I am using Maemo mapper version 1.1 on the OS 2006 with the following URL to download maps:

http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=ap.6&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

This used to work fine but for a couple of weeks now, the downloaded maps are almost completely empty. For most parts of the world, they just show borders and country names. There used to be very nice maps for Europe and Germany, but now there are no details when I zoom in. Somehow it looks as if Google reverted the database to an older state. I remember that maps.google.com looked like this in the beginning.

Does anyone experience the same problems? Is there another URL one could try?

I am living in Helsink and experience the same problem now. Just few minutes ago, I posted a thread about the same problem to the troubleshooting forum.

Thanks. I tried the new uri. It's working now.

Not for me... neither of the suggested URIs works for me now... they used to work perfect some weeks ago but now I get no maps. The map cache directories are all empty. Downloading a route goes thru downloading map data... but all I get is a black screen – and the map cache directories have no files. I tried hitting alternate google servers, mt0, mt1 but no avail.

What is going on?

I'm using URI:
"http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.11&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d"

and I'm living in Finland. I cannot see roads in Finland but I can see roads in North America. Does anyone knows where can I download roads in Finland?

Just take an actual version like "v=w.2.21" instead of "v=w2.11".
You can always find out the current version by tracing the downloads when using google-maps in your browser.

I used 2.11&x and got all of the US and GB but not Europe. Changed to 2.21&x and got all of Europe over the weekend until Sunday night when it stopped.
The problem was I had filled the memory card.

use w2.51. My downloads stopped and I couldn't see why. Answer. The memory card was full.

Go to http://maps.google.com and zoom in to the area you're interested in.
Right-click in the white space off the map to the left or above it.
Select View Page Info then the Media tab.
Scroll down a bit until you see the familiar URLs and you'll see which numbers to use.
Just use %d for the x=, y= and zoom= numbers.
