I have a question about the way maps are stored. For Google Street maps, all the maps seem to be stored in a single file called GStreet.db. Is there a fuller discussion somewhere about this database file? I would like to know how I can inspect it to see which maps it contains. Is this a sqlite database?
When I installed 2.05, I had to start fresh with downloading all my maps again. No complaint there but I wonder what the best strategy is for doing something like this. I basically want to have the entire US at a fairly zoomed out level and then certain regions at various zoomed in levels. I end up redownloading maps because of the overlap of what is seen on the display. I had the very same issue when I tried to perform this operation when map files were stored in various subdirectories. This is a very hit-and-miss way to do it. Maybe it would be better if we could stage the collection of maps on our desktop and then transfer everthing over to the n800. That's the approach that Garmin Mapsource uses.
Related to the downloading of maps, why is it that when I try to use my desktop (Linux/Firefox) to go http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.9...d&y=%d&zoom=%d I get "The requested URL /mt?n=404&v=w2.999&x=%25d&y=%25d&zoom=%25d was not found on this server." What's the trick for downloading maps from google on the desktop?
