ovi map loader - still not working
 

about the post in main maemo.org news..
nothing new is released for N900 officially. nokia map loader does not work.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

post is fake because it is no news: ovi maps loader has worked on the n900 since it was released.

abuse of caps in post title - check.

what the **** are you talking about?! try one more time

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

announced != released.

also, there _is_ a map loader version that works with the N900. you have to get it from the nokiausa.com site, don't know why it's only available there, but it works!

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

because n900 released in usa

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

you don't say... :rolleyes:

it's also been released elsewhere, but the working maploader is only on nokiausa.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

my map loader what i use with n97 as always worked on my n900.
i've not had to get anything from a regional site or upate anything.
all thats needed is a xp or vista machine

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

The maploader on there is identical to the one downloadable from elsewhere (I've checked file size & md5sum). It's the same Nokia Map Loader v3.0.28.0 which has been available for months.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

no, it's not.

i had to surf to nokiausa.com specifically, because nokia.de only offered an older, incompatible version.

that was 3 weeks ago.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

no map loader working at least for devices shipped to greece. either vista, xp or windows 7-crosschecked.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

Well, I've just redownloaded and it's still the identical file I got from Nokia UK site late last year.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

same here. give us a link and the release you have please.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

the map loader keep saying me that it's either an obsolete version of ovi maps, or that i've never opened it 0_0
they say to try in mass storage mode, and when you do this, they say to connect on pc suite mode...
WTF ?

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

yeah can you please post the link, the only think avaliable for nokia 900 is a firmware updater, thats the only software listed on nokiausa.com for n900

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

Well, downloaded it...unfortunately not work :(

Ops! take back my word....it does work...You need to put in a microSD card and connect as USB storage. :D

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

yeah it does not work another joke, keep up the good job lol

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

It took a few tries but it seems to be working. I am on a Mac and had to first plug in the USB cable, select PC Suite Mode, and then start up the map loader. It has been running for about 1.75 hours and is about 45% through step 1, deleting the old map files. It says it can take a long time and it means it. I will post more when I have some results, one way or the other.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

It works fine for me on XP - connect in mass storage mode and then launch it. Apparently there's issues on Vista and Win 7 though.

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

they removed the link from the main maemo page.. :P
so its not working 100%

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
 

No they didn't

Re: OVI MAP LOADER UPDATE - fake
