Hi Eleanor,

 

I don't believe it.  The icons don't talk, but even pressing on them gets
nothing, so Hussein, care to elaborate?  I guess you have some useful vision
too.

 

All the best

 

Steve

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.
