Thanks very much Pranay for this great contribution. Now one question
I have to ask: I have save some land marks of my choice in the past.
Now how do I copy those land marks in the new maps data? I don’t want
to lose them.

Hi all:
As requested by few AI members, I downloaded the data for ovi maps day
before using the map loader software in my computer. I connected a nokia
c5
for the purpose, so believe as earlier it should work with ovi maps 3.03&
3.04. The data shared an year ago was also reported to work with version
3.01. If someone experiments by using it with other versions, do share the
results.
Map downloader is inaccessible with jaws, and the data is free to use, so
sharing this with all.
Download link for the data: http://www.sendspace.com/file/j6tn10
Its a 254 MB .zip file called 'Ovi maps 3.03, 3.04 data for India 12 April
2012.zip'. Unzipping it would give you a folder of 311 MB.
Sometime ago, I also downloaded 10 voices for the same versions which too
are free. These have English (all), Hindi, Urdu voices and the beeps only
option.
Download link for the voices folder (zip file of 35 MB):

For those who would not know its utility and how to use it, having the map
data offline in the phone not only saves GPRS costs, but also the map
software responds faster during navigation etc.
How to use:
1. Make sure the phone has the suggested Ovi Maps version. In few phones I
have seen it the About page of Ovi maps, which is inaccessible to a screen
reader. So take sighted assistance.
2. After downloading this file, unzip it in your PC. It has 16 folders.
3. Connect your phone to PC through USB in mass storage mode.
4. Using your computer browse to your memory card, CITIES, diskcache. Here
you would find same 16 folders apart from other folders and files. But
their
total size would be less than 311 MB. In case the new data files do not
work, as a fallback you might like to move the current 16 folders from
your
memory card to your computer.
5. Now copy the downloaded 16 folders of 311 MB in the diskcache folder in
memory card.
6. Unplug your phone from the computer, open Ovi maps and search for
cities/states you haven't searched or seen in it before. If it is working
fine, which I believe it should, it should show those maps instantly
without
the need to download map data of those places using GPRS.
To use the voices, follow the above directions again for this folder.
Hope this helps.
Pranay.
