Apple Mac - How to update OVI Maps on device if No...

For Mac OSX users here is how to create a World Map from respective 351.zip, 352.zip, 353.zip, 354.zip and 355.zip with thanks to Chan1102, mistererikus and especially ovikovi
For use at your own risk whilst Nokia Maploader for Mac application continues to fail with the infamous 1b0.cdt File couldn't be uploaded , I might add after deleting your existing map data and wasting your bandwidth downloading new maps which you can't utilise to add insult to injury.
After downloading respective .zip files through links by ovikovi if using Safari in Mac probably to be found in "Downloads". You can leave them here (need to alter source in this case) or to follow instructions exactly drag them to "Documents" folder and unzip each here, giving you folders 351, 352, 353, 354 & 355.
Click on Finder > File > New Folder - give it name WorldMap.
For those unfamiliar with Terminal in Mac Snow Leopard ( Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal) I suggest that you open this screenshot MergeWorldMaps and keep to hand as "spaces" are critical in Unix.
Type after $ prompt cd Documents <hit return>
Type after $ prompt cp -r 351/* WorldMaps <hit return> nothing appears to be happening as running in background but returns to $ prompt after command completed.
Repeat with cp -r 352/* WorldMaps  as per terminal screenshot and so forth until complete.
You now have WorldMaps folder with contents folders 0 - 9, a - f as here 
World Map
On your Nokia device go to E:CITIES/diskcache and drag folders 0 - 9, a - f to trash and then copy respective folders from newly created WorldMaps  0 -9, a - f to E:\CITIES\diskcache.
Although I have created a World Map this procedure can be used to combine any choice of decompressed country/region/state as required.
Remember that you will also need to download respective continent indices to "ClientIndex" as detailed here 
Merging ClientIndex data
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Welcome to the forum!
You must first decide whether you want to utilise v3.04 available here:http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/software/maps_installer_3.04_10wk32_b03_s60_3.2.sis 
which will still leave you with issue of downloading map set 00.01.25.114 or you could install version from Nokia Beta Labs here: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-06-check-in-update by signing in with Nokia ID & password which has benefit of both using newer maps 00.02.42.122 which can be downloaded directly to 5800XM via WLAN using "Update" feature within application obviating need to utilise OVI Suite > Maps for this purpose.
You don't say whether using Mac or Linux OS but if you need any further help to use above OVI Maps v3.04 either for downloading map data, voice file or ClientIndex then please post further.

  • How to install OVI Map navigation for N95

    Ok, getting very frustrated with this now.  I have given my dad my N95 to help him get around but just cant get the map navigation to work.  I downloaded the Nokia Map Loader (I had to go to a third party website as the Nokia links were all broken) and have the map/voices but when my dad tries to use the navigation it tells him he has to pay.
    Obviously, I know that Nokia have now made these services free to complete with other company's devices, I'm just being stupid and not going to the right place to download them.  When i go to www.nokia.com/maps on the phone it doesnt do anything.  I've been trying for over a day now and the phone has almost made contact with the wall a few times - sorry to be a numpty, but how do you install the OVI map navigation stuff on the N95! :-)

    @Cowes67
    Let's clear up any misunderstanding here, upon N95 there is no legititimate way of obtaining free voice navigation with version of Ovi Maps upon N95 as you would need to purchase a license!
    You should run Ovi Maps application with a microSD inserted in N95 which will re-create necessary folder structure for Nokia Suite > Maps to recognise it.
    Please note that standalone version of Nokia Maploader apart from version for Mac users ceased to be functional several years ago.
    I still have N95 in use so post again if any further queries over this issue.

  • How to install ovi maps in N79

    Hi, I tried map loader 3.0 but all it do is to download maps from internet to the phone, but what I am concerned about is updating the maps 2.0 application itself to 3.0. Any suggestions on how to do this.
    I do not think I can uninstall maps using standard method as it is part of firmware?
    Thanks

    I'm actually having the same question but nokia maps updater is for updating maps, but what should i do in case if i uninstalled ovi maps from my device?
    Let me first explain abit what i did and what didn't work for me:
    I updated the original maps appilcation on n79 that came with firmware 11.049 through ovi suit application. then i decided to uninstall it and what i did is i removed it from add/remove system from the phone. i tried to open the old maps icon in the main menu it fails "can't open the following application. the newest version is under nokia.maps". i gave ovi maps updater a try but it fails to read data from my phone. so i searched over the internet for maps 2.0 .sis file and found it under the following link http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_Maps_2.0_4503_3.1_u.sis then i opened it with ovi suit. the thing is that the installation ends successfully but when i try to open maps application again from the menu, i get the same error as before and the installed version isn't listed in add/remove menu. i tried to reinstall the firmware, but it didn't reinstall the original maps.
    What should i do now? is the only way to format my phone and install the firmware again?

  • How to use OVI map for free?

    Is OVI map really free? I bought a 5800 XM last week. I don't have data plan. I have a problem with the map. I heard the navigation is free forever, this is main reason why Ibought it.
    When I set a place and select "drive to", it always ask me: "Online connection required to enter the shop. Connect now?" when I select NO, it will not work. It can show where I am, but don't tell me how to go to my destination.
    Could anyone tell me how to make it work?
    Thanks.

  • Problem in updating OVI Maps After updating E72 De...

    I recently checked the available updates for my E 72 Device & found the following updates available for the device.
    1) Device Software Ver 051.018
    2) Ovi Maps Ver 3.4(278)
    I installed the Device Software first successfully, but after the update I'm trying to install the Ovi Maps update but it fails and I get a message
    "Something Gone Wrong" - Couldnot install the applicationsvi Maps
    There was a problem with the software update service.
    Please restart Nokia Ovi Suite & try again.
    Tried every thing even updated the Nokia Ovi Suite to the latest Ver.3.0.0.284, but all in vain nothing is working out. Kindly suggest the remedy to resolve the issue.

    Although it would erase all data on device (need to backup) I would suggest that you reset E72 by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lockcode unless altered by yourself) and download OVI Maps from here: http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/downloads#/nokia-e72/ which you can always transfer to memory card and install it from there by finding it with file manager.

    Whats the real issue ? Do you want to regain Memory really or ONLY because OVI Maps cost lot of money (???) . Because with proper settings OVI Maps will be totally FREE anywhere in the world.. Refer this ..
    Maps should be pre-installed and set to Offline mode. Use only Integrated GPS Positioning method... and there should not be any cost incurred...

    Hi h0stel, 
    Welcome to Nokia discussions board! 
    I advise you to download Nokia Suite from this link: 
    http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/support/product/nokia-suite/
    Then connect your device to your PC and select the Updates tab and download any updates available. 
    If that does not help, please follow the steps below: 
    Perform a soft reset on your phone: type *#7780#. Default lock code is 12345. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up,  type *#7370# on the keypad. 
    Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have. 
    Regards,

  • Windows formatted iPod on a Mac - how to update?

    I am new to Mac (finally). I have a Windows formatted iPod (video). Therefore my iPod update button is grayed out. Is there a way to reformat my iPod to Mac? If no, what problems will this cause down the road?
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    To reformat your iPod for Mac, you need to Restore it on the Mac. (This will erase it entirely.)
    You cannot do a software update on a Windows formatted iPod from the Mac, which is why the Update button is greyed out.

    I can see available maps, and installed maps.

    All I find is like the old "map loader".
    But I don't find the "maps updater" stuff :-(

    So I had to install OVI Suite (whole suite just to update maps, space waste :-)
    But still can't find how I update my maps :-(
    MapsUpdater has stopped working. It was for updating the OVImaps application programme. The programme to update map data of various countries was Nokia Map Loader. Even that is not supported (or available) any more, but the old programme still works if you have it.
    OVI Suite can do both: update OVImaps programme and update map data.
    Markus
    PS I still prefer Map Loader to OVI Suite. Map Loader is smaller and you can load a whole continent (like Europe) at once. With Ovi Suite you have to load all countries separately.

  • Ovi Maps 3 don´t start after firmware update (6220...

    Hello!
    a few days ago I installed ovi maps 3 on my nokia 6220c and it works well. Later I updated the firmware from version 03.06 to 05.15.
    After firmware update ovi maps don´t start-> "Cannot open application. Install latest version from nokia.com/maps."
    But Nokia Map Updater says, there are no updates for my maps.
    What´s wrong?
    Can I reinstall Ovi Maps 3? Or is it possible to install Ovi Maps 3 new?
    thanks

    Hello!
    The Map Updater said: "there is no update for your phone" ...because maps 3 is already installed.
    But in the meantime I have found a solution!!
    I downloaded maps 2.0 from the German nokia page and installed it. Later I started Map Updater and could update to Maps 3 and now it works!!!
    I think the problem was: I first updated to Maps 3 and later updated the firmware. There was any older version of fixes included in the firmware update, so Maps 3 was damaged...
     thanks
    sorry for my bad English

  • Ovi map - My Position icon MISSING (N8)

    Hi,
    I just got my N8 few days ago. After updating Ovi maps to the newest version ( 3.06 if not mistaken ) I have noticed a few problems.
    1) My Position icon is totally missing, that means i can't locate my current position in gps. that's really bad.
    2) Gps cant lock even after a pro-long scanning time, moreless 30 mins anywhere. I'm using intergrated positioning. Red signal blinking, no data found.
    3) I tried to delete the CITIES folder and qf file, and reinstalled the ovi map downloaded, but problem still remains.
    I haven tried anyform of hard or soft reset  yet, as i found lots of people facing problems doing that. Is there any other way to ocmpletely remove ovi map & reinstall it again, or i need to do a reset ?
    I would like to get some advice from you guys on solving my gps issues. Thank you

    Some cars have coated windscreens which can reflect gps signals and this will slow down position fix. One way of testing would be to compare how long it takes to get a fix in the car as out of the car. I generally get a fix after about a minute.
    My suggestion if it is a windscreen coating problem would be to get yourself an external bluetooth gps receiver. They are very cheap nowadays. The advantage of using this is the external receiver is usually much more sensitive and you can also place them anywhere in the car to get the best possible signal.  I have a few of them. They work well and would normally get a position fix in seconds. 

  • Newest Nokia Ovi Maps ( 0.1.25.114 ) manual downlo...

    Good news
    About a week ago I noticed Nokia released a new release version of its maps.
    Last update I noticed was back around May 14 2010 with version 0.1.24.114
    Since about 16 October 2010 the version available has been the new 0.1.25.114
    Want to install updated Ovi Maps manually? Read on.
    This is for those who have trouble with Nokia's applications, such as Ovi Suite (or those that would just prefer not to use it).
    If you normally get your maps through Nokia's Ovi Suite or any other Nokia application and are happy with it, please continue using the same method as you normally would - the procedure below is not necessary.
    Minimum requirements
    * A version of Nokia Ovi Maps 3 (or later) is needed on the phone
    * A MicroSD card in your phone with enough free space (or a phone with enough free space if it doesn't use MicroSD)
    Upgrading maps to the new version
    1) Connect the phone to the computer in Mass Storage mode (not PC Suite mode). Alternatively you may find file operations faster if you put your MicroSD card in a USB card reader. Then return it back to the phone when you are done.
    2) Back-up your cities folder on your MicroSD card to another location (DVD, computer, external hard drive, etc). Just in case.
    3) Now go ahead and delete the cities folder and qf file on the (root of) your memory card. (Make sure the MicroSD card is in the phone if it isn't already). Now run the Ovi Maps application on your phone once (so that it can re-build the cities folder and its sub-folders, along with the qf file).
    Now you have a clean folder structure with no maps. Exit the application.
    You are now ready to manually install the latest Nokia maps!
    All files below are direct off Nokia's official Gate5 server(s).
    (Gate5 is a company Nokia acquired some time ago)
    Each continent requires both the map itself and the ClientIndex file (or files) for offline searches.
    Maps for every continent are listed below. Each continent covers every country Nokia offer.
    Asia map
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache (overwrite / replace files if prompted)
    IndexAsia (for searching addresses & Points Of Interest offline)
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex(create ClientIndex folder if necessary. Overwrite/ replace files if prompted)
    Australia/Oceania map (Australia & New Zealand)
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache (overwrite / replace files if prompted)
    IndexAustralia/Oceania (for searching addresses & Points Of Interest offline)
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex (create ClientIndex folder if necessary. Overwrite/ replace files if prompted)

    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache (overwrite / replace files if prompted)
    Index Africa (for searching addresses & Points Of Interest offline)
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex(create ClientIndex folder if necessary. Overwrite/ replace files if prompted)
    America map (includes USA & Canada & South America)
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache
    Index NorthCentralAmerica (for searching addresses & Points Of Interest offline)

    Index South America (for searching addresses & Points Of Interest offline)
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex(create ClientIndex folder if necessary. Overwrite/ replace files if prompted)
    Europe map
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache (overwrite / replace files if prompted)
    Index Europe (for searching addresses & Points Of Interest offline)
    Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex(create ClientIndex folder if necessary. Overwrite/ replace files if prompted)

    To download all continents requires an 8GB MicroSD card (or phone storage) with most of its space free. The cities folder fills to over 6GB on your phone with everything installed.
    Australia/Oceania and Africa are both relatively small (about 130 MB each) compared to Asia (about 1 GB), America (about 1.6 GB) and Europe (about 2 GB). Larger when the zip files are extracted onto your phone.

    United Arab Emirates
    You can download as many countries or continents as you please. They will be added to your phone with no limit and no restriction (as long as you have enough storage space).
    * Maps always need to be extracted to cities\diskcache
    * Voices always need to be extracted to cities\diskcache\voices
    * Index files need to be extracted to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex (create the ClientIndex folder if it's not there)
    Overwrite any files if it asks you (mostly folder structure and a few identical files). The rest is additions.
    It's as simple as that.
    United Arab Emirates is listed under 'Asia' in Ovi Maps, so you need the Asian Index file to search offline in this region. If you are unsure which Index file you need for your country, download them all; they are fairly small and it doesn't hurt to have them all so every country you might like to install can be searched offline.
    Good luck

  • Ovi Maps and Nokia Maps - do I need both?

    I am sure this question has been asked already but I cannot find it having spent some time doing a search.
    The question is do I need both or can I dispense with one? If so, with what consequences?
    The position is that I tried to update Ovi maps but couldn't because there was insufficient space on drive C, so I thought I would delete it and then I would be able to install the new version. Unfortunately wrong again - still insufficient space on drive C. Hence my question - do I need both maps? Life would be easier just with Nokia maps in the circumstances.

    Thanks. Can I take it that Nokia Maps is pre-installed? Would I be correct in concluding that I can delete Ovi Maps to save space and just update Nokia Maps from time to time?
    If Nokia Maps is not updated from time to time I would need to install Ovi Maps to keep up-to-date?
    I have I think deleted Ovi Maps but I still have Maps. In fact I am fairly certain I have all the maps I downloaded from OVi Maps. When I run Maps the screen refers to "Ovi Maps". Perhaps I haven't uninstalled Ovi Maps at all although the programme said that I had! Perhaps it is Ovi Maps that is pre-installed.
    Sorry but I remain confused and hope I can through this tread clear it up once and for all.

  • OVI maps locks when exiting 5800

    Was running 3.03 all working well then updated to 3.04 when I exited maps if I pressed the white button on phone it would show that maps was still running, if I tried to open maps screen would go black the only way to close it was to restart phone. I deleted 3.04 and this reverted it back to 3.01 but the problem continued, so I did a back up and then did a hard start (hold down green and red button and camera then start phone) Still did not correct problem any suggestions
    Cheers Bob

    I am not sure whether this will fix your problem but you can thry this once.
    1. Uninstall ovi maps from device and remove exitsing maps which are avilable in device
    2. Reboot device
    3. Connect device with NOS and install maps for 5800
    4. run ovimaps from device
    5. Download country maps and search now.
