Sir
I am not able to follow all the steps on my nokia N82 phone. I f somebody has
given a try on N82, please share the steps.
Particularly, after pressing show on map, dialogue about Bluetooth does not
come, however map is displayed with point on it visible.
Then, even after searching for particular key word, and getting a place,
options like drive to, walk to, do not appear in the options.
Only thing I could get was the route planner, which did not seem to be of much
use.
Regards

Hello All
Copying below steps to use the Nokia maps which was forwarded by our member
from another list.
I haven't tested it and hence I'll not be in a position to clarify.

Subject: Instructions for using landmarks with OVI maps
Hello all,
I have been following this thread for some time and I would like to share with
you how I use Nokia Maps. If you find that I am stating the obvious, then
please stop reading.
I have a Nokia N86, so the following all applies to this model.
In the applications list, there is an application called 'Landmarks'. I start
from here. Having opened 'Landmarks', in the options menu, there is an item
called 'new landmark,. It has a submenu containing 3 things: current position,
select from map and enter manually. You can enter your current position simply
by pressing the selector key here and giving your current position a name. But
a second, really useful thing you can do is to enter a position manually. When
you select 'enter manually', you are presented with a dialogue box where you
can enter various parameters. If you happen to know the postcode (or zip code)
of the place you want to travel to, you're away.
You can just enter this into the appropriate field, then give the landmark a
name (because this is required), and then press 'done' with the right soft key.
You then have that landmark in your landmarks list, but you haven't yet
selected it from the map. Now make sure that you are on the landmark in the
landmarks list and press left soft key to open the options menu again. This
time select 'show on map'. This opens Nokia Maps. The first thing that the
phone will say is that Bluetooth is switched off and ask if you want to switch
it on. I select 'no' here as I use the phone's internal GPS receiver.
The postcode you have entered for the landmark will now be spoken. Press the
selector key and Nokia Maps will search for it. If you have searched on a
postcode and it is successfully been found, there should only be one result.
If you have searched on something else, there may be a list of results to
choose from. Press the selector key on the result you want and you will find an
accessible menu of 'walk to', 'drive to', 'show details' 'save place'
'add to route' and 'send'. At this point, if you select 'walk to' or 'drive
to', you will get voice instructions from your present position to your
selected destination, but you will have to go through the above process every
time you want to make that journey again. So what I do is, having located my
destination on the map, I choose 'save place' so that my landmark will now be
saved with the map co-ordinates included in it. When you press the selector key
on 'save place', the phone will say 'save as' and it may come up with a name
based on what came up in the search. If I'm happy with this, I save the
landmark with that name. Otherwise I give it a more meaningful name of my own,
but always different from the name I gave to the original landmark. I then back
out of Nokia Maps by pressing soft key 2 for as many times as necessary until
the phone says 'landmarks'. I delete the original landmark as this did not
contain the map co-ordinates and retain the one which I had searched
for on the map and saved. This way, when I want to use the landmark again,
all I have to do is find it on the list of landmarks, select 'show on map' from
the options menu, press select on it (after answering the question about
Bluetooth) and then press the select key again to get to the menu for 'walk
to', 'drive to', Etc.
That all sounds very complicated when I write it down, but try playing with it
and, hopefully, you will find it works quite well.
Best wishes,
Brian.
