My N95 Hints, Tips and Help

Nokia made a pre-launch version of Nokia Maps available recently at http://mobilesearch.nokia.com/

They don’t mention the N95 as supported but there are some instructions for installing it that I found today on the 3g.co.uk forum http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/showthread.php?t=62157&highlight=nokia+maps

I followed the instructions and have the new mapping version running on my v12 firmware N95

There’s a nice preview of the new Nokia Maps software here: http://thenokiablog.com/2007/06/15/preview-nokia-maps-10-update/

Hello,

I found this site from somewhere (sorry I can not exactly remember where) for a free GPS mapping program that includes voice navigation.

http://www.amazegps.com/

I have it installed on my phone and seems to work well. I even navigated to my parents house which is out the back of Wauchope.

I have not done much testing on it yet.

Give it a go. It is free.

I bought the navigation upgrade for my N91 a few months ago and have now upgraded to an N95. The info below is relevant to anyone changing handset after they’ve bought a Nokia Maps smart2go or navigation upgrade

I had some difficulty finding out how to move the license between handsets as it’s tied to IMEI.

All you need to do is email Openbit support (Openbit are the payment/licensing service that the maps application uses) at support@openbit.com, explain to them that you’ve bought a new phone and want to “release your license”.

After they’ve made this change you’ll be able to upgrade the new handset by going through the purchase upgrade steps and entering your license code.

Just found a link on the web pointing me towards Messenger for the Nokia S60 V3 phones. Installed the Windows live app and I now have an authentic MSN Messenger running on my N95.
I haven’t tested it extensively yet, but it installed and ran flawlessly.

Looking for an international cell phone option for that big trip? Using an international phone is a great way to avoid communications headaches while you’re abroad. You can even use a satellite phone rental and get reception almost anywhere. So take care of your travel phone needs today.

Before you race off to install the new firmware be sure to back up all important data on your phone. This could include GPS data as well. There are some reports that the maps need to be reloaded after a firmware update.

A few people have reported that the Nokia software updater (NSU) now lists V12 firmware for the N95.
Not too sure on the list of improvements at this stage, so if you have any info feel free to attach a comment to this article.

After successful firmware update the details are:
V 12.0.013
19-06-07
RM-159
Nokia N95 (13.01)

A lot of people asking if this is available for 3 – N95′s here in Australia. The short answer is no.
