I think you should have used the search-tool before starting a new thread.

You need to rename the .qf file in the MyDocs of your N900 to get this to work.

1. Connect your N900 to PC in PC Suite mode.
2. Browse to MyDocs and change .qf to qf
3. Disconnect the N900 and make sure Nokia Map Loader is not running
4. Connect your N900 to your PC in PC Suite Mode.
5. Start map loader and you should have to option to start downloading new maps

I can not download the Nokia Map Loader. My phone is not in the list!! thats why i create this thread :s

The N900 is.

You need to go down and select your language and operating system before you can download.

Hope that helps.

Also, if you're using this program, connect in Mass Storage mode, not PC Suite mode.

That´s the important point!!!

i think you are mistake. In mass storage mode Firmware 1.2 connect only external sd card. Internal flash memory usable only in PC Suite mode. I use Ovi beta Suite & last Nokia PC Suite and both of them coorect to load maps to my N900 strong in PC Suite mode.

We're talking about the Map Loader here. The Nokia Map Loader uses Mass Storage mode.

And no, in PR1.2, Mass Storage mode still mounts MyDocs to the computer, as well as the miniSDHC card.

(I'm not disputing that you use PC Suite mode to connect to Ovi/PC Suite. That is correct.)

Link no longer seems to have Nokia Map Loader.
In fact I cannot seem to find Map Loader anywhere.
Ovi Suite 3.1x doesnt seem to work either for loading maps.

Correction: Got it to work with Ovi Suite 3.1.
For some reason my PC's USB ports on the front of the case only work when the N900 is in Mass Storage mode, I lose connection when using PC Suite mode.
But when I use the USB ports on the back of the PC that are soldered onto the motherboard, my connection to the N900 is stable also when in PC Suite mode.
I could then download maps to the phone without a disconnection message.

The latest Ovi Suite can detect the N900 and it works flawlessly. Map Loader and PC Suite are deprecated, and make sure you uninstall the other drivers before installing Ovi Suite.

i get the 'cant find maps on your device' error with latest 3.1.1.78 version. what to do? i have umplugged it and started maps and let it reset itself but it still doesnt work

Re: How Can I Downloads Maps?
 

Sorry to dredge up a slightly old thread, but I'm getting the same "can't find the maps folder on your device " error when connected to OVI suite 3.1 (latest version ).

I've removed and recreated the cities folder, but no dice.

anyone else seen this and found a workaround ?

Thanks,
Joe.
