How to enter co-ordinates into Ovi Maps?
Hi all, this is hopefully very simple but i can't seem to work it out right now and Im in a bit of a rush (Im using these co-ordinates to find a meeting place tonight). I have been given a N and W set of GPS co-ordinates, how do I put them into Ovi Maps so i can view the location? That's all I need to do :)
By the way Ovi Maps currently shows my position as in the Irish Sea, which is worrying. I never learned to swim. Edit: When I googled I found someone asked the same question on Nokia support site in January however never received any reply, so hopefully that means Im not the only stupid one :) http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/t5/Ma...900/m-p/613695 |

Well I still can't figure it out.. :confused:
I'll go hunt out my old n95/tom tom to take with me tonight. If anyone knows a way of doing this on the n900 please leave a comment so I can try it out next time. Thx. |

I'm not sure if this will work Pre Leaked PR1.2 Maps, but:
Code:
Nokia-N900:~$ dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.NokiaMaps --type=method_call /com/nokia/maps/MapPlugin com.nokia.Navigation.MapPlugin.ShowPlaceGeo double:<latitude> double:<longitude> uint32:5 |

Unlikely, it could just be that the feature was added in PR1.2
I got that code by watching dbus-monitor, when tapping on "Show in maps" on a Geotagged photo, which is a new feature in 1.2. |

Oh well, another reason to look forward to 1.2 then :)

For shell calling via dbus
Code:
dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.Navigation.NokiaMapsProvider --type=method_call /Provider com.nokia.Navigation.MapProvider.ShowPlaceGeo double:<latitude> double:<longitude> uint32:0 |
