Nokia Updated Ovi Maps For Mobile-Fixed Installation Problems-Positioning In Ovi Maps Explanation
Sony | Mar 20, 2010 | Comments 1
Nokia has released a new update for the Ovi maps and it intimated it on the Nokia beta labs site. In this update they only tweaked the maps to improve stability and have fixed a number of installation problems. So if you have faced any installation problems previously then just try this one I am sure it will work for everyone.
Along with the news they have also explained “positioning” in Ovi Maps. They have replaced the “GPS indicator bar” from the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
positioning in Ovi Maps explanation:-
The GPS position is indicated with a red dot and the map zooms in to a certain zoom level to provide a good overview.
There is no visual difference between GPS positioning (picture below) and the WiFi positioning at the moment but we are looking to improve this in future releases.
For cell-ID positioning we show a halo (the red circle around the dot – as shown below). When you have a position fix and you don’t interact with the map, we pan the map to your position fix and zoom in or out to display the whole halo.
If you zoom in, the halo will get more transparent until it’s not visible anymore to avoid a full screen overlay of the map. When you zoom out, the halo gets less transparent to show you that the position is not accurate.
When there is no position fix or the position gets lost, there is a grey dot on the last known position (if there is one) and the “back-to-my-position” (top left hand corner) button is blinking. Also, you can see on the top information bar that it will display “Searching for position” – as shown in the example below.
