I followed all steps but when I launch Maps, the app is greyed out, I can see the earth, then after few seconds app quits. Drive quits immediately. I removed Drive.ini, it didn't help

Unfortunately a few months ago Microsoft/Here finally turned off map server which previously enabled download of a few kb's of data according to your GPS position upon a new setup. Whilst further map data can be added manually to previously activated setup, it now seems impossible to re-commission Maps & Drive upon N9.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention and it seems I now need to re-word appropriate paragraph in "Sticky" at start of this thread to reflect this.

But Maps work fine in Nokia 700 and 6220c, I set it up recently (maps downloaded from web archive org).

but then I install Warehouse where I can't install anything because of double entries in repos

Activating maps worked for me by following the steps outlined in the first post and by using an EMMC image with came with maps (Alps)

I activated my N9 two months ago, servers were already gone.
Further maps can also be added of course.

I wish there would be an update to the maps. After using several other operationg systems and apps Nokia Maps is still the most fluent navigation app I know.

Everythings is mentioned/linked from first link of first post
https://wiki.maemo.org/Resurrect_your_N9

For flashing refer to
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693

You meed the eMMC image (full partitioning and content of MyDocs) flashed first, then the rootfs (OS) image. Or all together.

All!

Okay, for web (almost) all. There are lots of sites not loading/working anymore due to heavy usage of JS or expired certificates or not supported TLS...

mail should work for all accounts.
