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 I have noticed, that the maps on my nokia 6303i are outdated compared to online Ovi maps.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...

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.

Nokia Map Loader suggestions... What do you think?

Herewith , I'd like to add my poit of views about using Map Loader and downloading maps to our GPS enabled handsets :
* Map version is shown as a small numbers that is not noticed by many .
* The program doesn't compare the map version it has to that one in your handset, so you don't know by default if you need to update .
*The program doesn't show the date of map release.
*It doesn't show your phone map details , so you may end up not knowing which countries are already on your handset if you forgot what you've downloaded.
*It does not worn you about already existing data ,linked to the feature above , you may also end up making duplications which consume you memory.
*It's recommended to connect your phone thru P.C.Suite mood before downloading maps as adviced ,however ,I found this hard to work with Nokia loader , and connecting the handset__talking about E71__by non compatible P.C.Suite mood, like mass storage will always work with map loader !
*When you download mutiple countries,the program shows the progress of the total value needed to be downloaded , there is no other line to show the progress of the country being downloaded and so on.
These are the drawback that i've encountered so far! anybody has some other comments or solutions? I'd be happy to hear from you .

Thanks for the reply ,
As a matter of fact I made this test before to check for duplication ,
I chose a random country__was Turkey__and downloaded its map on my Nokia E71, after that I chose it again ,it was again downloaded,and the left space indecates that it was reloaded again on my handset,& of course consuming memory space !
My experience is only with the current version of Nokia maps ,So if you are sure that new maps would replace old ones in my handset with no duplication , I would be glad to hear that !

Map Loader error while loading catalogue

XM 5800, latest firmware, Maps 3 installed and working OK. I get "Error while loading catalogue for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic" whenever I start Map Loader 3.
Uninstalled/reinstalled Map Loader 3 several times.
Tried suggested fixes of deleting qf and cities folder then running Maps to recreate file structure.
Tried it on a Windows 7 PC with PC Suite and also a Vista PC with Ovi Suite. Same error message.
I am left without the ability to download any maps except over the air as I go incurring data charges.
So I may as well just use Google maps!
I see in the discussion groups this issue comes up for many different Nokia phones occasionally but I have never seen a solution.
Anyone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just when I thought Nokia Care technical support knew what they were doing!!!!
About 4pm NZ time yesterday, after the Map Loader server had been working for about 3 to 4 hours and everything was fine. I got a call from Nokia tech support. I was on the other line so they left a message.
"Sorry, its not going to work because map loader is not completely compatible with Windows 7"
and my email support thread finally pointed me to a "Solution" discussion board entry detailing a fix for Maps 2. You had to download the latest version of Map Loader 2.02!!!!! That was really helpful considering we are on 3.03 and 3.0.28 respectively
So it all stating to work again may have just been coincidence and nothing to do with our support calls! :-<
Oh well at least its working. Now all I have to fix is the MTP USB Device driver failing.

Maps loader doesn't start from my PC Suite

I just updated the firmware on my 5800 and tried to start using the new navigation software.. it complained that I have old maps, so it deleted them. I updated my PC suite as well as the Map loader software. Now that I tried to start the Map loader from PC suite, it will only jump to a Nokia maps site and doesn't start. The previous version worked ok, but I guess it only gives my phone maps which are not supported. I've tried rebooting, reinstalling, checking updates...
Any suggestions how to get the Map loader working or the maps to my phone?

Hi. Go to http://europe.nokia.com/explore-services/ovi-maps/downloads-and-services , and download the Nokia map loader.

Map Loader Bug Re. Lost Internet Connection

Don't really know how to alert the programmers behind the Map Loader software to a fairly major software bug.
If the internet connection is - even very briefly - interrupted for even a second, the Map Loader software gives an error message.
BUT - big problem - the map selection CLEARS so you can't resume from where you left. Nor can you see which maps had successfully downloaded while the connection was active, so you have to download the WHOLE list again.
Please update for the next release.

D-Park,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
If you were using MAC filtering on your router, you would know how to fix this. If you do not know what it is, you do have have MAC filtering enabled on the router -- or you are not the router administrator. So -- don't worry about MAC filtering or go find the router administrator and ask to be let in (you will need the MAC address of the printer -- get a print out of the network page from the printer).
===========================================================================
Loss of network connection
Ordinarily I would suggest you reinstall the Full Feature Software for the printer because the installation can resolve a variety of ills associated with a disconnected wireless printer.
Install Full Feature Software - Printer
You did say the printer lost Internet connection -- this is a bit different from losing connection from your home network. You seem to be implying that your printer has lost its ePrint connection without actually saying you have lost ePrint.
The following document can help with both a disconnected wireless printer that is not cooperating -- even after you have tried reinstalling the Full Feature Software, for example -- and the document has a link to the ePrint Help and Tips documents that might help you if the issue is just one of ePrint and an Internet connection having to do with the printer and its connection to that service.
Wireless Printing Center
Take a look around at the sections -- you might start at the Troubleshooting steps and see what jumps out at you -- you might find your "issue" is right there and you can find the steps to fix it right away.

Can´s start up Map Loader 2.0!

The abovementioned solution hasn't worked for me! I have a brand new 6210 Navigator, and I'm using Nokia PC Suite 7.0.8.2 and Nokia Map loader 2.0.2
I've unsuccesfully tried many different things. Using Map loader v. 1 I happened to contact the server, but could only download "voices" (no maps at all).
Anyhow, the link is from Nokia Ovi suite, not from Nokia PC suite... I also tried the Ovi suite and didn't work either...
Everything runs ok but when I launch the map loader, it says "connection to server interrupted. Check your internet connection or try later" [[free translation from spanish...]
Any suggestions or ideas, please?
I have a trip to France and Germany next month and would like to use my Navigator there to find my way!
Thanks a lot

Non-navigable maps not downloadable via Map Loader...

It is NOT possible to pre-download the non-navigable maps, i.e. the maps for the 80% of the world's countries that Nokia do not provide on Map Loader. And yet this page suggests maps are available for over 200 countries: http://europe.nokia.com/A41407068 and here, http://europe.nokia.com/A41417046, if you select a region like Africa and click non-navigable maps, it just says they are available, but doesn't say how.
It seems they are only available as an on-demand download, like Google Maps, i.e. you cannot pre-download them onto the phone. And the maps also seem to be extremely POOR. Nokia need to clarify that you cannot pre-download the non-nav maps and they need to supply full, detailed maps asap for all these current non-nav countries.

Dont waste your time here is the answer from Navteq
Whom to ask in Nokia as advised by Navteq??

Map Loader Can't Load maps to 5230 on Mac OSX

When I start Nokia Map Loader application for dowloading maps on Nokia 5230 I get an error message saying :
The following errors occured while transferring files. If the error is not permanent, you can try starting the file transfers again.
config.cfg file couldn't been found. operation forbidden
config.cfg file couldn't been found. operation forbidden
I can't download maps on the phone because the region list is empty (it is not supposed to be).
This happens every time I try to use the Map Loader.There are screenshots of the same problem on another forum: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-map-loader-fo r-mac/bugreport/configcfg-operation-forbidden
Operating system is Mac OSX
Thank you for your help.

Hi all my experience with map loader is similar and I'm hoping for dramatic improvements to enable me to successfully load maps to my 5800MX, apols for the length of my post but I have just spent 12 hours trying to get MAP loader to work and have found and fixed a number of issues that I hope will help some people, I have also found a no of shortcomings in the software and am hoping for Nokia to take note and apply some fixes.
1. I got rid of the config.cfg error message by loading maps on my phone and changing the memory card location to drive E: I then waited for a satellite connection and found location, then connected to my MacAir running 10.6.4 OSX. Prior to running maps on my 5800 I had the config.cfg errors.
2. BEWARE that if you are connecting a phone that has not been synced using nokia MMT before or one that was previously synced but had the music etc deleted (like my 5800 because I formatted the memory card) then initially the NMMT symbol flashes as if it is working, BUT shortly after it will remain static and then the color wheel will appear when you float the mouse over the NMMT icon, this can give the impression of a complete software lock upand in my case only after 2 forced quits and reboots not altering things I decided to leave the MAC in this state , low and behold some 40mins later NMMT started showing a status of music and photo transfer . SO NOKIA please fix this your software appears to be totally hung but it is merely working so something needs resolution in my view as there really is no indication that the software is running and in "force quit" the software shows as not responding.
3. MAP LOADER, - initially upon loading map loader it reported "phone cannot have maps or is not compatible" however this was because my default memory card (on the 5800 maps, settings ,maps, menu) was C: and I had not actually re-run maps after formatting my memory card (see note 1 and 2) . Changing the default memory location in maps on the phone to E: allowed map loader to run. Then I had an issue that the map regions were not showing in the left column, the software simply showed nothing and I had nothing to drag into my phone for upload. This was resolved by getting a faster internet connection. Internet Speed and Reliability - Now (still not resolved) I have a faster internet connection I have loaded MAP loader and have dragged all of the relevant maps to the right. I click on upload/download maps and the software stars the download process but takes an eternity to download maps, last night I left the software for 7 hours and still no maps were downloaded, In addition to this I have to leave my phone connected to my MACAIR the whole time I am attempting to download, so I can't even download maps from nokia and upload them to my phone at a later date. I think this is due to my internet connection speed but I am using bittorrent to frequently download torrents which works fine so it cannot be that bad. So MY REQUEST to NOKIA software development for MAP LOADER is can we please have some software that is designed to run on an internet connection that is less than 500K (it looks like you developed it on a 1GB LAN connection). IE why do I have to connect my phone for MAP loader to start in the first place OR Can't you put an option in the SW to allow the Nokia phone to be disconnected after downloading commences (ie if this is a licensing issue) so I can freely use my phone whilst maps are downloaded on my MACBOOK when Im not in the office ? Could you employ a capability like bittorrent in the downloader so we can download in portions when we have access to the internet ? Why is your MAP loader so slow ? IE I happily download 100M updates to MACOSX and ITUNES over these internet connections but MAP LOADER just WONT WORK, OR works so slowly and cannot recover from slow internet connection states that it is unusable ?
4. As I have a MACAIR I only have one USB port so was hoping to connect my 5800 with Bluetooth so I can run maploader whist I am connected to my USB mobile internet. Unfortunately I was unable to get the MAP loader to recognize my 5800 via bluetooth , I loaded the software , chose use bluetooth and it continually searched with no connection found. This is despite me having the devices paired, I have used bluetooth connections for both isnc (calendar and contacts sync works fine) and for NMMT. NMMT recognized the 5800 bluetooth connection in the dropdown menu but MAP LOADER completely failed to recognize it. NOKIA please allow a BT connection with the nokia 5800 so I can run this combination, OR simply allow me to disconnect my phone whilst I am on the internet downloading my maps, then once maps are on my local MACdrive I can just disconnect from the internet and uploads maps to my phone.
That's it, in short MAP Loader for MACOSX 10.6.4 seems unworkable in its current form unless your connected to an 8M internet connection or the Nokia development LAN. Please fix ASAP

Map Loader doesn't work at all!

I have read on the forum that you can load down maps to your N95 with Map Loader to avoid traffic costs.
I failed to do it regards many try.
I have a HP PC with Vista Business. I begin with upgrade of PC Suit on it (6.84) and I updated Maps software on N95. I downloaded Map Loader from Nokia Site (1.2) and started it. I get a message that I should use GPS once before I use Map Loader. So I did it and drive a bit of road with it. It worked pretty well, I didn’t try voice guides yet.
Thereafter I connect N95 by USB cable in memory mode to my PC and started Map Loader. I get the warnings screen as usual and after I choose OK I get error message, something like that: Unexpected error occurred, sorry for inconvenience, try again later!
I tried all I could without success, please help before I’ll get creasy :-)

You simply have to put your phone into the correct mode.
Connect your phone and select mass storage (NOT PC Suite). Start map loader and it will download direct to your card.Message Edited by selintra on 01-Oct-200709:22 PM
Thank You for your concern!
I have read very carefully the error message, be sure of it. The problem was that when I connected my N95 via USB I get the choice: PC Suite mode or Mass storage mode and I choose Mass storage mode, precisely as you have suggested it. But it did not work! I was frustrated as I said before.
But it says DATA TRANSFER MODE, not Mass storage mode, doesn’t it?
I red the other post in this forum which describe how you put your USB connection port on your phone in to this mode.
Go to Tools > Settings > Connection > USB > USB mode = Data transfer
I did it and EUREKA! It works  And more! Now when I connect my N95 to USB port it ask me if I want connect it in DATA TRANSFER mode or not!
I do not know why it didn’t do it before, but that was my problem!

Where is country´s map in new map loader?

i just download nokia map loader version 1.3.there i can´t find any any map there.just there show voices.from where i can download map?

Hi,
That version seems not to be working apart from the Voices. I suggest download the Nokia Beta Labs PC Suite, upon download selection of applications, select the new "Map Loader" application and download/install it. Use it instead of your updated version. Worked for me.

Map loader with PC Suite

Ovi is not working on my PC. Where do I find the Map Loader for PC Suite?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you open Nokia PC Suite, you should have 13 apps showing. Click on No 13 which is on it's own in the bottom row and that will open up the Map Loader.
The above only works if you already have Map Loader installed. If not installed, clicking on the "Maps" in PC Suite just takes you to Nokia's Ovi Suite download web-page.
PS: I suggest you Google for Map Loader 3.0.24.0 or 3.0.28.0 and install it. I'll use it as long as it works .. as I'm not in a rush to change fro PC Suite to Ovi Suiote, which is too demanding for some of my old hardware...

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

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...
