Well, you have GPS (global positioning system), which gives you your position on the globe, typically stated as longitude East/West of the Greenwich meridian and latitude North/South of the equator; when you asked about "gps" you mentioned off-line, so I'm guessing you actually meant turn-by-turn navigation?

Maemo-mapper uses raster maps from Google, MS Visual Earth, Yahoo, OpenStreetMap, and others; none of these seem to have much street coverage, but the satellite views from Google, MS, or Yahoo should be better than nothing. If you can find a good web-app for Argentina maps, it may be possible to pull images from it with streets labeled.

Because Maemo-mapper uses raster maps, off-line routing is not possible. However, you can load standard gpx files as routes, and it will give on-screen (and, if you have flite installed, spoken) turn-by-turn directions.

Que haces, capo. It's good to see an argentinean here :D

There are no argentinean maps for the built-in Wayfinder application. So you won't find any turn-by-turn navigation solution.

What you can find is Maemo Mapper using OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) maps that has the City of Buenos Aires complete.

But to be honest, without turn-by-turn navigation it sucks and big time.

Google viene prometiendo los mapas de Argentina para Google Maps hace años. La última fecha concreta que dieron fue fines del 1er. trimestre de 2008, pero ya hemos pasado.

Viajoasi.com.ar ofrece rutas (y funciona muy bien) sobre una ventana de Google, pero no sé cómo podría integrarse a Maemo Mapper.
