Re: Maemo-Mapper Map Download help
 
Is it possible to download map data, in the correct format/directory structure for maemo mapper, from another machine?

I'd like to use my work pc, where the internet connection is much faster that anything I can achieve at home.

Hi Ioan, thanks again for refreshing winmapper to work with the moving target repositories. I'm very grateful to see this useful program working again.

However, there's one question I've been meaning to ask. What's the reason for needing to rerun large downloads to gradually fill in missing maps? Sometimes it takes a half dozen passes or even more. I don't see this problem with the built-in maemo mapper downloads.

Have you left out any attempt at retry logic, for simplicity? Maybe an optional control for number of retries or a retry time limit would help in situations where not everything comes down in a single run.
