We had the same issues with Navicore and I asked them back in the day to host the files directly.
Here's an email I've just fired off to them:
There are many issues with the download servers which means it's very difficult to obtain the Wayfinder maps at the best of times.
Please can you host the files directly on your webservers like Navicore did here: http://www.navicoretech.com/Consumer.../en_GB/tablet/
Hope to hear from you soon.
Many thanks!

I also asked them if there are going to be updated maps. On their website there is a demo map application which has more detailed maps of Hungary. I hope I'll be able to download that map soon.
See the difference between the two maps here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...1&postcount=16

I asked WayFinder about getting direct access to the maps from their MyWayFinder.com site.
That site is available to PDA and cellphone owners to download maps to their PC, which can then be file transferred to their devices. They get an ID/password for the site as part of their software package.
I wrote a little over two weeks ago.. and it took them until yesterday to reply:

Dear Sir
Thank you for contacting Wayfinder support
We suggest that you use a wireless connection when downloading the maps, this connection should be as fast in the Tablet as on a computer. Unfortunately it is not possible to download the maps from any other location than through the Tablet.
Unfortunately the mywayfinder.com web page is a separate help page meant for the users of Wayfinder navigator that works in phones and PDA-devices. This page is not available for Wayfinder navigator for Nokia N810 Internet Tablet users.
Best regards, Wayfinder support

So they took 2 weeks to say what you already knew and stated in your email? Nice.

I had given up on getting any maps for this thing until you posted this link.
Seems that in all those failed IT map download attempts, wayfarer installs a Navicore license folder which allows the Navicore maps downloaded and extracted from this site to work on OS 2008.
Took a bit of extractin' and draggin' and droppin' to figure it out, but I didn't change any settings and have a functioning, complete set of the 49 United States and Canada. Can't drive to Hawaii anyway.
Thanks again!

Does anybody have directions on how to install one of the Navicore maps so that they work with the "Map" program provided with os2008?
I ask because it seems like a lot of people are having problems downloading them (myself included), instead having server timeouts and failed downloads. Is it possible for us to share this info without relying on their servers? Does anyone even know?
I realize this till blow over once all the upgraders get up to speed, but it would be nice to know for the future too.
