Long time listener first time caller etc etc...

Just got map download to work on Win7 Ultimate x64 without even having the phone plugged in.

1. Install Map Downloader. I have version 3.0.28.0
2. Copy from the MyDocs directory on the phone the ".qf" file and the "cities" subdirectory
3. Dump in the root dir of an external USB hard disk or thumb drive
4. Copy the .qf file to qf as well, just to be sure
5. Run up maps

I did this to both my external hard drive and a thumb drive at the same time and the app gave me the option of using either. It repoted free space wrong but it did then update the maps I already had and allow me to download more.

It's currently in progress, next step will be to copy the folders back to the device.

Just found another trick: To stop the ovi map from spinning.

The spinning comes from clicking the orange icon. Once touch the icon orange to get your current location in view, then click the icon compass (circle with arrow and N) and set N to whatever you want and touch anywhere on the map to minimize the compass, now the map will stay in that orientation till you touch the orange icon again. You can manually follow your own track, orientation stays the same and would not change.

Much Thanks
Hi there,

I can confirm that this method worked for me.
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=46

I had the same problem on Vista 32 bits:
changed the Map loader .exe to work as XP mode,
connected phone in Mass storage mode,
later connected phone in PC suite mode..... and nothing.

Solution on Vista 32 bits:
I tried the method on the above link and it worked out.
I actually copy the .qf on my desktop (you need to enable show hidden files and folders in the Folder and search option of your PC),
rename it as qf,
and put it back into the phone root,
tried the phone in PC Suite mode and it worked.

Good luck with yours.

Yanness

I downloaded the ovi maps on n900 using my mac and it worked n all but the problem i have with this is that 1 it still uses internet for all the point of interests, searches and that it doesnt have a re route calculation if you use another route to get to a destination.

I`ve installed win7 64bit on my pc for only a day.I realised that 64bit isn`t for me cause of incompatibilities with EVERY SOFTWARE AROUND!stick with 32bit.It`s times like this that you wished you installed 32bit
