how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
i tried install by map loader by mass storage mode and pc suite mode, but it seems like that the map loader and updater cannot detect the map driver in my n900, i used my ovi map 1.0 on n900 many times but its not sufficent as 3.0.
is anyone know how to install map 3.0 on nokia n900? thankyou |
Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
Maps 3.0 is not available for Maemo.
It's called Maps 1.0 because it's the first version of the Maps for Maemo. If you need a better solution for Maps, wait out on some third party software, or hope that Nokia addresses some issues in a firmware update. |
Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
It is odd though, as there is a loader directory on the N900 by default which would imply it should work.

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) |

Is that for certain or rumours?
I dont mind waiting so much if things are definitely going to improve, but I see no evidence that Nokia are going to make maps on N900 comparable to Symbian. |

The updated map data, yes. No additional functions as the software is still the same (Ovi Maps 1.0 for Maemo).

Has anybody managed to get the map loader working (downloading additional regional maps and voices)?
Map Loader says the maps application is not open when I connect through PC Suite mode and does not download the maps onto my phone when I connect through mass storage mode. |

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. http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/2...psunzipped.jpg 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. |
Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
thanks mate, worked like charm without using that pesky maploader.

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

No. Searchin location needs online, but you can set it manually on the map when offline route. yes, you can set route manually offline, as long as you can set point A and point B and press route. When offline, point B would have to be set on the map, not by search. If using Ovi maps has problem with connection, remove sim card and try. No. This is NOT a solution, but you can at least got a feeling of how it work. Without sim card, it would ask for connection only ONCE. Hope this helps, bun |
Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
i really like my n900 but the map implement should of been way better..I agree ovimaps are garbage & i want garmin back but they are not supporting maemo. what is the deal with forcing a-gps when i do not have a data plan i do not want to connect i want stand alone with ability to disable assisted. so basically useless thanks nokia. garmin can figure it out and use the same navteq maps nokia recently acquired and still manage to make horrible software. what gives ??? when do us n900 users get what we paid for? chumps.

I believe the link mentioned is for OVI maps v3, and N900 has v1 application. Will copying these v3 files worked in N900. I m asking this (even you mentioned that it worked for you) coz once I tried copying the v1 files manually. When I open the maps app, it caused the app to crash. :confused: Eagerly waiting for the response. ManiKanta |

i really don't get n900's ovi maps... if they're not going to let us search offline, at least let us save locations/places.

Re: how to install ovi map 3.0 on nokia n900 mannully?
This worked for me also. I downloaded the whole India map content. Thanks! :)
