Map Loader question

Hi
I have a few questions about how to update maps and voice guidance data on my phone.
I have US maps installed on my phone.
Let's say they come out with an updated version of the US maps.
How will Maps Loader (s/w installed on my PC) know of the update?  Does the Maps Loader software on my computer automatically check for updates? I don't see any option for this.
Ok, let's say somehow I get the updated maps on my computer.
I understand that I need to use Maps Loader application on my PC to load the latest map data on my phone.
When I try to do that, why doesn't Maps Loader application show that I have a version installed already? When I open the Maps Loader app, it just shows what you decide to add on in the 'Selection' pane. Is there no good way of knowing what version of the country map you are loading or the version that is installed?
Also, is there a way to specify a name of a contact in your contact book instead of having to type out the whole address for the contact?
I have tried typing the name of the contact, but it doesn't like it.
Thanks in advance,
KG

Yes that absolutely sucks.
So I would have to go through the exercise of deleting old maps data, downloading new maps data and re-installing this to potentially have the same version installed (if there was no update)..!
This and the following 2 issues are making me hate s60:
-not being able to snooze alarm, calendar reminders etc. when keyguard lock is enabled.
-not being able to get driving directions by contact..., so if i have to look up directions to a contact's address, i have to first goto contacts, pull up the contact, lookup his address, remember it and then type the address in Ovi maps!
Also, i have found that if i enable to key lock with a speficied lock code say 4 digit lock code, when i try to unlock the phone with the lock code, it NEVER recognizes the very first digit press, so I actually have to key in 5 digits for a 4 digit lock code...! **bleep**!
And I don't know about other S60 phones, but at least on my Nokia 5230, the built in email client only has 'Download Headers only' option, not the full message...., so once the headers are downloaded, I have to click on the email and then it pauses for a good 5-6 seconds while it is actually downloading the content of the email...., and then another second or two to open the email.......!
Oh and not to mention, I installed Ovi Suite first on my PC, it wouldn't even sync Calendar and Tasks with my Outlook. I had to read/research and figure out on my own that this is a known issue with Ovi Suite! I had to remove Ovi Suite and install PC Suite and now it works...fantastic work Nokia!
Seriously, this is a popular platform? I fail to see why...

  • Maps Loader Improvement Suggestions

    Why can't the Maps Loader program be designed to show you what countries, regions, states, etc., you have on your phone so you know and don't try to download them again, or so you can delete some you previously downloaded, but don't use, to release the memory space for other uses?
    Seems to be a pretty basic function, i.e. being able to see what is taking up space on your memory card or phone internal memory.

    Hi, I have the following question - suggestion. I have noticed, that the maps on my nokia 6303i are outdated compared to online Ovi maps. Even if i download the maps using Ovi suite or Nokia Map loader, tha maps on my phone seem to be of an older date than those in Ovi application.
    1. Maybe there should be some version information of maps currently installed and those available online.
    2. The map update process should be availble for all devices supporting GPS navigation, not just for certain models. It is very frustrating to see, that the online maps have been updated, but you are forced to use the older maps...
    It may be, that I am wrong on this, but if someone has a better suggestion for my Nokia 6303i on map updating I will be very grateful for your help.
    SOLUTION!
    I have managed to update maps from ver0.013h, BUT WITHOUT USING OVI SUITE!!! I found some info on the internet suggesting to get the maps directly from nokia map servers. And indeed there was a new version available 0.0.14h (dated 22. feb 2010 - i think), which my OVI suit cannot find of course. I have downloaded all the regions i need and unzip them to "diskcache" folder and it worked prefectly. I used this link for info:
    http://blog.martinletis.com/2008/02/nokia-maps-download-links.html
    But replaced:
    http://static.s2g.gate5.de/maploaderzip/0.0.14h/[NUMBER].zip
    where 0.014h was the latest version and is the same as on the ovi maps on the internet.
    I have replaced NUMBER acording to region i needed: for example: Italy -123.zip
    Everything worked OK from then on. My phone: Nokia 6303i, using nokia maps 2.0.
    THE UPDATE PROCESS IN OVI SUITE 2.2.0.245 IS AWFULL (it says no updates available, where there clearly are), DO SOMETHING PLEASE!
    Off topic:
    Now I have to say, that i dont trust this ovi suite saying there are no firmware updates for my phone also. I have firmware version 9.10 and again "no updates available", however I read on the internet that there is 10.12 already available. Well there you see how reputation is gone...

    Hey nabil2u,
    I have same problem, im looking for map of Fiji but cant find it anywhere. I asked that same question few times with no answer. Now only thing that is coming into my head is that maybe some of those maps maybe are incomplete and small in size so its only available to download then over-the-air? Its quite puzzling. I really hope somebody knows anything more.

    Hello jamestw
    I can help you with the first question. I can say thats normal. I always get that message, but I have no problem with it.
    The other qestin might have to do with problems on the map server? Have you tried again? Try re-installing Map Loader!

  • A very strange thing happening with Nokia Map Load...

    I am trying to load new maps onto my x6.
    When I click on Nokia Map Loader it tells me that another instance of the programme is running and that I need to close that one down first.
    But this is not the case. I have no other programmes running.
    It mentioned that I might have the maps updater programme running. Again that wasn't true.
    I uninstalled both and started again.
    Same problem.
    I try launching map loader through pc suite. Same thing.
    I am really flummoxed and I hope someone can help.
    Thank you.

    Did you set up "hot corners" for Expose?
    I bet you have the up/left corner set for "Application Windows" then when you move over and have no apps open you get the warning noise. When you move slowly you just don't hit the corner to triger expose

    i have downloaded OVI Store & PC Suite software, but cant find the MAP LOADER software...
    Thanks and regards,,,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you have Ovi Suite, you dont need map loader. You can even install PC Suite. Its unadvisable to have them both on the PC
    Connect your device to your PC and Ovi Suite. Right click on the bottom where it says connect new device. Follow the prompts. Then select View>Go to>Maps. Select the maps and voice you want to download.

  • CGI map file questions, help !!!

    I am trying to use the CGI map file to open web reports. I got two questions at this time.
    1. How to refresh the report to reflect resent edits ? I used the CGI map to open a report. Later, I made some edits to the report and opened it again. However, the browser showed the report before the edit. I had to save the report to different file name and edited the key in the map file to show the edited report. This should not be the right way.
    2. How to open a report on a separated screen which is on top of the original one ?
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi Kate.
    As far as a find and replace tool is concerned, most of us
    here prefer using some tool such as FAR or BkReplacem as they offer
    more features to help in this kind of scenario. The simple answer
    is however that these tools, as indeed does the inbuilt tool, bases
    it's search on the HTML. Therefore if there are specific instances
    of HTML strings you will have to analyse carefully them before you
    replace anything. It sounds like you are already some down down
    this line. Take a backup of your project and test out your theory.
    As far as your map file question is concerned, you can safely
    reimport your map file PROVIDED that no changes have been made to
    the mapids in the meantime. Personally I wouldn't do this unless
    you are 100% sure of this. If it is a case of having 100s of topics
    that are not mapped and never have been but could be, I'd just
    create a new map file and map away.

  • Map loader / error loading catalog

    Hi there,
    i have a problem with the "map loader" and my Nokia 5800 XM.
    ... the map loader worked as i bought the phone some months ago. Everything worked fine. Today i had to do a reset. The map is still working, but i cant get the map loader to work.
    After the start of the program and sync with the 5800 XM im getting an errormsg (in german but im trying to translate).. "cannot load the catalog of the 5800 xm"
    Thats it. I googled whole day, but found no solution... so this forum is my last help right now.
    It worked (today) before i have done the reset so im thinking that its not my OS (Windows7 64bit).
    thx in advance
    Murt

    one more thing.. i have updated the FW today to the newest available. 50.0.005
    found also another thread here /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Map-Loader-error-while-loading-catalogue/td-p/624895/page/2
    might be an FW problem then?

  • Map Loader not connect to map server

    Hi there,
    i have a Problem with Nokia Map Loader. (it doenst matter which version, I tried . and 2.0 and 3.0)
    When i start the map loader i get this Problem:
    "Connection to the map server has been interrupted."
    I do not use any proxy.
    What is the solution of the Problem, i want to use my navigation on my Nokia e72 device
    kind regards

    Have you tried using OVI Suite which is now the recommended way of adding maps?
    Failing that as E72 uses OVI Maps v3.04 you could look at post by ovikovi to download maps directly: /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/newest-Nokia-Ovi-Maps-​0-1-25-114-manual-download/m-p/778870/highlight/tr​...

  • Unknown file format when downloading map loader?!?...

    I downloaded nokia maps from the nokia website and then nokia map loader but for some reason a get a message on my n73 saying that the nokia map loader is an unknown file format...can anybody tell me what to do??

    I assume you're trying to install the map loader on your computer and not on your phone
    If you can't get map loader to work, you could try this map loader alternative: http://nokiamaps.moo.no . You don't need to install anything for that.

  • Map Loader 3 doesn't see Internet connection

    Hi,
    I have installed Map Loader 3 on my XP Pro sp3 workstation that is connected to the Internet via a Workgroup Server running MS SBS 2003 Premium. Whenever I start the Map Loader application it quits immediately with the error message "Connection to the map server has been interrupted. Make sure that your Internet connection is working and retry ...".
    The workgroup server exposes a web proxy server (ISA 2004) that my browser uses to connect to the Internet.
    What do I need to change/adjust so that Map Loader can also enjoy this otherwise fine connection?
    Thank you for considering my problem.

  • Map Loader and Check In apps

    My 808 pureview crashed a couple of weeks ago and now both the map loader and check in apps are not working I get a system error on the Check In app and a map loader error message when I try opening that app. I've done a firmware reinstall to see if that would sort it but it hasn't. I can only conclude that the two files are corrupted. Can anyone help?if it comes to it I will uninstall the entire Maps Suite but there is nothing listed in the Uninstall Applications list to do this. Will I have to find the individual files and delete them? If so can anyone tell me where they are in the C directory?
    Thanks

    Check in has been discontinued since version 3.9.95.However you can get it by searching over the net via Google search. I am using it but cant give You download links since that would be against forum rules.

  • Map loader not recognizing phone

    Hi everybody;
    I have a new N95, updated all the software and have used maps at least once. Well, exactly once. After updating I went out and found a free WLAN and loaded the local map. Now back at my computer the map loader software says no medium detected please connect phone or card reader. My phone IS connected. This is as far as I can get since map loader shuts itself off.
    Ideas?

    Hi jp1159
    In what mode is your N95 connected to PC by USB as default mode is "PC Suite" mode when it needs to be in "Data transfer" mode for downloading regional maps?
