Nokia N9 have maps application, both of Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive are related one to other. But the same problem with Nokia Drive on Nokia N9 also occur in Nokia Maps (see here). Nokia Maps also need logged in Nokia Account before you can use Nokia Maps. So I think the same way with bypassing Nokia Account in Nokia Drive will be succeed too in Nokia Maps.
The same step can be read on my previous post here, until preparing the configuration Nokia Drive download. Okay let's go!

- First, make sure you have installed Filebox and setting to show hidden files and show root filesystem.
- Open browser on your N9 and download Modified Nokia Maps Configuration here. Don't press clear when the download has finished, just tap Done.
- Go to Filebox, and navigate to /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads, you'll found Maps.conf there, copy and paste this file into /home/user/.config/Nokia. But I recommend you if there's existing Nokia Maps Configuration backup it into Maps.conf.bak the same method on backup Nokia Drive Configuration.
Backup Original Nokia Maps Configuration Place Modified Nokia Maps Configuration
- Now you can use Nokia Maps without Nokia Account logged in requirement anymore.

For alternatively download using PC, I'll try to write it to night, thank you
Can you describe where you'll found the message "you don't have permissions to proceed"?
I think you're wrong to place the modified Nokia Maps Config, make sure you're placing modified Nokia Maps Config everywhere under /home/user/MyDocs (I suggest under /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads). Then you need to copy Maps.conf in /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads into /home/user/.config/Nokia. And restart your Nokia Maps, it should make Nokia Maps on your N9 running. If there's any problem, feel free to write comment below, thanks
When trying to download maps.conf to my N9, it said:
Download failed - Downloading the file failed. File type application/octet-stream not supported (in finnish).
So I downloaded the files to my windows-laptop.
What is the best way to copy files from laptop to N9?
Thanks for answers!
Feel happy to see the research/efforts you are taking to keep N9 alive :)

You are fantastic! MAyny thanks for the step by step instructions!
Since I bought my Nokia N9 I was bugged with the issue, that navigation does not work. I am a great fan of Nokia Navi (now HERE), use it since years, and saved several times the family. :-) So I was really annoyed it never started in N9. I noticed the Nokia login attempts, but I though the SW is just bad, needs reinstallation. Your hints saved my day, and a lot of hours I would otherwise spend on this issue...
Thank you!
(I was fall in love with this N9 device after my Nokia X7 went bad (later repaired :-), and did not like the low res display of the otherwise fantastic Nokia 808). I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 from the company, but I think nothing as fluent experience as the N9)
