It's worth noting that if you mix versions of map data, then it may cause the maps program to crash when trying to start. I used the links from http://nokiamaps.site666.info with my very old previously-downloaded maps and it caused this problem.

When I got maploader working, it updated the version of my maps data to 1.28.107, and used map data from http://static.maploader.maps.svc.ovi.com instead of static.s2g.gate5.de.

If you have a cities/MapLoader directory, check the content.xml file for the entry <directory map-version="0.1.xx.xxx"> for the version of your current maps.

In case it helps anyone else, you can use the attached script to download maps for a couple of different map data versions (originally from http://www.blog.d-11.de/2011/03/22/n...ng-map-loader/). It includes all maps (7G worth) at the moment, but you can use the links inside to get single maps if you need.

Hope it helps someone!
