If Nokia/Ovi Maps won't startup

Question

This problem is usually caused by corrupt map data.
To fix this issue, you first have to delete the current map data. Using File Manager, delete the "Cities" folder on your memory card/mass storage.
Then start up the Nokia Maps application and download a few kb of map data so that it recreates the folder and file structure required for the map data.
Finally, reinstall your map data and voices to the phone using Ovi Suite or in the case of the latest Betalabs V3.06, using the Update function direcly from the phone.
This solution has been known to work with V3 when it too fails to start. With V3, Both the "Cities" folder and the "qf" file need to be deleted. The remaining procedure is as V2 above.

Hi thakaran
If it wasn't for the loss of data I would suggest that you carry out a "hard reset" with device off hold down green, red and camera keys while pressing power button until Nokia "shaking hands" appears which will make your phone revert to out-of-the-box condition. This will revert to OVI Maps version pre-installed in phone firmware, you may need to delete E:\cities + .qf file from memory card. You could always download OVI Maps update directly:http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/software/maps_i nstaller_3.04_10wk17_b07_s60_5.0.Nocs.sis
