Finally, the only reasons to use the Map Loader are to update the maps, or to add extra areas.
1) In my cell i could see a folder "cities" occupying around 1.5GB of data. In some forum i read that N900 ships with world map, henceforth that folder occupys that much. So will this mean, map works with net connections? Also there is no need to go to map manager?

When click the link from my mob, a file will be downloaded with file name like "7DC95D1F5A7F1636E040050A873255CS"(I suspect it to be a webpage getting saved).
when i click on the file, phone will ask me to select a program to install this.
Finally I am not able to install the req app. What i am missing here?

The Nokia Map Loader will update what's on there but doesn't appear to offer any easy way of seeing what's already installed. You could browse around in Maps to see at what point it starts trying to download data. Unfortunately I've managed to leave my N900 at home this morning, so I can't check to see whether there's anything obvious about the data files.

I have two questions wrt to navigation and download steps from ovi store.
