How to preload maps on Nokia Maps

Nokia Maps comes with no maps preloaded either. That means that, at first, you'll need Internet connection to use it. If not, you won't be able to see the maps. You can easily avoid this by preloading maps your self using one of the following methods:

• Exploring the area previously with Internet connection. Nokia Maps will be caching the area as you explore it. This method is not very accurate as it is very easy to skip some places you can need later.
  


• Using Nokia Map Loader. This method works but needs .net framework, and if you add a new map the map loader deletes all your existing maps so you'll have to download them all over again.
  


• Using the Nokia Maps Alternative. Simply download the maps you want for Nokia Maps 2.0 and unzip them into [memory card]\cities\diskcache.
