Re: N900 map without connection
Location search - ie looking for the nearest Best Buy doesn't work without an internet connection. Hopefully this will be fixed.
But if you have an address or merely a point on a map the GPS will function and track you without internet, if you have the maps preloaded. I've done it. |

Re: N900 map without connection
I find the maps work fine but was bugged that it keeps asking for an internet connection. Spent ages looking for a setting in Ovi Maps to turn off but great to hear its done via Settings Location.
Should be OK now - just takes a few mins to get a gps signal. |

Re: N900 map without connection
Downloaded maps via map loader following the book and all went well. Yes, I can add routes offline, but ONLY when selected on the map itself as it does not search for typed in places (it says: "error occurred during search request" ) which renders the option of downloading maps for offline use completely useless. How am I supposed to know the location of the destination road in a town abroad? I mean, that's WHY I would like to use the offline map in the first place. Am I missing something?

Re: N900 map without connection
Thanks but...oh dear that's bad news. Does this mean we are doomed to use bitmap only on our devices or is it likely that there is some kind of third party alternative in future? I think my real question is: Can Maemo 5 handle vector maps?
