I got the same error:

The requested URL /mt?n=404&v=w2.9&x=4&y=2&zoom=14 was not found on this server.

The problem doesn't seem like it's just with the numbers but it doesn't use the http;/ That's the problem I have been having all along. Is there url correct?
Ah, I see the problem. The original URL that you posted was the "abbreviated" version that Internet Tablet Talk displays when you try to paste a long URL. If you go to the Maemo Mapper Repositories thread, you'll see URLs with ellipses ("...") in them, but if you right-click (or tap-and-hold on your Nokia device) and select "Copy Link Location", then the entire URL will be copied to the clipboard. That is the URL with the %d's that you need to replace.

FYI, the only problem with the URL in your latest post was the "version number" ("v=w2.9"). w2.9 is a very old version number that Google Maps deprecated long ago. The current version is up to w2.61, but since it's always changing (and since this hack seems to work), I recommend using w2.999. Specifying a greater-than-the-current-maximum version forces Google to use the latest version, and it means you won't have to worry about updating the version number every time it's deprecated.
