Find your version of Nokia Maps

Instructions

Run Ovi Maps on your phone once before you add any maps or voices. This will create the required folder structure on your memory card.

Unzip the downloaded map files and drop them into the appropriate folders on your memory card.

On my Nokia the folder structure is cities with a subfolder called diskcache, filled with 16 subfolders called 0 to 9 and a to f, and each of these folders have another 16 subfolders 0 to 9 and a to f.

Map files have the extension .cdt. Example:

[memory card]\cities\diskcache\[0-9, a-f]\[0-9, a-f]\filename.cdt

• On some Nokia phones (like the N95) maps are stored in:

\Private\20001f63\diskcache\[0-9, a-f]\[0-9, a-f]\filename.cdt

• To install, just drop the 16 folders called 0-9 and a-f into the diskcache folder.

• If your phone has both folders, get a small map (for a single country) and try both folders to see which one works. Even Nokia's own map loader doesn't always get it right. Details on the Nokia discussion board.

• You may need to tell your computer to show hidden files and folders.
