Somebody try and report back?

I have tried that in Vista 32-bit. Does not help. Nokia Map Loader can't find my N900. And I have used the map application on the N900 before.

And it wants me to put it in PC Suite Mode.

It works here. The N900 is in mass storage mode, and I have Ovi Suite installed, not PC Suite:

Could it really be because I am using Vista 32-bit?

Have NOT been reported working on Vista. Dont know why. Some guru may want to chime in

I can hereby confirm that Nokia Map Loader works with the N900 using Windows XP 32-bit. And that it does not work when using Windows Vista 32-bit.

I can also confirm that bunanson step by step guide is correct.

The Nokia Map Loader can be downloaded here:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/prod...d#/nokia-n900/

Also, there is no need to have installed or install Ovi Suite or PC Suite. The Nokia Map Loader will be sufficient.

For those that don't have access to a computer booting Windows, I managed to make it work (or at least to make it seem to work) in XP 64-bit under QEMU.

I have to say that I did not finish the download (it was taking too long and I had to vacate the computer), and I ended up downloading the maps in a Windows computer at work, so YMMV. But I see no reason for it not to work. :-)

I can confirm that bunason step by step guide is correct and Ulrik's post - YES, it will work on a XP machine, Service pack 2 machine. PC Suite is not required. I used an old Dell laptop with XP home edition, put SP2 with .NET. Loaded Nokia Map Loader fine and all steps work. I suspect it is due to the XP SP2 OS

It does NOT work on a MacBook running Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit even if you use the compatibility set to XP Service Pack 2 for the Nokia Maps Loader.

Hope this helps.....
