Hello, I followed the link that Hussein Patwa posted yesterday, it is very drastic, and this is for only OVI 3.0. The thread pertains to Nokia N82. I would advise anyone who wishes to perform these tasks, to proceed at there own risk.
The following is taken from: http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Cannot-instal l-Ovi-Maps-3-0-on-N82/m-p/565145 It's a common problem with several Nokia S60 devices when updating native Nokia Maps built-into the native firmware to Ovi Maps 3. Here's the only procedure to make it work: 1. First of all, use a File manager to delete the folder called cities from your memory card root; also delete the file named qf found in root. 2. Perform a full backup on internal phone memory using Backup/Restore module from Nokia PC Suite. 3. Perform a hard reset on the device using the well-known method: while the device is turned off, press and hold these 3 keys: green (call), * (asterisk) and 3 (three) and power on the device. Do not release these 3 keys until the animated logo (hands) is shown. 4. Now you need to launch the Nokia Maps application, then after it loads completely you can exit from the app; by doing this, cities folder and qf file will be restored on memory card' root. 4. Now install/update your device with the latest Maps application using Setup_Nokia_Maps_Updater_1.0.10.exe or using the *.sis package already owned by you. 5. Also you may want to install you favourite country maps and voices for guidance using Nokia Map Loader. 6. Restore your data from the prevoius backup file using Nokia PC Suite.
