Den, have you considered adding the "getmaps" script that's been posted around here several times? I think that'd be a good resource. I know it only works for google maps, but that shouldn't be too big a deal, plus it can easily be hacked to do more maps too.

No, haven't tryed “getmaps". I use “VE”, “Google”, “Yahoo” and “Open Street” map repositories with traffic and weather layers.

No, Any maps you view while connected to WiFi will be saved to your memory card in a folder named "Mapper". All these map files have the file extension ".db". If you do a "route" while connected to WiFi, that route will also be saved to you memory card so that you can do that route while "offline". I created a "Routes" folder within the "Mapper" folder to keep them separate from my downloaded maps.

How about adding this to the maemo.org wiki. I think it's done well enough to call "official."

As the author I prefer to keep control over my work. I'd also miss the traffic on my website that this HowTo brings.
