Hi all: As requested by few AI members, I downloaded the data for ovi maps day before using the map loader software in my computer. I connected a nokia c5 for the purpose, so believe as earlier it should work with ovi maps 3.03 & 3.04. The data shared an year ago was also reported to work with version 3.01. If someone experiments by using it with other versions, do share the results.
Map downloader is inaccessible with jaws, and the data is free to use, so sharing this with all. Download link for the data: http://www.sendspace.com/file/j6tn10 Its a 254 MB .zip file called 'Ovi maps 3.03, 3.04 data for India 12 April 2012.zip'. Unzipping it would give you a folder of 311 MB. Sometime ago, I also downloaded 10 voices for the same versions which too are free. These have English (all), Hindi, Urdu voices and the beeps only option. Download link for the voices folder (zip file of 35 MB): http://www.sendspace.com/file/uaj9ud For those who would not know its utility and how to use it, having the map data offline in the phone not only saves GPRS costs, but also the map software responds faster during navigation etc. How to use: 1. Make sure the phone has the suggested Ovi Maps version. In few phones I have seen it the About page of Ovi maps, which is inaccessible to a screen reader. So take sighted assistance. 2. After downloading this file, unzip it in your PC. It has 16 folders. 3. Connect your phone to PC through USB in mass storage mode. 4. Using your computer browse to your memory card, CITIES, diskcache. Here you would find same 16 folders apart from other folders and files. But their total size would be less than 311 MB. In case the new data files do not work, as a fallback you might like to move the current 16 folders from your memory card to your computer. 5. Now copy the downloaded 16 folders of 311 MB in the diskcache folder in memory card. 6. Unplug your phone from the computer, open Ovi maps and search for cities/states you haven't searched or seen in it before. If it is working fine, which I believe it should, it should show those maps instantly without the need to download map data of those places using GPRS. To use the voices, follow the above directions again for this folder. Hope this helps. Pranay.
