For some reason maemo-mapper was saving the maps as the old format, so I created the new as you suggested and it gave me the option to change the format. Now I am in the process of downloading zoom level 12 for the entire earth, about 2.5gb, and the device been at it all night and still going. Its not even at half yet. I wish I could do this on my laptop and then just copy the data over at a time like this.
