March 2013: I updated US Maps - it shows wrong town name but correct ZIP code

I had the Nokia USA maps installed in my C6-01.  It showd a lot of update and it finished with an error.

 

Then I realized that there is no US maps on my smartphone.  So installed it again via PC.

 

Now  it shows wrong town name but correct ZIP code

 

What should I do about it?

Re: March 2013: I updated US Maps - it shows wrong town name but correct ZIP code

If there was actually something wrong with US mapping, I would have expected this issue to have been raised elsewhere by now. Might suggest that delete E:\cities + .qf file, re-start Nokia Maps application to re-create necesary folder structure and try downloading your mapping again.

 

Should there continue to be a problem with this map data, you could always revert to a previous version such as 00.02.46.103 installed manually.

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

Hi Thanks.

 

If I do that, what will happens to my stored GPS addresses?

 

I have previously downlaoded all of USA maps - how can I uninstall it from the SD card on the phone. 

Surprisingly, when I expand the USA folder via Nokia Suite it lists all states and still lets me to download California maps - what is going on here?

 

Last time, when I was downloading Maps through a PC wirelessly, it showed an error.  I didn't know that all US maps had gone - not knowing it, I tried to go to a location and it didn't work and it was showing German maps - if it is a corruption, it happened then - do I need start all over again?  Then how can I still keep the saved addresses in the GPS (not the tel contacts) - you know there are two ways to save GPS addresses.

 

The only problem snce the update is all new addresses that I search for shows as:

1234 Emerson St, Santa Clara, CA, USA {note: Santa Clara is the county name and there is a city too - I entered Palo Alto and not Santa Clara)

 

Previously it would have shown as (exactly as I entered):

1234 Emerson St, Palo Alto, CA

 

The new display causing a lot of confusion.


Thanks for any suggestions.

If map application updated it defaults to address in Germany where Maps team was located which appealed to someone's sense of humour!

 

I have checked and get the same result as yourself, so whilst an irritating bug there is nothing wrong with your setup; you could bring this to their attention at http://mapreporter.navteq.com/

 

Presumably whilst in Nokia Maps you have synchronized with Ovi to save your favourites in the "Cloud"? Tap "Magnifying glass" > Favourites "Star" > Synchronise icon "middle icon at base of screen"

Thanks for the info.

 

I created an a/c to report the bug - but the system is slow and not userfriendly - it also keeps asking for a report # - but this is a new report!
