So my cities folder seems to have gotten corrupted. Ovi Maps wants to download content even in areas it used to display them before.
Tried Nokia Suite on a Vista laptop, endlessly connecting to server. Other functions crippled as well (errors when trying to access text messages/contacts/checking for updates, only thing that worked was downloading my photos)
Tried Nokia PC Suite on a XP and the icon just opens maps.nokia.com in a browser. No idea how to download from there.

What the hell??? Hopefully now that they sold out to M$ maybe they can fix their **** and provide working Suite?
Any way to get the maps back? Going abroad and data roaming charges make online navigation absurdly expensive.

I just downloaded a bunch of maps this morning. Possible solution:

1. Delete the contents of your maps folder (I think it is called ~/.cities)
2. Update to the latest ovi suite, now called nokia suite. Not to be confused with the older nokia suite.
3. Do a complete file system check on your N900 (/opt, /MyDocs, etc)
4. Try again.

5. ...pirate a version of sygic mobile maps and use that instead.

3.2.100 is 'connecting to the map service. Please wait while Nokia Suite gets the available maps and voice guidance files' but never finishes. Did you download through this? Will try deleting the folder, maybe this will help.

Yeah, I grabbed north France and Germany for a driving trip I am to take to Poland. That was this morning. It is not uncommon for nokia map servers to be borken, perhaps give it some time.

If that fails delete the whole folder, hopefully it will think it has never been run and recreate the whole thing again.

Also map loader in nokia suite can be REALLY slow sometimes.

Ok. Managed to get Nokia Map Loader (http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/...rSetup_ENU.exe) to work after connecting the phone in mass storage mode. 27% right now so fingers crossed
