When you install manually, you just don't bother about the OVI maps application. Just open Maps once on your N900, then leave the app. From your computer, get to the link and download the maps for your country (the first ones, under ''The links below point to the map files on Nokia's own server.''). I downloaded the maps for Canada.
Then, unzip everything to /cities.
In which step are you blocked ?

The only risk of manually is that they might not be the current up-to-date maps. I'm not sure how you would check.

I just used the old map loader when I first got my phone, it wasn't straight forward but it wasn't hard either

ignore the instructions regarding symbian ovi maps. just download the zip files for the countries you need, and then extract them somewhere and copy them in the MyDocs/cities/diskcache folder.
I downloaded the Ovi Maps 3 USA map on adancau's link. After I extracted the files, I opened up the cities folder on my N900 and found it already had all the same files, and some extra ones. How come?

For example on the N900 under "cities > diskcache > 0 > 1" there are 7 items:

5a10.cdt
15db1310_s.cdt
15db5310_s.cdt
15db9310_s.cdt
15dbd310_s.cdt
15dc1310_s.cdt
1610.cdt

In the Ovi Maps 3 USA maps that I downloaded on my laptop from adancau's link, the corresponding folder "Ovi Maps > 0 > 1" has only two files:

5a10.cdt
1610.cdt

These have the same file sizes as the corresponding files on the N900. I never installed any maps on the N900. Why does the N900 already have all these files (all the same files as on the Ovi Maps I downloaded online, plus some extra files that aren't on the downloaded version)?

Map loader software does NOT work.

I have win7 64 and am running the map loader in XP compatibility mode and as an administrator, having also installed the PC suite.

i have tried connecting the phone both in PC suite mode and in mass storage mode, and all the map loader does is moan at me that there is at least one device already connected and to reconnect the phone in pc suite mode.

it's a bunch of bobbins!

what is the least toss method of getting offline maps onto my n900 for those of us without a working map loader?

cheers

First you have to delete the maps zip file in cities, then unplug the phone, restart it and it should work fine. Try to plug the USB cable in the back of your pc for better performance.
