As for the zoom levels, I've just found it best to do the even numbered zooms only. For one it's a lot less zoom levels to download, and two, unless you have a need for any zoom level higher than 16 or lower than 6, you should only need 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, and 6. The only time I've found that 2 and 4 come in handy is if you're adding a lot of POI's, but otherwise under practical driving use, they're really not that handy and take up a ton of space for something you really won't use that often.
yeah 6 is best for driving but, I do like having my close ups when walking and feel a little bit more gpsish at 4 and 2.

Question, don't anyone else find Maemo-mapper a bit slow? Is it possible to make it a bit faster, especially for browsing maps? When I am browsing the maps that I've already downloaded, it still takes a little bit of time to move to the next area, sometimes it just stalls for a minute or two at a black screen.
