Do you have the steps on how can I download OVI3 to my N900. Please!

i thought this just downloaded maps for offline usage...which is what i get.
i dont believe its OVI3.

U cant download Ovi Maps 3 and u can't use turn by turn navigation on the N900.

Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
 

But how do I download it????

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.

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...
