Bosun99uk,

I’m not sure how to locate those maps. I was under the impression that once you have downloaded any map, it is simply integrated into the application and works “out of the box”. At least, that’s the way it worked for me.

By the way, folks, here’s my Look at Nokia Maps 3.0 on the Nokia E75.

Hi Yomi

I use Nokia E61i, so i know i cant get the Nokia Nigeria maps for now.
But I seem to have a problem reading / finding the maps for other countries which i downloaded into my phone using using Nokia maps updater.
Pls assist.

Mafiana,

You do not need to go to a Nokia Centre if you have an internet-connected PC. In your4 PC browser, go to http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/maps/download to download the Nokia maps Updater.

Next: Install the Updater, connect your phone to your PC and launch the updater. Follow the prompts to complete the process.

Worse case scenario:if the spikes get too high, you could always use your mobile devices to shoulder the load; via Nokia’s MWS. Add WRT widgets and what not.

Though, you might need a programmer to rewrite their code to suite your purpose.

Soul. Thanks for the clarification. We have some serious publicity for MobilityNigeria.com in the works.

We want to make sure first that the server resources to handle such a heavy spike in traffic are in place before we give the site that kind of exposure though.

Thanks for the suggestion. Appreciated.

“” maybe you guys could actually make the site abit more public.. so there’d be like an AAS, SF , SG ,etc for Nigeria.

Care to throw more light on this? Cheers.”"

AAS – AllAboutSymbian.com
SF – Symbian-Freak.com / Symbian Foundation (symbian.org)
SG – Symbian-Guru.com
etc – Other mobile (or symbian) related websites (not necessarily symbian associated)

What i meant was that it would be more beneficial to most Nigerian (mobile users) online if knowledge of MN was made abit more public/open. Since you guys are technically doing ( to an extent) what the above sites do (coverage of stuff relating to mobility,mobile devices, symbian, etc) , but from a nigerian prespective.

Soul, I don’t quite grasp your suggestion, especially this part:

Yomi, maybe you guys could actually make the site abit more public.. so there’d be like an AAS, SF , SG ,etc for Nigeria. Even on google, search for keywords like ‘Symbian’ , ‘S60′ , ‘Nokia’ , and ‘Nigeria’ seem to have only your site popping up, .. well besides newspaper sites and blogspots.

Was actually thinking of doing mine too – put together an S60 blogger team,etc. But i think i’ll wait till i get a qwerty device.. maybe 5730xm.

Quite impressive site. Though i think there will be a work-around to getting nokia maps on other excluded devices – just to manipulate some code and firmware entries abit

Orji, Jimohesq,

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Nokia maps for Nigeria is available on only two phones at the moment – Nokia E71 and the 6210 Navigator. On any other Nokia phone, what you get is a bare-bones map application.

I’m not sure why they chose to go that route though. Really baffling. But until they make the Nigerian maps available on other devices, all non-E71 and non-6210 navigator owners need to look elsewhere for their mobile-based navigation maps.

Cheers.

I stumbled on a Nokia marketer in Abuja, some days ago, with a nokia phone connected to a wide screen, i could see the map of our exact location (Ceddi Plaza, Abuja)….

on getting to Nokia Care, they said its only available in very few nokia phones, and my E90 was not included, the await updates, so the said…

i just got off Nokia’s website where i tried updating the maps on my phone using the “Map Loader”, Nigeria is not available in the “Africa” section.

so i ask, why havnt they updated their online bouquet? ‘cuz its available physically in their Nokia Care Centre.

@Dayo:.. nice work here, more people should know about this “forum”……
