I then "click to calculate disk space needed" and it said it would take somewhere around 60mb. It was going slow and so i let it sit overnight to download. This morning my /.maps folder is 1.8gigs. This is just slightly more than the 60mb i was expecting. And that's not even for that many zoom levels or a very large area.

I'm kinda of glad i didn't tell it to download the max up and down in the 160km radius i wanted, as that told me it needed 1.4 million tiles. Based on the size of my directory that would have put it at a 104GB download just for the 2 up and 2 down, let alone with max. For some reason this doesn't sound right, as maps for the entire world for ovi maps doesn't even take that much space. Actually, for 1.8 gigs i could have downloaded the whole western US, not just the 6 mile area around my house.

Any suggestions how how to fix this disk space issue, as i would like to get a 160km radius, would be great.
I hope you didn't tell yourself "It's 60MB i'll use 3g"
