Landmarks synchronization from Nokia E71 to Nokia Lumia 820 / creation of Landmarks in Nokia maps in Lumia 820

Good afternoon.   Have recently purchased Lumia 820 phone as upgrade from my old great Nokia E71.   Encountered a problem to carry all my Landmarks from E71 "collected" during 5 years of usage to Lumia 820.   When sending Landmark from E71 to Lumia 820 by Bluetooth somewhy Lumia 820 can not recognize / read received file / landmark. Are there any kind of  applets or other way how I can proceed using my old E71 landmarks at Lumia 820 ?

 

Also, can somebody guide me how I can create new Landmarks in Nokia Maps in Lumia 820 ?  Have investigated this issue though and out but were unable to find any solution so far. Please help!

 

Thanks & appreciate your prompt feedback as it is very pity not to be able to use old useful data.

Unfortunately there is no way to import "Landmarks" in form of .lmx, however any "Favourites" synchronised from Ovi Maps application via your Nokia account can be accessed provided Nokia Maps "Online" upon your 820.

If I've helped in any way, a click upon the white kudos star would always be appreciated.

Re: Landmarks synchronization from Nokia E71 to Nokia Lumia 820 / creation of Landmarks in Nokia maps in Lumia 820

Good afternoon.  Thanks for the prompt guidance. It is really pity that I will not be able to use my old Landmarks - endeed very strange that new Nokia phones can not support data from older models.  If landmarks (GPS coordinates, etc) can not be imported in lmx format maybe are there any chanse I can type them into my Lumia 820 manually using available GPS coordinates ? Are there any applets which I can buy to allow myself in Lumia 820 to use my old landmarks, say some Garmin applet, etc. ? 

Also, like I understand, Favorites (places) in Nokia maps are being "saved" only as postal addresses - any chance to "save" them as pure GPS coodinates ?  For example, there no use at all to track postal address of some place in the middle of the forest or lake..it is much more practical to have place's exact GPS coordinates - same, as older Nokia models have done.

 

Thanks & appreciate your help

 

With best regards
