It also only created store.sqlite.0 - would I be right in guessing that the numbering is not relevant to the zoom level?

The sqlite store is 676M in size, so I tried it on the device anyway, without expecting it to work.

The tiles are Mapquest and I selected that on the device, and got it to download some tiles - store tiles is turned on. There was no MapQuest dir created in the .maps dir, so I just copied the sqlite files into .maps. When I then went to the are I had downloaded, the UI said it was downloading tiles (it was quick). Still no Mapquest dir was created.

So....am I right in thinking I messed something up?

1) Has anyone else seen the perl error - is my copy of the script out of date (I took it from the beermad link at theModRana wiki)?

2) Should there be a Mapquest subdir, and how should it be named?

3) What would be the best indicator that it all worked, when I get it sorted?

Thanks.
I finally had time today to return to this, and I found the bug report for mapconvert earlier in this thread. It's now chuntering through my downloaded tiles. Hopefully all will be obvious once it's finished.

It might be worth mentioning the bug at the beermad site's version on the wiki where it's linked.

Sorry for missing it when I posted earlier.
