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 !

  • My iMovie keeps crashing and will not fully load. What do you think is the problem?

    What would be the reason why my iMovie keeps crashing and will not fully load?

    I don't know what version of iMovie you are using, nor the Mac OS X version (that's always helpful when posting questions).
    However, usually when iMovie has the type of problem you mention, it's advisable to firstly trash the preference file. Here's how to go about it for iMovie '11 on Mountain Lion (similar methods apply for other versions):
    Go to your Home folder <your user name>/Library/Preferences (NOT the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD). Similar to Lion, on Mountain Lion (10.8.3), the Home Library folder will be hidden (unlike pre-Lion OS X versions). To access it, click and hold down Go in the Finder menu bar, then press and hold down the Option key on the keyboard - the Library folder will appear in the drop down list. Slide the pointer down to Library and, as you release the pointer, the folder will open in Finder. Now you can navigate to the Preferences folder.
    In your user Library/Preferences folder, locate a file named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist". With iMovie closed, drag this file to the Desktop. When next opened, iMovie will create a fresh preference file with the default settings (this happens in the background as iMovie is loading).
    If iMovie now opens and appears to be working properly, you can change the default settings in the menu item "IMovie > Preferences", as desired. Also, it's now safe to drag the old preference file to the Trash. Trashing the file will not harm any existing Events or Projects.
    Note that these instructions are for iMovie '11 (currently version 9.0.9). For users on earlier versions, the preference file has a different but similar name. For example, for iMovie '09 (that's version 8.0.6) the file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Earlier versions may or may not have a number in the name, for example, "com.apple.iMovie.plist"
    If this doesn't fix the problem with iMovie crashing, please come back as I have another possible solution to offer.

  • Windows Server Backup cannot backup to network or mapped drive - Microsoft what were you thinking?

    I still cannot believe that you cannot do a scheduled backup to a network drive in windows server 2008.  You can only do it to a local internal/external drive.  Microsoft are you crazy?  That goes against all best practices for backing up your data when you should have a backup at least 60 miles away from the original server.  Gives us back the NT Backup tool or provide a solution for this. 

    Your feedback is valid. This issue has been fixed in WS2008 R2.
    Thanks,

    That doesn't exactly help people who run windows server 2008 now does it?
    something so trivial that could be done in server 2003 with NTBackup and it wasnt included in server 2008? WHo overlooked that.
    Why can this not be fixed in server 2008 with a update or a service pack?
    Also, then why is it you can do a MANUAL backup to a network drive, but not a scheduled one?

  • 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 ; )

  • 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 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

  • 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 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 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.

  • Would be nice for Apple to create means for deleting email across all devices. Time consuming device by device especially for members receiving many emails. What do you think gang?!

    How about Apple creating a means to delete email across devices especially when you have like 4 Apple devices (Mac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone) Would benefit those of us receiving 13 - 1700 messages across the products. iOS 8 coming in fall. What do you think gang. Very frustrating and time consuming!!
