Nokia Map Loader Error in connection

Hi Guys,
I have an N80 and have the MAPS software installed on my phone and the Nokia Map Loader software on my Laptop. However, in order for me to download the maps I have to connect my N80 to my laptop in Data Transfer Mode and then run Nokia Map Loader. This should then allow me to download the Maps. I get an error when connecting to my laptop in Data Transfer Mode. It just says Invalid usb connection or something like that. No I don't think it is the maps software but I would like to know if any of you had the same problem before and how it can be resolved. I sent a note to Nokia Tech team to see if they know but it takes a while for them to get back to you.
So, does anybody know how I can get past this or get the MAPS downloaded?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

can´t connect nokia map loader, error, won´t work?
I had this same problem, found your post looking for an answer (lol), and I just SOLVED the problem ; )
First, you don´t connect in data transfer mode. You must use pc suite mode, or it won´t work.
Second, (and this is the tricky part), YOU HAVE TO INSTALL nokia maps on your smartphone (so far ok, we all know this), but then you have to RUN THE PROGRAM ONCE.
Don´t ask me why, but if you just install nokia maps, then try to connect with nokia map loader, it won´t work. You have to install the program then run it once. Exit the program, then connect to you pc (nokia map loader) with pc suite mode.
BTW, do NOT install nokia maps on your smartphone on the phone memory. ALWAYS USE THE CARD MEMORY, install nokia maps on your memory card, because the maps are so huge. Most phones won´t have enough internal space.
So this is it, no more suffering. Damn, I´m good ; )

The dreaded map loader error

Hi,
I've just gotten a new N95 8GB and am trying to download some maps to my phone. I have run the maps application on the phone and successfully connected the phone via USB in data transfer mode. The problem is I am getting the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred. Try again. Sorry for the inconvenience."
I've searched everywhere for a solution but without any luck. Sompe people reported proxy/firewall issues but I am running from a home connection and even moved my PC coonected to my phone into the DMZ without luck.
Has anyone been able to solve this problem or should I give up and keep what is left of my hair on my head?
grantonstar

I've been trying to get the maps via Nokia Map Loader 1.2.1. I just installed .net framework 3.0 and reinstalled with no luck either.
I've been using it with my home wifi connection but I want to be able to download a whole country so the map data is there for when I go out. Unless there is a way to pre-get a region or country direct from the phone?

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?

Using Nokia Map Loader With the E65

I bought an E65 not long ago, and I've been trying to figure out the Navigator program for some time now.
I've been told that the E65 navigator is an integrated version of Nokia Maps, but I can't get Nokia map loader to recognise that there's a removable storage card plugged into the computer (both an SD card in a card reader, and my E65 in data transfer mode.).
I don't want to use it as a full blown navigator, just as a way to view road maps on the go, so my choice of programs is limited to just Nokia Maps.
Is there a way to make Nokia Map Loader recognise the card? I've used both versions 1.0w and 1.1g but both tell me that there are no cards connected to the computer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi lordjaffa
Have you run Nokia Maps application on your E65 at least once with memory card in phone, to define folder structure required by Maploader on it?

Nokia Maps Downloader Error

Hello. I have an E-72. I was able to download the maps perfectly with ovi maps version 3.03, and then I installed version 3.04 beta but didn't like it so I switched back to 3.03. I cleared the maps using nokia map loader. When I tried to download them again, they all download except for Saudi Arabia (which I had before). I even hard reset my phone but still keeps doing the same thing, downloads and midway through, says "item: 52f40.cdt" "Message: File couldn't be uploaded. The file or folder might be in use."....and the Nokia Map Loader says: Download Error..An error has occured while downloading data to your phone"....and then Nokia Map Loader freezes. I even deleted the cities folder and re-installed both map loader and ovi maps. I'm using a mac if that makes a difference. Please help.
Thanks

Delete the entire cities folder and qf file on the root of your memory card.
Run the Ovi Maps application on your phone (it will re-build the cities folder and qf file). Exit the application.
Download the map you want.
Saudi Arabia
Now you must extract the contents of this zip file to your MicroSD.
Extract contents of the file to cities\diskcache (overwrite / replace files if prompted; it's completely normal).
Download the Index file.
Index Asia
This is for offline searches for the entire Asia region (which Saudi Arabia falls under).
Extract contents of file to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex (create ClientIndex folder if it doesn't exist. Overwrite/ replace files if prompted)
Now you need Voices.
See the Voices section of this topic
(you may also prefer to grab entire continents instead, which is covered there).
Disconnect the phone. Start Ovi Maps on the phone.
You should have it working.

Nokia Map Loader doesn't recognize the 5800XM

Hello, I have a 5800 Xpress Music and I have downloaded some maps to it from Nokia Map Loader.
Now it is not working and in Nokia Map Loader it waits for the phone (it does not recognize it) when I connect it through USB.
In Nokia Ovi Suite it says that the phone does not work with Nokia Maps or that the maps and voice guidance and corrupted.
I went to make a trip with my car and the voice guidance worked properly.
I tried to download again the Map Loader and it installed the “maps_installer_3.03_1”. And Nokia Map Loader 3.0.28.0.
I have the firmware 50.0.005 downloaded too.
What can I do to download some more maps to my 5800?
I have looked for solutions in the forum but I did not find them.
Thanks

It seems that there is something wrong with the files in your phone. Run a disk check of your card on your PC. It may fix the problem.
If it doesnt, you will have to manually delete the voice and maps on your phone and recreate the folder structure.
Delete the cities folder and qf file on your memory card. Turn off phone and remove battery for 5min. Reboot phone then open maps application. Wait for it to recreate folder structure. Then reconnect to Ovi Suite and redownload the maps.

Interesting facts about Nokia Map Loader 1.3 and 1...

Hi there, I have done some interesting tests yesterday after upgrading the Map Loader to version 1.3. First, I tried to connect my N95-1 (v.20.0.015) with a microSD card (4 GB) to my PC with Nokia Map Loader 1.3 running. The software asks to update to 1.2.1, then it tells my Map data is incompatible. Nothing new with this. Well I went to my wifes PC (with Map Loader v. 1.2.1. running) and found out the older version too claims that map data is incompatible! Well, then I changed another microSD card (2 GB) into my N95, formatted it, opened the Maps software. Now the Map loader did work OK. I could download maps and voices. I then changed my original microSD card (4 GB) back, and then deleted (with winXP resource manager) the folders "cities" and hidden "private" completely. After this the Map Loader (1.2.1) did work all right with this 4 GB microSD card. I downloaded the maps and voices I needed and now the N95 works fine. I haven´t, though, tried this with the version 1.3 yet. But you will find the version 1.2.1 from this Smart2go site: http://www.smart2go.com/en/help/maploader harrykaa

OK now, I have some more info on this topic now.
Firstly after having tried to open MapLoader 1.3 and getting the "uncompatible" message, you do not have to format the SD card.
Only delete the hidden "private" folder and the folder "cities". Then you go and delete the qf file from the root directory of the SD card too.
What is new is that I did this 3 days ago and then downloaded the maps with older MapLoader (1.2.1).
Now, yesterday I deleted folders and qf file again and found out that the new MapLoader (1.3) works too.
It even asks to update the maps before opening.
I did download the maps of the Europe with both versions 1.2.1 and 1.3.
But it was interesting to find out that Europe maps downloaded with 1.2.1 were 1,525 MB, but the maps downloaded with 1.3 were over 1,600 MB. So with new version you get more recent maps.

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

Nokia Map loader 2 hangs on splash. Urgent pls hel...

using N85, PC SUITE 2.0.262.0
tried reinstalling map loader many times
nothing happens..
i am going overseas soon. need this working urgently.. pls advise.

Hi leobox1,
The latest PC suite version is 7.0.8.2. So if you are not using this, then uninstall the current PC suite and download the latest version.
Next, go to http://europe.nokia.com/A4984199, to update both the Nokia Maps in your N85 to version 2 and also download the latest Nokia Maps Loader version 2.0.2
Note: If your N85 is brand new, you must use your N85 GPS application at least once before you can use Nokia Map Loader.
Hope all these helps........

Nokia map loader 2.0 beta

i've just downloaded the nokia map loader 2.0. one interesting feature beside the many added new features is that it recognizes the phone without going into Data Transfer mode. i mean i was able to use it with the Pc Suite mode.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

i am not sure that there is support yet for win 7 beta as it is in beta stage, you might not be able to update your phone. if you have access to another computer with xp or vista try updating via that computer and see if it works.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Nokia Map Loader 1 .1 for Mac not working on Mac O...

Hi to everybody. I'm very angry with Nokia support (is there a support ?) about Mac. I'm talking about Nokia Map Loader with N82 with Ovi maps . I reformatted my memory card, started Nokia Map Loader to download and put maps on my memory card and every time i get an annoying message "File 80.cdt might be in use". I read in the forum that many other users have this problem and someone has found a long and complicated workaround. But is it possible that Nokia hasn't solved this problem ?
We've been waiting 2 years when Nokia announced a Mac Ovi suite program which never has been released. Of course, my next phone will probably be an Iphone .
Please Nokia, fix it .
Thank you very much for your attention.

well, not i'm not trying anymore to format the memory card since as you read a friend lent me his Windows XP-based notebook to download them to my N82.
You won't need to use this method of merging map data upon Mac fortunately:/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/Apple-Mac-How-to-update-OVI-Maps-on-device-if-Nokia-Maploader/td-p/794472

If you want Nokia Maploader v2.0.2 to work then you will need to uninstall "N" Series PC Suite unfortunately.

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.
Cheers

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 !

N95 8GB Nokia MAPS System Error

Guys,
When I try to load the application on my phone, I am getting System error.
I still have a warranty. Do I have to service it or reinstall it myself.
Thanks

Hi denskits
Nokia Maps is pre-installed with firmware so perhaps try a "hard reset" after backing up essential phone data in case of software corruption.
As advised previously you could also check with Nokia Software Updater to see whether option to update or re-install existing firmware is present.
There is probably a more recent version of Nokia Maps v2.0_3204 available for your N95 8GB to download here, although whether it will install if problems with original installation is another matter:
