yup no matter where you live in Karachi Pakistan like me or in Sahara Desert , if you can see your house on Google Earth you can make yourself a map and that's what I did got myself a working map of Karachi working with my BT GPS system
The step by step guide is
Install SmartComGPS on the Nokia E70 ( available from series60v3.com )
open Google Earth and find your house and the satellite distance you want to use and copy the image .
Convert the JPg to Bitmap
Get OZI Explorer Trial and import image into it
mark two points with GPS data on the image and save the file
Use SmartComOGF2 converter to convert image into map and copy the details to smartcomgps folder in main memory of your E70
Start smartcom , connect it to your GPs and start using it
The only problem I faced was that I didn't callibrated my map correctly so I was getting the wrong location
another problem do not make a big file as the image will cover around 200 kbs and given the out of memory syndrom of Nokia its better to make multiple maps as per the location like I have one for P.E.C.H.S , one for clifton area and one for North Karachi
Hope you will find it as easy like I did
