Nokia recently came out with a its own navigation software called Nokia Maps. It has two modes of operation, one that requires a GPS device and the other that works on downloaded map data from the internet. This software supports all the N-Series phones and some other. There’s a compatibility list of phones compatible with Nokia Maps here. This article will give you an intro about the software and how to install it on your mobile phone.

I’ll be installing Nokia Maps on my N-73 Music Edition phone. The process remains more or less the same for all the phones. You’ll need to have a compatible data cable for your model and a memory card for storing the downloaded map data. So make sure you have the cable ready and enough free space in your memory card. If you want just the map for India I would recommend a free space of around 25 MB to be enough. If you want more than one country map just makes sure you have ample free space in your memory card.

Here is a list of software that you will require to help you install Nokia Maps onto your compatible Nokia phone. I’ve provided the download link next to the software if you cannot find it.

• Nokia PC suite. Download the latest one from here.

• Nokia Maps PC software. Download here.

• Compatible Nokia Maps for your mobile. Download here.

Now we can start our installation of Nokia Maps. Just follow the following steps.

1. Install the PC Suite and the Maps software on your computer. Install the Nokia maps software for mobile on your mobile using PC Suite.
   
   

2. Launch the PC Suite or the Nokia Maps Client by clicking on the Nokia Maps launcher.
   
   

3. Once launched the Map Launcher you’ll get an instruction screen. Now you need to connect your phone using your data cable in “MASS STORAGE” mode.
   
   Make sure the phone is connected in Mass Storage mode. Here is how you can change the mode. When you plug-in your data cable the phone will ask you which mode to connect the phone to the PC. Select Mass Storage mode.
   Note that when the mass storage mode is activated the phone is in Offline mode.
   
   If the phone doesn’t go into mass storage mode and gives some error then unplug the data card and perform the following steps.
   Go to Menu -> Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Other.
   There you can change the memory in use to Phone memory if it is your memory card. Now try plugging back the cable and selecting Mass Storage mode.
   
   

4. Once the phone is in the mass storage mode then click on the Tick mark in the instructions page of the Map Loader software.

5. Now the software will show you the names of continents. If you want the maps for India then perform the following steps.
   Select Asia -> Select India -> Click on the ‘+’ sign next to it -> Click on the Download button the right bottom corner of the software. Now wait till the map data is downloaded and installed into your memory card.

6. Disconnect the phone. Open the Maps software by going to Menu -> Applications -> Nokia Maps.

7. Once loaded you can use the right selection key to access the options of the software like searching, finding landmarks.
   
   There’s a lot to learn by oneself in this navigation software.
   So it’s best that I leave the rest of it to you guys. ?
   If you encounter any problems we’ll be here to help you out. ?
   
   Happy Navigating! And as Nokia puts it “Never get lost again”.

Recently, I spoke about Azureus A Powerful, Full-Featured, Cross-Platform Bittorrent Client. Now we shall look at another issu, installation of Azureus on Windows, Linux and OSX.

Installation Guide - Windows Users

1) Install JRE from here.
2) Install latest setup.exe from here.
3) Start Azureus.exe.

• If Azureus window does not show up after a minute, or if it immediately terminates, try starting with the debug .exe available from
  http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download/Azureus-debug.exe

Starting manually:

• java -classpath swt.jar;Azureus2.jar org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main

If Azureus starts without any exception stack traces, you can replace java by javaw and just use this shortcut/batch for starting Azureus:

• javaw -classpath swt.jar;Azureus2.jar org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main

Batch File:

• start javaw -classpath swt.jar;Azureus2.jar org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main

If the problem still remains, you should use the batch file, java instead of javaw and an absolute path to java.exe (C:\jre1.4.1\bin\java.exe, for example).

• C:\jre1.4.1\bin\java.exe -classpath swt.jar;Azureus2.jar org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main
  pause

Installation Guide - Linux Users

1) Install JRE from here.
2) Extract latest linux package (choice of GTK or Motif) from here

• To extract the program files from the package, type
  • tar xvjf Azureus_x.x.x.x_linux…tar.bz2

where Azureus_x.x.x.x_linux…tar.bz2 is the name of the downloaded package.

3) Change to the azureus directory and run ./azureus to start

• cd azureus
• ./azureus

If you get an error message, or want to configure the java exec path, just open the azureus script file with your favorite text editor and edit the given configuration options.

If Azureus does not show up after a minute, you can try starting it manually:

• GTK:
  • java -cp swt.jar:swt-pi.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=./ org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main

You’ll surely find a lot of like minded folks who’ll definitely pull u out of the dark.

You can find a simple tutorial to make ICON’s for Symbian Phones here.

The tutorial is the end result of kishu’s never ending Hard efforts :-).

Thanks Kishu.
