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.

Hi,
Could you please tell me how to do that copying of the .qf file? I already tried an other method and entered in X Terminal the command cp /home/user/MyDocs/.qf /home/user/MyDocs/qf

Got following reply: cannot stat .qf no such file or directory

So that didn't really help. I'm using vista 32. I also have win 7 on other laptop, but wasn't able to load the maploader on it as it already uses Ovi instead of pc-suite.

I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with this.

u need to have root permissions. download rootsh and obtain them through
'sudo gainroot'. then run 'cp' command.

I got a dose of my own medicine, sort of, ... map loader keeps on "waiting for phone..." Yike! Solution reported...keep reading.

I read that map 3.04 beta is now available, although my Ovi map is working perfectly, I would like to try see whether there is any new improvement.

1) maploader is gone from USA Nokia site. Yes, it is gone. I finally found a link after going thru lots of run-around, and I have updated the link too, but it wont download. Bottom line, maploader is gone, at least today.

2) I went to my own backup, dig out my own copy of maploader, install, reboot, and got stuck with this "waiting for phone..."

3) When all failed, read the manual.. open up my own thread, this one, and followed the instruction, step by step, found out that one had to get USB-mass storage mode goes on 1st, before opening maploader. That solved the "waiting for phone..." problem, I was able to dl maps and update maps

4) I am now re download America 1.9 G and will see whether this is an update from Ovi Maps 1.01 (Maps 0.1.23.112)

5) I read another thread, recently posted, has quite a lot of similarity to this thread but credit was not given, I would call that internet plagarism. Period.

WinXP SP3
Map loader 3.0.28.0
N900 3.2010.02-8
