It is quite simple to be honest so here we go without any further ado:
Download 1 – Sygic Aura Download
1) At first you have to download the zip installer (download 1 – namely Sygic Aura Download) and extract it on to your PC preferably, so that you install Sygic Aura on your phone. You will see that there are things there, one the SetupSygicGPSNavigation.SIS file and a folder called Sygic.
2) Now we have to transfer the installer on your phone. To do that please go ahead and transfer the Sygic folder to the Root of your phone’s memory card and then install the supplied SetupSygicGPSNavigation sis file to your phone. You must select English as your preferred language.
3) Once the SIS installer has completed the installation successfully, you are basically done. All you have to do now is to get the correct Android maps on to your Symbian device. To get the maps for your desired country please install the second file from below (download 2).
Download 2 – Sygic Maps Downloader
1) It is quite simple too. Simply download the above file namely Sygic Maps Downloader and extract it.
2) Now browse onto the following folder after the extraction is done with. Go To: Sygic Downloader 1.9 – Android – Aura 11.2.6. Run the exe file and download the map you want straight on to your computer.
3) Here is the tricky bit though, once the download is over you need to rename the maps file and transfer it on to your phone so that Symbian OS recognizes it along with Sygic. For eg. Say you downloaded the map of Australia, you will notice the file is named as aus.ta.20XX.YY. XX denotes the name of the maps and YY denotes the version number of the map itself. You need to rename this to aus.ta.2013.01 and copy only this specific folder to Sygic/Auramaps on the phone’s memory card. There will be other folders that doesn’t need to be copied at all so you will only have to copy the country specific folder which in our case is aus.ta.2013.01.
That’s it enjoy high performance navigation any time you want without incurring extra charges right from your smartphones. Maps that are currently supported are all the countries from Europe including Russia, England, Sweden, Norway, Romania, Portugal, France, Spain etc. many countries from Asia including China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia and faraway countries like Australia, New Zealand etc.
Sygic Aura is supported by Symbian OS S3 devices like Nokia N8, C6, C7, X7, T7,E6, E7, 702T, Nokia Oro etc. Please like us at Facebook or subscribe to our RSS Feed before trying this out. Also feel free to share your contents on our forum 
Last but not the least, if you need other versions of Sygic for S60 v5 devices or S60v3 smartphones then check out our earlier article on Sygic GPS and another on the Sygic Mobile GPS Navigator.

@Chaos SIR, . . .
please provide working files data, here only europe files. . . . need asia files. please sir check again . thanks
thanks so far,
sygic is running well but it will only use the greek map. i tried to install several maps, but the programm will not find it. (i have renamed the maps and copied in the right folder). so please help me. where is the mistake?
the steps r vague and really hard to understand.
1) i am getting a disk error when i run the app after i install on my nokia c7 with official belle refresh. i tried installing on the phone memory and the mass memory.
2) i am still not able to understand what to do with the map folder i downloaded? u renamed it in ur example but what of other countries like Pakistan? what do i change the XX and YY to? obviously, i will do this when that DISK ERROR is fixed. i have already downloaded Pakistan’s map from the Sygic Map Downloader Android section, since the Symbian section only has Europe.
3) After installing the sis file, where on my phone is this Sygic folder that I have to copy the files in the Zip to? or do i create a new folder called Sygic (from the zip file) directly to my memory card?
so for the admin, plz help us with the DISK ERROR (alot of people are getting this) and then the rename instructions for maps of other countries apart from Australia.
In india its working(bcoz india in Asia) ? Please sir ans. Me?
Hello sir, im downloaded all in here. Also india.rar. Please help me how to use india.rar data. Please please . . . Thanks

When i click on sygic 1.9.exe it only shows me maps of Europe where are the maps of pakistan

@Chaos,
Please do provide COMPLETE Instructions!! This file is only valid for Europe. There is a license file only for Europe. Won’t work for countries outside Europe! You should mentioned the complete details while Copying and uploading filed into your server!!
Simply wasted my time!!
@Chaos,
I think for india map, we need more clarity. The India.rar contains files like “i01.mi.2013.01″ … “i32.mi.2013.01″. I copied all of them into the phone folder: :\Sygic\Auramaps\
I start the app, but for India it does not work.
Please help.

Thanks for your reply Rick,I am putting Sygic onto an N8.
I have done exactly what you instructed (my insallation map is grc.ta.2011.09, but it only installs Greece when Sygic is activated. If I remove the Greece map from Auramaps then restart Sygic it shows no maps available?
Hi Ishtiag,
I followed the instructions, but something is still wrong? the phone says “no maps installed” I have downloaded (aus) and (nzl) and neither require renaming.The map of Greece works fine but it has other files attached such as ” contents,europe,footprint etc and a serial number is included in 1 file”. Does the (aus) map file require similar files attached to make it work?
Thank You
hello, no friend. u jusst need 2 paste the folder containing the aus maps in the maps folder of ur phone. but first u need 2 rename ur aus maps according to the greece maps format.
if ur greece maps format is grc.ta.2013.26 then u need 2 rename ur aus maps to aus.ta.2013.26 n then paste aus.ta.2013.26 in the maps folder of ur phone.
thnx ishtiiaq. awsum post.

Should work fine as long as you follow the steps above.
Enjoy.
I downloaded the india.rar file from above link and renamed all folders to “i01.ta.2011.09″,”i02.ta.2011.09″ and so on.
Placed it inside “Auramaps”.
Nothing happened.
So, please help !
There are several file in the India.rar folder. Do I copy all of them inside Nokia phones: .\Sygic\Auramaps\ folder?
Sorry for the above comment, I opened the file rather than saving it and the file downloaded OK
No problemo
I am glad its working fine for you.
Can you mate give me the ‘world.mlm’ or ‘asia.mlm’ file.
Those who are having DISK error please uninstall everything (including sygic folder) and download everything with sygic install through wifi . Connect in Mass Storage Mode.
i need to know if its working with pakistan map , i donot think so???
Download 2 seems to have a problem as the file is damaged? It’s only downloading about 200B instead of 12.2Mb.
