N95 maps application changed post update

Options

10-Jul-2007 12:05 PM

Hi -

Having updated the firmware on my N95 this week to 11.0.026, and downloaded fresh maps, I notice that the layout of the Maps application has changed.

Whereas before I could find my GPS position simply by using a 'find current GPS location', (or similar - can't remember exact wording), this option now seems to have disappeared.

Now I am faced with the dreaded red cross next to the satellite icon and no obvious option to start a simple search for a satellite and locate my current position

I can find my position etc using the GPS Data option in tools successfully.

Have I missed an obvious way of locating a satellite in the updated maps app or do I need to fiddle with settings?

I should say that I'd used the Maps app with no issues - speed aside - before the update.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Chris

You need to be outdoors.

Yep. I was outdoors when I tried this. Can't see why Nokia disposed of the original method of establishing satellite contact in Maps.

One last thing - I'm reading that 12.0.013 is the latest firmware update - yet software updater, after initially suggesting that there is an update available for my N95 (currently installed is 11.0.026) then tells me it does not require updating! Confused (and not blonde or even blond)

Me too! I am right to say that 12.0.013 is the latest?

It is but it may not be available to your particular region yet. They release it in batches and specific to regions.

Yes - reading back through other posts it may be to do with my provider (o2 - UK); I'm going to look at this when I get home - problem is I use a Mac at home!

I'll have more time to look at at those AGPS settings there at least - the location of the settings described in that link you sent me sounds like it may be from an updated firmware set-up.

If you get any other ideas let me know - but thanks - you've been very helpful.

Cheers
