Hi There..

With the trial I had with 3.0.1 I was able to use Maps and it's history. When I clicked to travel by car, set destination, I was able to select 'History' there.

The strange thing is, since I upgrade to 3.0.3 / FW40 (latest free version) the 'History' option was gone. Only Search and From maps are still available. I did a lot of navigation since the installation but the 'History' button did not came back..

At first I thought it was something with the software but I did a Hard-Reset (Camera+Green+Red) and did an update using SW-update. Still the same. I formatted my microSD card just before I did the reset just to make sure it wasn't the data on the card.

I also downloaded the Europe maps for offline instalation but this does not resolve the issue.

Any ideas? I could not find an answer on the internet. History accessible after upgrade from FW v31 to v40. Why is it gone on my Nokia 5800 Express Music (FW 40.005)?

Thanks in advance,

With kind regards.

Any ideas?

I've got the same issue, but I fould a way to access the history... Have a look at:

/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/E52-How-to-install-OVI-3-01-back-3-03-is-a-mess/m-p/631568#M18567

Possible, but annoying...

It looks like it's a known bug and has been fixed in an internal build, not released yet.

@ Mr_q

efforful wrote the right answer. from the main menu drive/walk->set destination->history.

[JTTXEuless]

History is NOT there in Drive>> Set Destination .. only "Search" and "From Map"

I am using 3.03.. perhaps you are looking at an earlier version?

[navio1973]

I am using ovi maps v3.03 10wk01 b05 for s60 v5 on my n97 and the history is where I wrote.

[JTTXEuless]

I have the same version, but no History selection under Set Destination, and I have done several searches.

That's strange, on my Ovi maps 3.03, I can find history in Drive>Set Destination, in fact I have four choices in there, History, Favorites, Search and From Map.

[JTTXEuless]

I wonder if I should delete/reinstall. Any thoughts as to other things to look at ... phone firmware version... installing to phone memory vs. mass memory, etc...

[chanchan05]

1. If you're running on the latest version for your product code and it states in the page on maps.ovi that your version is compatible, it should be fine.

2. Installing to phone memory or mass memory - you got nothing,. Nothing you ever do will make the map application install to anything other than phone memory.

3. What you should do first is go to Maps>Settings(wrench)>Map>Maximum memory in use. As much as possible it should be set to 50% and above. I have mine set to 70%. It may be that the phone is not saving history since you have already consumed the memory you alloted to the maps application. Also please check that it is set to use mass memory/memory card, as even if the application is saved to the phone, the maps advisably should be in the mass memory due to its size.Try to use it a few times and see if it finally saves history.

4. Failing in the above procedure, you should delete all maps, uninstall both ovi and nokia maps, and then delete the cities and qf files in the phone and/or mass memories. Turn off your phone and remove battery for 5 min, then reboot and install.

5. If the above procedure still fails, you may have to consider a hard reset.

Well guys, I am gonna throw a spanner in the discussion thread...

I am trying to delete the history on my Ovi Maps... HOW DO I DO IT?!?!?  There is not remove/delete function...

I have a N97 mini.

Any help really appreciated

Just a quick update as to my progress... uninstalling everything and reinstalling it worked.. I now have a history of searches. Thanks everyone... probably had something to do with a botched upgrade.

I would also like to know how to delete 'History' in Ovi maps.

QUESTIONS:

- How many history entries do non-touch (S60 FP2, like E72, N86, N85...) devices with latest Ovi maps store?

- Will they be automatically deleted?

- Manual deletion?

PROBLEM WAS:

What made things difficult was that the word HISTORY is NOT in the latest user guide for latest Ovi Maps for non-touch devices.

(I don't know or care about touch devices as I don't own one)

So Nokia, please please, update your user guides to include ALL options that your software has!!!

[chanchan05]

History will store the last 10 entries only. it autodeletes if you exceed more than 10 AFAIK.
