Now map tiles should be downloaded when you try to move around on the map.
Perfect, now I got it working and spent an hour checking out the lake's depth where my cottage is, cool! This will be very useful for me, e.g., when going fishing...

There are also a couple of features that I don't understand yet. What are the two last map options in the menu? Also, on the display on the top center, where the coordinates are given, on the left side there's this line with red and green balloon endings. When I press that, it says "calculating route", but nothing happens?

Sorry that I'm asking these obvious questions, but as I see this app pretty useful, I'd like to take full advantage of its features.


Edit:
Yeah ok, I learnt the function of those two last map options when combining info in this thread, but as said, instructions with some screen shots would be awesome. Anyways, thanks for the great app, can't wait to take my n900 to the sea now!
