I purchased an E52 last year in Latvia, and successfully used its GPS feature in the Balic countries, in Russia and even in Italy.

But last month I moved to Norway, and suddenly... no maps available anymore

It gives the geographical location, but no streets or street names whatsoever. I thought it was depending on the roamning, but if I use a Norwegian SIM card, the result is the same.

I was using the Norwegian SIM card on another E52 that I got locally in Norway from my office, and GPS navigation was working perfectly, but this one just broke down so I have to use my old one purchased in Latvia.

I tried downloading the new Ovi, updating the phone software but... nothing.

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum!

If you had not downloaded maps for Norway to your E52 using OVI Suite > Maps then unless you had a data plan and OVI Maps was in "Online" mode no mapping would be downloaded.

There have been a few issues obtaining update if you are running latest OVI Suite v3.1.1.80 with release of new maps 00.01.26.113 over the last two weeks unfortunately.

I have not used OVI Suite, just downloaded the latest OVI Maps directly on the phone, from ovi.mobi.
I don't even remember if I have OVI suite on my PC... if I do, I guess I should stick to the older version and try to download maps with it?
By the way, when you say "maps", do you mean the OVI Maps software or country maps? (Newbie question )

These are separate entities so that although device may have version of OVI Maps application installed there is no country mapping data to go with it.

It is confusing as devices such as S60 5th Ed, Symbian^3 and Symbian Anna using OVI Maps v3.06 can use "Update" feature within application upon device to download maps directly via WLAN connection obviating need to utilise OVI Suite > Maps for this purpose.
