Step by step: N900 OVI maps and maploader

[[Knuckles]]

Just updated my maps via http://symbian.clanteam.com/indexmaps.htm .

Had to use the ones labeled "older maps for version 3.0 (also work with some newer versions (like 3.04), and with test version 3.0 beta)" since the "Maps for Ovi Maps 3.0" would crash for me.

Unfortunately, I wanted a map of Japan too, and the one from Ovi is just 3.5mb...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but does anyone know of any other resources to download maps compatible with the n900 software?

I'm trying to download my necessary list of regions and as Knuckles above pointed out, the latest version of the map files cause Ovi maps to crash. Problem is that the nokia servers either don't host older versions any more or have moved their location, because all the links to older versions give 404s.

My usb port stopped working recently, so I can't use Ovi suite to download anything.

edit:
Found them thanks to karatestarfish. The working urls are found in his script on the previous page:
