Den, have you considered adding the "getmaps" script that's been posted around here several times? I think that'd be a good resource. I know it only works for google maps, but that shouldn't be too big a deal, plus it can easily be hacked to do more maps too. :)

No, haven't tryed “getmaps". I use “VE”, “Google”, “Yahoo” and “Open Street” map repositories with traffic and weather layers.

I have a question
One's the maps download it do I still have to use the WIFI to view them?

Re: How to use maemo mapper?
 

No, Any maps you view while connected to WiFi will be saved to your memory card in a folder named "Mapper". All these map files have the file extension ".db". If you do a "route" while connected to WiFi, that route will also be saved to you memory card so that you can do that route while "offline". I created a "Routes" folder within the "Mapper" folder to keep them separate from my downloaded maps.

How about adding this to the maemo.org wiki. I think it's done well enough to call "official." :)

As the author I prefer to keep control over my work. I'd also miss the traffic on my website that this HowTo brings.
