That is interesting, I would have expected it to have made sense to Steve then 
as Steve has a lot of experience with phones and technology in general.

  Hi,

   

  I can confirm this.  I commandeered an N86 today and even though I did not 
use it for long, Sahib's description made sense to me when I had the thing in 
front of me.

  Hi Steve.

   

  Go to www.nokia.com/maps and download the 3.03 release of maps.  Its not 
available through the SW update feature on that phone, so you have to download 
it manually.  Install it and you'll be able to use the software as per the 
instructions Saqib has provided.

   

  All the best, Ibrahim.

    Hi Saqib,

     

    This description is no help at all if you have an N86, since the submenus 
are not being read out.

     

    It looks to me as if maps is completely inaccessible on the N86.

     

    The only bit that is accessible is when you press options, you get Account, 
Settings and Support.  That is all I can get anyway.

     

    Thanks for a great effort, but it looks as though this won't work on some 
of the newer phones.

     

    All the best

     

    Steve

    Nokia Ovi Maps 3.3 main menu description. 

     

    This description is for the new Nokia Maps 3.3 main menu interface. 

     

    Usually when you open the application you are greted with the main menu 
which consists of 10 icons. There are two rows of 4 icons which are displayed 
on the screen and a further 2 which can be seen at the bottom left of the 
screen. The display almost looks like a 4-4-2 formation. For those who follow 
football will know what I'm relating to. 

     

    When you first open the Ovi Maps 3.3 app the drive icon is highlighted. The 
drive icon is located on the left of the screen, second one down from the top 
left icon. If you select this drive icon you will be presented with a further 3 
icons. The highlighter will be on the first of the 3 icons presented which is 
on the left of the other two icons. The first icon is called drive home in this 
submenu. Selecting this will prompt the app to start navigation to your home 
location. 

     

    The second icon in this sub menu is called Set Destination. Pressing select 
on this will bring up a accessible menu where you can select an option of your 
choice. These choices consist of History, Favourites, Search and finally From 
Map. The From Map is the 4th option. 

     

    The third and final icon from this Drive submenu is called Map. If you 
select this you will be shown a Map view of your current location. From this 
Map you can press select and you will then be presented with a accessible menu. 
The first of these options is Show Details.This will give you further 
information in text so You will know exactly where you are currently standing. 
For example a name of the road and the number of the property in which you may 
be standing by. Second option is Share location. Third option is Save Place. 
4th option is Send. I have now covered the drive section of Ovi Maps 3.3.

     

     

    My Position Icon

    From the main icon screen remember when I pointed out that the highlighter 
is stationed on the Drive icon in which I have described in detail above. Above 
this icon is the My position icon which is situated on the top left of the 
screen. It's the first icon in the first row of icons. To get to this you just 
arrow up once from the Drive icon. With in this map view you can hit select to 
bring up an accessible menu. These consist of Show Details,Share Location, Save 
Place and the final option in the list is Send. 

     

    Find Places 

    The Find Places icon is the second icon in from the top left next to the My 
Position Icon. Pressing select on this will bring up a search box. Once you 
type in your search you should be presented with a result of your search.

     

    Share Location 

    The Share Location Icon is the third icon in the top ro after the Find 
Places icon. You will have to create a Nokia account to take advantage of this 
feature. 

     

    Favourites 

    The Favourites Icon is the 4th and last icon in the top row. This is on the 
right of the Share Location icon. Pressing select on this will bring up the 
Favourites menu. The options here are Sincronise with Ovi, Places, Routs and 
Create New Collection. 

     

    Second row of 4 icons description 

    The First option in  this row  of icons is the Drive option. I have covered 
this earlier on in this document. 

     

    Walk

    The Walk option resides next door to the Drive icon. Selecting this option 
will bring up a submenu of three icons. The first icon is Walk Home. This will 
trigger the navigation mode and you will be ready to outtake your journey on 
foot. Icon 2 is the Set Destination option. From heare you can select an 
address from a previous history or favourites. There are also options to search 
or select from map. As the map it self is inaccessible I think this option is 
not applicable for the VI user. The final option in the Walk submenu is help. 
Sadly this is also inaccessible.

     

    Weather 

    The Weather icon is the third icon in the second row and this is 
inaccessible.

     

    Events

    The Events Icon is the final icon in the second row of four. This feature 
is also inacfcessible.

     

    Third row of 2 icons

    The third row which is the bottom row has two icons. Both are inaccessible. 
The first is called Loanly Plannet and the neighbouring icon is called 
Michelin. 

     

    I hope this description is a help to those who are using the application.
