Re: Loading Ovi maps onto device memory-yes or no?
- Original message - If you hit the default OVI maps area the app to store maps on the N900 is there. By this do you mean the Windows Map Loader, or the Ovi Map client to load onto the device? I have the Map Loader app on my PC since using Ovi Maps on my E61/71. I did try but can't see if it's actually worked. I've used it to throw the maps on my system, and it works just fine. There are two cavets though: 1 The maps are stored on the internal flash, not the memory card. 2 You must connect your device via USB in Media Storage Mode (not PC Sync Mode) Ok good to know that. Are they stored in the 32GB of user memory, or in the 1GB of application memory? Do you have the file location just to see if it has worked? I can grab just the areas I'll be in and load them up on the phone before I go. :) Yep that's exactly what I do with my E71. Thanks I'll give it a whirl.

Loading Ovi maps onto device memory-yes or no?
Hi, I havem read in different places that it's possible to load the Ovi Map files onto your N900, like you can on any Symbian device. I have tried this butg so far it's proved unsuccessful. Can anyone point me to a guaranteed procedure to load the map locations on my 2GB memory card? I'm using Ovi Maps 1.?.

Re: Loading Ovi maps onto device memory-yes or no?
follow the download links from maps.nokia.com and grab the map loader (not the map updater). This application will let you side-load your maps. I am not 100% sure it works for N900, but that device is listed under the devices for the maps program itself. hope that helps, K On 2/12/2010 5:08 PM, Bernard Tyers wrote: Hi, I havem read in different places that it's possible to load the Ovi Map files onto your N900, like you can on any Symbian device.

If you hit the default OVI maps area the app to store maps on the N900 is there. I've used it to throw the maps on my system, and it works just fine. There are two cavets though: 1 The maps are stored on the internal flash, not the memory card. 2 You must connect your device via USB in Media Storage Mode (not PC Sync Mode) You have to have space on the internal flash for it, since thats where the OVI app looks. (And if you're grabbing several states or countries, that can be a lot.) One nice thing is it lets you pick and choose. So for example, I chose a few states in the NE of the US, the south-eastern portion of Canada, Florida, and Washington, since I travel there on occasion. When I go to another place, (like a trip to Spain) I can grab just the areas I'll be in and load them up on the phone before I go. :) Bernard Tyers b...@runningwithbulls.com wrote: = Hi, I havem read in different places that it's possible to load the Ovi Map files onto your N900, like you can on any Symbian device.
