OK..so reflashed..installed the maps program..downloaded usa maps east-unzipped to the internal card. Still the program doesn't recognize it being there. I moved the folder to the navicore folder..the root of the card..the maps folder..the mapdata folder..all to no avail. Oh well. Back to my N95 or my Garmin. Much easier to deal with

Hello,

Quote: "I didn't think that the map file that I downloaded from Navicore had to be unzipped."

First, I apologize for not having done some more research about extracting tar or gz files. I'm new to linux. I couldn't understand how a file that was 681MB still needed to be unzipped.

I was also confused as to where the extracted files went to. I found my map "mapdata_USA West" in a folder named Navicore on my PC after I did the extraction.

Now a new question.

In any of the mapdata folders there are files that have the extension .qt which is for Quick Time Movie. I tried to open these files even on my PC but get error messages. Do these files do anything and can they be deleted to free up space?

Thank you.

those are not Quick Time Movie files, just a coincidence in the extension.

once you unzip your "mapdata_USA West" put it next to your other mapdata folder(s) and it should recognize it

Finally, after moving the map usa east folder to different places, the only way I got it to show is to download the 1mb singapore maps and once it was installed the usa maps were recognized. Maybe a license thing.

How does one get the maps app to see the external GPS? I'm using a gps device that maemo mapper had no problem using, but this app doesn't see it

Update: I couldn't get the maps app to see the external GPS..so I discovered an external GPS app for the N95 and it works real good with the N800 maps app

I believe that once you install the maps app it creates the map folder on the internal card

Hi,

Having a little different problem than others. After a failed download, I foolishly took the card out and deleted the map folder on my sd card. ( I had to do it with windows because the N800 refused to do it as read only files). Now map won't launch. It starts then fails returning to the home screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled map, but still won't launch. I've even reflashed my N800, which recreated the map folder on the sd, but map still won't launch. Apparently, it's a card issue, even though the N800 reads it fine. The next step, I guess, is to reformat the card. Anyone else run into this and able to fix it?

Probably best off just formatting your internal card.
