Alternatively, you can download the maps manually using the "Manage Maps" dialog. Manually downloaded maps are not subject to the "Download Steps" variable.

OK, this makes sense now. I had used up 2.1G with the map app that came with this n800, now dumped. Now maps dumped too

.

Might take a while but perhaps just define North American box and let it download until the cows come home to make sure I get everything.

Guess it might be wiser though to just turn on all the zoom levels and go to the areas I specifically want as a start

Much to learn here.

The concept is called "Auto-Rotate" in Maemo Mapper and is enabled via the "View | Rotate | Auto-Rotate" menu item. It only works when "Auto-Center" is enabled. Otherwise, you can always rotate the view manually.

Ah, thanks. Problem is, I think, trying to futz with the device while driving (scary with any device:-). Every time I turn on auto center and touch the screen it goes away - gets exciting :-).

MUCH to learn, I can tell :-).

Maemo Mapper cannot read the proprietary map format of Maps/Wayfinder, so that isn't the problem.

Got another 2.1G to work with now :-), Thanks!.

Quite a marvy little app here, much appreciated!
