New Ovi maps - too small?

I recently sent my phone off to be repaired, they couldn't and I was sent a brand new one in replacement (sorry, it's an N97).
I've just come to install the UK maps on my device and it's only 160mb. Is this right, since last time I installed the UK maps it was well over 1GB.
So what's going on here? Have I installed the full UK maps or has something gone wrong here?
I'm using latest version of maps, ovi suite and map loader.
Cheers!
Solved!

Hi alex79uk
OVI Maps v3 for UK has always been about 150Mb + Voice files and the whole of Europe 2.2GB. Nokia Maps v2 were much more wasteful of space though!

Install error : disk cannot be used to start up your computer [or] MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small

Greetings,
I am aware that this problem has been discussed, but in long and vague discussions that I had to sift deeply to find an answer. Therefore I am posting a clear message, as this problem can be very troublesome for someone who just received a Mac OS installation disk and cannot install it.
Situation : you cannot install/update your new system because the installer does not consider your volume.
Error message : this disk cannot be used to start up your computer.
Version française : Ce disque ne peut pas être configuré pour démarrer votre ordinateur.
Also discussed below error: "MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small"
Note : although this occurred with a Snow Leopard (10.6) install DVD, it can alo occur with Lion (10.7) according to discussions on Apple web site.
IF YOUR CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS :
- You are using an official Apple installation DVD of Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) [or 10.7 Lion] or an official download/upgrade of those systems.
- Your main Mac partition scheme is in GUID as it should be (check with Disk Utility). That partition contains a Mac system that can start-up.
- Your volume format is: Mac OS Extended (journaled) [the format should not be Case Sensitive.]
- You have the hardware requirements to install Mac OS 10.6 (Intel processor; internal or external DVD drive or a linked DVD drive; 1 GB of RAM; a screen controlled by your computer graphics card; at least 5 GB space on the hard disk or 7 GB if you install all components).
- Using Disk Utility, you of course tried the disk Repair Tool and the Repair Permissions tool.
- Your hard disk does not have a file called Backups.backupdb (if it does, this means Time Machine has once used this hard disk for its back-ups). Anyhow, if it were the case, the installation would give a different error message (with the word TimeMachine). This file may block the installation: Apple Support suggest to place it in the garbage, *without* deleting it, and placing it back on the disk later. Mind you, if you do not use this hard disk as such to save your Time Machine back-ups, you can simply delete this file.
HOW TO FIX :
1. Boot with the 10.6 install DVD (Tip: you can either select Mac 10.6 as the boot DVD in your Start-up Preferences or simply press down c during the start-up).
2. Above the install screen, you have a Utilities tab from where you can run Disk Utility. Select your hard disk and select the Partition tab. Resize the primary Mac partition (don't add a new one) by decreasing it by about 5 GB.
It will look like this http://i.imgur.com/jHTbr.jpg
( That image shows only one partition, but the same principle applies even if you have two or more partitions on your disk.)
Also see the official Apple how to: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926
Version française: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926?viewlocale=fr_FR
3. Commit the change by hitting "Apply"
3.b. If you get the error "MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small", this is a rare error where the partition that follows (for example Bootcamp) is slightly overlapping your main Mac partition. You will need to reduce that other following partition. Once you have reduced the other partition, you will probably need to return to step 2 and 3 and try again.
[ For example, in my case, I had resized my Bootcamp with CampTune software and it would seem that the file system ended-up somehow larger than the actual partition container. I simply asked CampTune to reduce the partition a bit (barely 2 GB) and that fixed it.]
4. Reboot, again into the 10.6 install DVD.
5. You can then install 10.6.
6. Once 10.6 is installed, use the Disk Utility on the desktop (you can boot into the primary HD at this point) to resize the primary partition back to its original or maximum size.

SOURCE (explaination for MediaKit error): some Apple discussion post.
nb: in my case, it was on a MacBook Pro (late 2008).

When I click on the icon for this drive, the warning message below states "Mac OS X cannot be installed on 'iMac HD', because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer." Obviously that's not true, since that's where the OS is installed.
How did you partition this drive, if you did that? Does it contain start up or utility partitions for any other OS (for instance Linux)? There have been reports that the "cannot be used to start up your computer" message will appear if a third party utility was used to create a 'triple boot' system or such, apparently because SL is picky about the format GUID partition scheme table info & how partitions are allocated space on the drive by other formatting/partition methods.
For some users with these partitions, the fix has been as simple as "tickling" (slightly changing) the partition size of some partition with Disk Utility, which apparently updates the GUID partition scheme table info so that the SL installer accepts it as safe to use with SL.( In this sense, the message may be trying to say the installer thinks the disk can't be used to reliably start up your computer with SL, not in general.)
See the discussions topic Cannot install Snow Leopard over 10.5.8 for more about this.

Disk Utility error "Mediakit reports partition map too small. 3TB

So I have a Mac Pro with a 3TB inside, but Snow Leopard won't recognize the whole 3TB. I can format it, but it only allows 801.23 GB. The remaining space is left as Free Space. When I try to resize the Volume, I get this:
I get this error: " Partition failed with an error." MediaKit reports partition (map) too small.
Can someone help me find a way to utilize the 3TB as it was intended to?

Anyways, i've made it work. My process was this:
Problem:
1. I put MacPro into Target Disk Mode to mount to my 2011 MacBook Pro. Disk Utility on MBP would only see 800GB.
Solution:
2. Booted the SL CD on the MacPro and ran Disk Utility from there. In the partitions tab, I chose 1 partition, and hit apply.
3. "could not unmount disk."
4. So I tried to partition it again, and it worked this time. 3TB Available.
5. I then booted the MacPro using an external HD with OSX on it to run CarbonCopyCloner to reimage my backup.
I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

E55 - NEW OVI MAPS - A LOT OF BUGS!

I have just installed the new OVI MAPS.. but it was better the old version
The usefull internal compass don't work!!!!! why?
Where could I set the AGPS option on/off?
I want back the the ovi maps 3.0 version!

Curious, I have not observed many of the issues you indicate.
0. Haven't had issues, but haven't really paid attention either.
1. This works very nicely for me. Switches to known WiFi when available and automatically uses 3G when not.
2. Have not observed.
3. Lots of apps are missing or don't work on S^3 - terrible shame.
4. It's a **bleep** app so don't worry about it. Half-baked junk, IMO.
5. Yep, it's bad.
6. No problem for me here. Entered Ovi credentials when phone first started up and haven't had to do it anywhere else or ever again.
7. Try Windows Media Player for sync. As for other issues, have not observed any of them.
Have not tried the rest.

Welcome to the forum!

New Ovi Maps: version 0.1.24.114 are out (!)

For those interested, I just noticed Nokia have just released new maps version 0.1.24.114
Prior to this they offered version 0.1.23.112
For those waiting on new maps, now is your chance to grab them and see if they offer improvements in what you are looking for.
I happened to notice the new version while loading Map Loader just prior to writing this.
Contrary to what I thought, it seems Map Loader reports the version of maps that are on the server and not the version of maps already on your phone.
Anyway, enjoy the new maps.
I haven't even downloaded mine but will soon

Maps confirmed working.
All maps are from Nokia's official Gate5 server(s).
Main geographic regions listed below.
I'll fill requests for the much smaller individual countries later on.
Just wanted to get this post out here quickly for those eager to grab the new maps (and who have enough storage and bandwidth for the bigger files).

Remember, you can always try to download your new maps with Nokia Map Loader / Maps Updater / Ovi Suite, too. The links above are only for those people that prefer to do it manually and/or can't get Nokia's software to work.
You will need version 3 of the Nokia Ovi Maps application installed on your phone (3.01 or 3.03 or similar).
If you have trouble getting it from Nokia, some of my previous posts have links to the map application.
If you want to start fresh with new maps, deleting the qf file on the (root of) your memory card along with the Cities folder is the recommended way. Running the Nokia Ovi Maps application once on your phone will then re-build the Cities folder and the qf file, ready for your new maps.
You will need to attach your phone to the computer in Mass Storage mode to extract & copy these files across. Most of these are large files (especially Europe and America), so it's only recommended for those that want major geographic regions (or the whole world on their phone). 8GB or more storage is preferred if you want all the countries that Nokia offer on your phone.
Enjoy Nokia's new maps.

This feature is certainly present in latest version of OVI Maps from Nokia Beta Labs:http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-06-check-in-update
Whereas previously only contents of folder could be removed, now "collection" can be deleted.

New laptop - cs6 too small to use!

I have just bought a new laptop with screen resolution of 2560x1440.
When I installed my cs6 software I found that it was too small to use!
Any help on what to do would be gratefully received - I don't mind if I have to purchase an upgrade if it enables me to use the software.
Would a second screen be any use, with a lower resolution?
Thanks, Judith

Hi judith uk,
Sorry for the trouble.
Photoshop CS6 does not support Hidpi monitors. We have to change the screen resolution to 1920*1080.
Please follow this Article from Microsoft to change the screen resolution: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/change-your-screen-resolution
Thanks,

New OVI Maps online? It's terrible!

What's the deal with the new version of OVI maps online?
It no longer recognises my favorites collections, and it's a lot slower now!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi Alracu,
I'm actually having this conversation on 2 threads & have uploaded a .gif on the other one showing the tiling effect.
It now seems that with the latest version of Safari, there is no problem. It loads quickly ( a few seconds) both initially and now after Log on as well. Therefore it can't be a bandwidth issue. Also, the previous version of Maps on the web was fine.
With IE8 & Firefox, the problem occurs on initial loading of the maps page:
http://maps.ovi.com/
Looking at the Error Console in FF shows no Errors but Many Warnings (pages of them). However none relate to the maps URL, the all relate to the discussion fora & are all of the form:
Warning: The 'charCode' property of a keydown event should not be used. The value is meaningless.
Source File: /t5/forums/replypage/board-id/navigation/message-id/31944
Line: 0
From now on I'll just use Safari when I want to look at maps.
Thanks for the advice.

N900 and Voice Navigation / New OVI Maps

s much as I love my N900 it is so frustrating to walk into a T-Mobile store here in the US and find that the simple Nokia Nuron has much newer version of Ovi Maps. While Nokia is busy launching voice navigation for the N97's and such, the N900 is left waiting in the wings. Does anyone have any news regarding when Nokia will again turn their gaze back to what is supposed to be their flagship device?

Not only does Nokia not support Ovi Map downloads on the N900...it also does not support Native Video calls and sending of photos/Video via MMS...sent a note to their support careline..and the reply below was what I received...:-(( This is NOKIA's FLAGSHIP product with 2 cameras and they do not support Video Calls....why launch a product with 2 cameras which does not do Video calls...Hope someone from NOKIA is reading this tread..don't launch products when it is NOT ready .... extreemely dissappointed...might have to consider other brands of phone for my next phone purchase.

Dear Mr. Chung,
Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
In response to your inquiry, by design Nokia N900 does not support video call feature. Nevertheless your feedback is valued for further consideration.
You may like to visit our website at www.nokia.com.my for more information and support for your Nokia device. If you have further enquiries, please write to us again or contact Nokia Careline at 1300 881600. We operate between the hours of 8.00am and 8.00pm, seven days a week.

Restart mobile after start new Ovi Maps in my N8

Hello ALL,
I have just updated my mobile phone (N8) with the last software version (Ovi Maps, Quick search uodate, Apps update).
Since then my mobile phone restarts when the Ovi Maps application is launched.
What do you suggest?
I thought this new version would improve my N8.
Thanks all

It does improve the phone for most N8's, mine included. There must be a problem with your settings. Nokia Care have has suggested you post c:\ovimapsinstaller.txt for analysis in case of upgrade problems!

Suggestion for new OVI Maps feature: Friend(s)

Hi!
I have a suggestion to make OVI Maps better.
I have seen in computer games teammates/enemies on maps or radars.
Hence I came up with a very nice idea:
Let's say I'm in a forest picking berries or fishing or just searching my friend.
Now why not have a feature, so that I can "pair" with my friend, so that both of us will have dots on maps, which will show friend(s) location...
The possible utilization could be by bluetooth or/and by network.
The problem I see is, that with bluetooth the connection usually ends about 8-10 meters, especially in forests. The network on the other hand will make data costs go pretty high. I don't know, if you can use phone as a wifi adapter, but that also has pretty limited range and is hence useless.
Now Iets post some ideas about how to implement connection between two (or more) phones. It will be very nice to hear

N97 and the new OVI MAPS

N97 sim free (on Orange), version 2.0 software. Updated to OVI maps, the free ones from this site. Installed ok.
When I open the app, it opens fine, then closes by itself after about 10 seconds!
Any ideas?
I have deleted and re-installed the software, I deleted the CIties file and QF files.
I am stumped!

Nokia Map Loader is a programme you can download to your computer, then connect phone to computer with usb, you can then download and install all the maps you need to your phone ( the actual maps not the app, this saves your phone having to download them real time, so navigation is quicker and data usage reduced)
And yes, I dowloaded and used the N97 mini version of maps before the N97 (classic) version was available.
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
you can also help others by marking 'accept as solution'
