Thanks to this software, you can use your Tab as an offline map viewer. It features an inbuilt map repository browser for easy downloading, and features like rotation and 3D for comfortable browsing..
I have played with this in Nitdroid, also if you closely read the features, MapDroid is a map *Viewer*. I don't believe it does *Navigation*. It will follow your position, but you can't search for a location and get directions to it. In other words, no *Routing*.


@ daperl I agree, the Tab is a great front-runner. Hopefully, there are more similar tablets in the near future. As I've mentioned earlier I'd prefer a wifi only tablet based on how I think I would use one. I very much like the Viewsonic G-Tablet, except for the size, and no GPS. A 7" G-Tablet for around $300 vs the 10" @ ~$380 would be very tempting.
