Search for POIs doesn´t work very well - BUG

I found lot of POIs on the map which I´m not not able to find using the search function. Eg. around the corner from my house is supermarket Billa, its POI is on map on the right place but when I try to search for Billa, I got no result at all! This is not only in this case but found more cases... How is this possible? I tried to search more POIs from the maps now and I found that I was able to find only this POIs from Lonely Planet, Michelin, WCities.. but none OVI maps own POIs. Other places like streets, squere etc are fine... Somebody with same experience. Note: I´m always online and all the maps I downloaded to the mobile.

You could give a more specific address to be tested by OVI Maps developer if having a map data problem. Where is this Billa supermarket anyway?

This supermarket is in Delnicka street, Prague 7, Czech Republic. You can see the icon on the map but you cant find it from search field.

Hi,

 

i could find the Supermarket you've mentioned.

 

try 'Billa, Prague, Czech Republic' on the offlince search (Map of Czech Rep. should be already downloaded).

 

there would be several results with the icon. And if you carefully scroll and see one by one. the Billa supermarket on Delnicka will appear on the search result.

 

Hopefully help.

Now I did exactly same as you did and I found it but as you mentioned only in the OFF-LINE mode, try the same with the ON-LINE mode, you cant find it

Yes i couldn't find it also in ONLINE mode.. there were indeed results of Billa Supermarket but only 2 appeared on the search results. I dont know what the problem is.

 

But i think it's better to have a more complete map data in Offline mode so that we dont get charge for going online to search.

 

Anyway, Nokia should fix this issue.
