you can download pre-built maps bin files here:

and learn more about navit.xml here:

be careful about the format of center of the map coordinates, read carefully navit.xml about that.
Awesome, its' working now. Thanks a lot, this is after about a week long struggle of trying to get locally stored maps working on this device. I should mention that I actually paid for a license for Wayfinder which has produced nothing so far (their website's a mess, no clear install process), Navit is the one actually working now.

This is especially great because I got this tablet in order to create an app for delivery order tracking & signature capture, now it looks like I actually might be able to integrate a mapping system in with that.. I'll post my progress on all that in another thread. It will start as soon as the OtterBox 2600 comes in the mail (mostly to protect it from the customers, but also the weather).

in the meantime I'll be using it for day to day address finding -- with a traditional map book as a backup, of course. so thank you very much.
