In a couple of months, i'm taking a trip to Toronto, Ontario for a week or so. I will be spending a lot of time walking around, and would love to take my N800 and GPS to help me find my way around. What I want to do is pre-load the maps needed (preferably levels 4/6 of google street for the downtown area).

I have tried doing it inside of Maemo Mapper, by displaying the general area I want, going to Menu->Maps->Manage Maps set it to Download Maps, By area, and set it to zoom levels 4 and 6. The downloads begin, but one of two things happen every time I try this. Either A) The wireless disconnects and reconnects constantly, or B) The tablet resets itself. Its almost as if it can't handle that much data coming to it.

I would like to make the downloads on my PC and transfer them to the tablet using my 16GB sd card. Is this possible? I've done some searching and googling, and the only thing I can find is "WinMapper 03.19.2009". I've followed the instructions by using google earth to create the two KML files for top-left and bottom-right, added it into the program, but when i click "Download", a second passes and then it says "All Done!" with obviously not downloading anything.

Any suggestions for either problem?
