I am copy pasting a message below sent by Harish Kotian, the moderator, on this group a few weeks back on how to use the OVI Maps.
Hello All As requested, here is the steps for Using OVI maps I haveused Nokia E72 handset with Talks v 5.2 Although I have mentioned Talks as the screen reader, The instructions holds good for Mobile speak as well. A) Preparing GPS 1 Go toControl panel, Settings, general, positioning, positioning method. It may be different in other models. 2 You may select Integrated GPS and preferably also Assisted GPS (AGPS) if available on your phone. This is optional and helps in aquiring sattellite signals quickly. If you have external blue tooth GPS, then you will have to select this as well. B Configuring 1 There are 3 folders which you will have to use. Maps, Landmarks, GPS data. Maps is usually found in the mainMenu and the other 2 under Applications. I created a GPS folder in my Main menu and moved all these into it. This becomes convinient to use. 2Goto Maps and select it. After a while Talks will say drive. Now press key1. 3 When Talks says Account, come down and select Settings 4 When Talks says Internet, connection online if you want the search to be done so. If you will unseledt it, search will be off-line. I have found, online gives better search. However, even off-line you get pretty results in searching for a place. 5 Network destination should be internet 6 Press key key 2 to return back to settings 7 Select Navigation 8 In both voice guidance for drive and walk select the language with street names. Initially, it may have to download it from the net, hence it is advisable to do when you have a WIFI connection. Else you will have to incur GPRS charges. For English, Hindi and Tamil, you may not need to download from the net. Sometimes you don't hear the voice guidance, for which you will have to raise the volume up. C Getting Started 1 You are now ready to go. Go to an open area, may be your terrace, balcony or window. A place where you can get signals from the sattellite. Initially, it takes a very long time to aquire the sattelite. About 30 minutes. Better use GPRS and try it with AGPS on. 2 Select landmark , Key 1 and select new landmark 2 Select current landmark. Once your GPS aquires sattellite, it will fill the Lattitute and longititude fields.Give it a name and save this position. Alternatively you can use the map or enter it manually. 3 Henceforth, you will select this landmark and press Key1 and select show route 4 After a while Talks says add new point.Move to GPS status. Talks says GPS status, no GPSNo GPS connection, No GPSposition. This means, your phone is awaiting signals from sattellite. Onceit picks it, it will tell you thequality of connection, like good, poor etc, the name of the nearest road and number of saeetlites. In case, you are traveling by vehicle and you want to essentially know where you are presently, This will keep refreshing as and when you change streets. 5 If you want to change between walk and drive, in GPS status, move your cursor right. Selecting will toggle between walk and drive. I have found by toggling this, the sattelite aquisition is faster. There should be no reason what so ever for this to happen, this is just my obseration. It may be coincidental. 6 In case you need voice navigation, you will press key 1 only after aquirig sattelite. Talks says, calculating route. Wait for a while and again press Key1. Press Key 1 one more time and Talks says Start driving or walking depending what you chose in step 5. Bingo! you start getting turn by turn navigation. Again, you can use the volume button to adjust the announcement level. 7 Pressing 3 shall give you a search box. I have found that this takes the distances of places progressively. So, if you select underground stations you can know the distances of the nearby busstations. Please don't ask me why bus stations are called underground stations. I have no answer for this <smile>. 8 To save your own route, set your destination, when you reach select save route and give it a meaningful name. 9 In the Main Maps folder you will find favorites and here you will find your favorite routes. Select it and choice drive or walk guidance. 10 In the search under the Main Maps, the search is very good. You can type a keyword and returns good results. You can also choose by category. This is for OVI Maps 3.03. This was fond on th Nokia web site. So for more information please see there web site. Pedestrian navigation shortcuts To save a location, press 2.
