Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
 
What do you want to download ?
The maps for Ovi Maps 1 or Ovi Maps 3 ?
Because Ovi Maps 3 ! is NOT AVAILABLE for the N900.

Yes, how do you do this? If I copy files over, it wants to delete what is already installed.

Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
 
well i dont know about copying maps 3 data over but i did fially get the nokia maploader to work the other day.

i used the old pc which is running windows XP and had my N900 in mass storage mode.

the first few times i tried it didnt recognise the phone, but after a few tries it connected it and downloaded the data.:rolleyes:

it gave me options to choose different maps and also voices, so i downloaded the europe map and the english voices.
i now have maps version 1.01 on my phone.

what i dont understand is why it let me download voices, there dosent seem to be any option to use them in the updated maps version ?:confused:

I haven't actually done this yet (only just saw this thread today, which is handy as I'm going to the States from the UK on Thursday and would like all these maps offline)....

Bratac - I'm guessing that you're misreading the message windows is giving you when you try to paste more than one map pack on to your phone. As the folder names (1, 2, 3 etc) are the same, regardless of map pack you are installing, windows will tell you that you'll need to overwrite... Thing is, you're not overwriting anything - on Windows 7 I think they actually term it "merging" folders, which is all you are doing.

As an example, Spain will have a folder "1" with a file "Spain.map" in it. France will have a folder "1" with a file "France.map" in it. Say you've already followed the guide to install Spain and now you try to extract France, you will get an overwrite prompt. If you click yes or yes to all etc etc, you'll end up on your N900 with a folder "1" that contains both France.map and Spain.map...

Let us know how you get on - sorry if I've missed the point of your post but think this is what you were getting at...

Search the forums, it's perfectly possible to use the nokia map loader app, even on win 7 64 bit. I know this because I did it.

It does require some messing around with a USB thumb drive or hard drive and copying data back and forth, but it can be done and didn't even take all that long.

Went to this link(also given in the post)
http://handphone-solution.blogspot.c...0-without.html

1. Downloaded a map of New York from the link on the page.
2. Unzipped the map file, which contained these folders.

3. Connected the n900 in mass storage mode.
4. Opened the folder Cities\diskcache, which contained folders like these
http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2922/n900folders.jpg
5. Copy pasted the downloaded files(the unzipped NY map files to the above folder on the n900)
6. Windows popped up a message saying these folders exist, etc etc. Just selected replace with the new items I'm copying.
7. Disconnected the phone, opened up Ovi Maps and the maps were there.


Disclaimer: I have no clue if this is the correct way to do it. But it worked for me :)

BTW the website has better instructions than I gave here.

Edit: I'm running Vista 64, so had to use this method because the map loader didn't work with either the PC suite mode or the mass storage mode.
Just had a quick question. These maps downloaded from the page mentioned, are they the same up-to-date maps we would get when using maploader? I don't want to be using older outdated maps.

If directly unzipping into

/home/user/MyDocs/cities

I just don't see how overwriting the existing files is a good thing. Especially when unzipping multiple locations, overwriting must erase the previous maps????

So what does one do? I only have Linux so can't use the loader.

Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
 
I got maps for the whole of the uk loaded manually, deleted the contents of the cities folder before copy and it worked. This was months ago so I have no idea where I got the files from, but no problems yet =)

Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
 
Okay I can see that working but what if you want multple locations. The guy above seems to indicate it worked for him by overwriting but just can't be possible. I guess I will stick to just one map (UK) for now until someone can give clues on how to manually unzip multiple maps.

Does this copying method works with PR1.2? Also, where can I get these maps? Specifically for the US, Hong Kong, and Japan(if they have).

stochashtic 2010-07-06 08:10
Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
 
Worked on PR1.2 for me. Here is the link I used to grab maps:

http://handphone-solution.blogspot.c...0-without.html

Still haven't tried installing multiple maps manually. It seems only 2 or 3 files are common and maybe they are the same; haven't had time to confirm.

Guys, OVI map loader does work... just connect n900 in pc suite mode and run map loader on compatibitliy mode... I load maps all the time the proper way... but as for maps 3.0 is a different story

Is this the map loader within Ovi Suite?

If so, how does one enable compatibility mode as when I tried it this morning I was told that my N900 may not support maps or they may be corrupted. i.e. we don't like your phone.

Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
 
No. The Ovi Suite that supports the N900 is new, the map loader is somewhat older. I could not get the Ovi Suite to install maps but I could get the map loader to.

no, this is the stand alone map loader installed from nokia's site... onced installed you'll have to make the maploader run in "windows compatibility mode" for an older version of windows (via "right-click" then "properties".... connect n900 in pc suite mode, wait for it to completely connected to pc suite, then start the nokia maploader...be patient and it WILL read your n900 and allow you to add and remove all maps

EDIT: here are the links...
http://handphone-solution.blogspot.c...0-without.html (got it from the link below, talks about downloadin ovi maps 3.0, but not sure if it would work with n900, it might just be for symbian phones).

http://discussions.nokiausa.com/disc...age.uid=577739 (i thought they were talkin about maps 3.0, but it looks like its still 1.0, so my bad for that)


The link/blog """' http://handphone-solution.blogspot.c...0-without.html """" is not listed. actually it has been removed.
