tile border and the routing fails due to that.

I have installed around 10 country maps for offline usage and sometimes (more often recently) I notice that map tiles aren't rendered for certain regions but only for certain zoom levels. I guess this is a bug... see following images for Italy. Have you experienced the same?

@zappAtom

Sorry for the ot, but watching the image I ask you where you are located (if you will share it). I'm from Bolzano, so maybe we are in the same region.

Re: Nokia Maps/Drive (N9) stumbles on map tile rendering
 

I was there only for holidays drivng through...but it also occured at other places in Germany for instance. For now I deleted my CITIES folder and now actually redownload maps...Would be good to know why this happens...I guess it is a bug

Re: Nokia Maps/Drive (N9) stumbles on map tile rendering
 

Hope this helps. My experience installing the last availlable update of maps:
finished / all maps installed, but then there was no maps in the device, so I had to install again about all the same maps like yours (and some more that was installed before).

This has been discussed in another thread, here:

Re: Nokia Maps/Drive (N9) stumbles on map tile rendering
 

Happened to me too.
Really annoying bug! :angry:
But as I am used to that quality level of software from Nokia I did not bother. Try the power search and you will find another thread about that. And iirc the solution was either routing once online and all occurences of missing tiles were corrected. But I amönot sure anymore, so if you find that thread or a solution please post back here.

Thread "Nokia Maps/Drive (N9) stumbles on map tile rendering" merged

Re: [Nokia maps n9] incomplete offline maps
 

thanks. I even searchedbefore posting but did not find the older thread. so seemsto be a stupid bug. Time for Nokia to give us another update!
