I got a dose of my own medicine, sort of, ... map loader keeps on "waiting for phone..." Yike! Solution reported...keep reading.

I read that map 3.04 beta is now available, although my Ovi map is working perfectly, I would like to try see whether there is any new improvement.

1) maploader is gone from USA Nokia site. Yes, it is gone. I finally found a link after going thru lots of run-around, and I have updated the link too, but it wont download. Bottom line, maploader is gone, at least today.

2) I went to my own backup, dig out my own copy of maploader, install, reboot, and got stuck with this "waiting for phone..."

3) When all failed, read the manual.. open up my own thread, this one, and followed the instruction, step by step, found out that one had to get USB-mass storage mode goes on 1st, before opening maploader. That solved the "waiting for phone..." problem, I was able to dl maps and update maps

4) I am now re download America 1.9 G and will see whether this is an update from Ovi Maps 1.01 (Maps 0.1.23.112)

5) I read another thread, recently posted, has quite a lot of similarity to this thread but credit was not given, I would call that internet plagarism. Period.

WinXP SP3
