[Resolved] Ovi maps stopped to work offline
 

NOTE this has been solved: see post #19. I don't know how to change the thread title though. Moderators are kindly asked to, please :)

Ovi maps worked offline until yesterday on my unit. Now, it doesn't - only searches for maps on the net.
I've tried to refresh the cities/diskcache directory by downloading the zipped regions and unpacking them there but with no luck.
Ah, and I have no windows machine for trying with the Nokia Maploader :D

I guess I'm going to find a Windows XP-equipped friend now... Or?

EDIT: can someone send me a zipped archive of his /home/user/MyDocs/cities folder? Possibly from an Italian device so that I get the maps I need? Thanks :)

I'm replying both for bumping, in search of an help, and for reporting that even if the maploader seems to download the maps, subsequently the device still refuses to use them offline.
Has this happened to anyone before?

Well, I used the Nokia Maps method and it worked fine and still does. So I recommend you to use that method. Go and find yourself a WinXP buddy :D

well as soon i got my phone i uploaded maps on my cell using map loaded with phone in mass storage mode as suggested on few forums but it always tried to connect to maps from gprs or edge.

I read somewhere that ovi maps 1 still doesnt support offline guess we may hv to wait till nokia realeases something for this.

Ciao Ernesto, if I've understood well you can't read your maps using Maps in offline mode, right? I can send you my /cities folder, but I don't know if this will help.

@torpedo48: thanks, it would be great. I'm still in trouble with that. I've found an XP machine and all, and it seems to update the maps, but in the end they are not read offline. I'm sending you my email address...

edit: could you also make me know if there are any files in your device under /home/user/.nokia-maps ???

I'm compressing it right now, it will take ages to send. Maybe I'll upload it to some online storage space (550MB, I can't send an email with such an attachment).

My /.nokia-maps is empty, by the way.

OK I've found the culprit: my /home ext3 filesystem is b0rked ;(
