Does anyone know how to get ovi maps on to my Nokia 5530? I believe it comes pre-installed on the 5800 but not on the 5530, but it seems like there should be no reason it wouldn't work on the 5800 too? 

I have tried using the map installer program, but it doesn't seem to recognise my phone. Is there an Ovi Maps SIS file or something I can just transfer to the device and install?

i dont think your phone has gps but you can still install google maps 

[lutin]

You're absolutely right, it doesn't have GPS. 

I could install google maps, but what I am looking for is the offline functionality of ovi maps. i.e  I could download a map of wales for example while connected to wifi, but when I'd be out and about, I could browse the map with no further data connection. I don't think google maps does this, but I think OVI maps does.

[radical24]

the only way that i know of that you can install the stand alone maps is via the map uploader. there might be some sis file 'gennie' out there in the google universe but i am not sure at all. i think that because your phone is not supported for maps it might not have the ability to just download stand alone maps, sorry mate.

You can install Ovi Maps simply over Ovi Suite. I didn't tryed Ovi Suite 1. But Ovi Suite 2 beta asking you to install Ovi Maps 3 to the phone very insistently. However Maps section itself doesn't work in Ovi Suite 2 beta yet.

Just updated to the latest version of ovi suite and whaddaya know - I've got maps! I can now download any map to the phone, just like the 5800.

Here is a tip how to install Ovi Maps on Nokia 5530. First download Ovi Suit 2. Then connect your 5530 via bluetooth on Ovi Suit.Then go Instruments-Upgrade Software.Will show Ovi Maps 3.0 and download. Then connect your phone via usb cable and install on your phone. IF U DON'T DOWNLOAD WHEN U ARE CONNECTED VIA BLUETOOTH AND AFTER CONNECT THE USB CABLE WILL NOT WORK> HOPE it will be useful. Give Kudos

no way. MUCH SIMPLER

On VISTA today -

just connect the phone to the pc using usb and make sure your sim card is inside.

it then updates and installs maps 3.0 after you accept all sorts of requests to install etc...

trom, do we need to upgrade the firmware to the latest one to get ovi maps to install?

Thanks

Installed Nokia Maps 3.0. I'm still on the original v11 firmware. So I guess no need to upgrade to the latest firmware to do it. Just run the software update via Ovi Suite and we're good! Cool! Now I can download maps via Nokia Map Loader! Which is what I want! Yeah! No more need to look around for Wi-Fi access spot to run Google Maps.

When people say they've installed Maps, do they mean that they now have an OVI map facitily on their PC software or they have actually downloaded a map on to their mobile phone?

I've followed the above replies and yes I now have the OVI Map download button displayed. But whenever I choose that option, no maps are available because the software says my 5530 isn't compatible with OVI Maps.

I've got the latest version (with free navigation) up and running.

Download the 5800 Ovi Maps software to your PC and then transfer it onto phone using "mass storage" 

Go to file manager on phone and run the installation file you just copied.

Start up the Ovi Maps application ( this creates a "drive" for the maps). Close it down and then turn phone off and back on.

Download Map Loader application to your PC

Start up Map Loader and then connect phone via USB cable using "PC Suite" option - this should work if you previously started Ovi Maps as above

Select the required maps (and voice if needed) and transfer them to your phone.

Next time you start Ovi Maps, everything should be there.

I think you need a bluetooth GPS if the navigation is going to be any use but you probably knew that already.

Thanks Marka,

That works and your instructions were extremelly helpful.

Thanks again

Can someone post the download  link for  5800 Ovi Maps software?

Thanks

I had Ovi Maps preinstalled, but when I tried to update to v3, it updated everything and said "Update Failed" at the end...

I'm still struggling with this.  Downloaded the maps program to the 5530, but it appears to contain no mapping information,  Obviously I need to dl specific mapping - UK in my case - but can't seem to find how.  Any help appreciated.  I'm a novice to these 'new' phones!

If you've got the (latest) Nokia Ovi Suite, go to Maps>Europe>United Kingdom. The first time you push the "Maps"-button, it will have to install some software, just wait until it's done.

If you haven't got it yet, go to http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/nokia-ovi-suite and hit the download button. After the installation is done, just do the same steps.

Can it use a bluetooth GPS device with Ovi Maps 3.0?

[HansNL]

Ovi Maps 3.04 works without problems with a seperate Bluetooth GPS receiver.

Maybe you have to unistall an older version of Maps before you install 3.04. Download everything on your memorycard

Hello, I have tried the procedure described by marka, but I wasn't able to install Ovi Maps. Allways got the error message "impossible to install, no acess".
