@earthwings: I just got back from Berlin. Anything I searched for, from pizza to specific addresses or streetnames, found zero results. I was using the monav Germany motorbike map.

Also, I think only when there was a (non-working) internet connection, anything I'd look at on the carefully preloaded map would gradually pixellate and get destroyed. Feels like throwing away old shoes before having new ones. Maybe the cache policy can change for this, because it doesn't make sense to destroy the tile you're looking at if it cannot download an updated tile. It should maybe throw away the least accessed tiles, or the farthest away tiles, or any random tile except the ones being looked at.

I think part of the preloaded cache had wrong permissions (my bad (good actually), I copied from PC because I preloaded on PC) because it kept working, and in this case using OSM on Berlin was pretty awesome because with the tracking feature as a reference it was very easy to find your way around.

Nice nice nice.
