how to download maps for mappero n900?
Mappero - Where are the map-files located

I've got Mapper on my N900 I've tried the voice in settings, but I can't get it to recognise the internal gps chip, any ideas?

This is a great app - really impressed with it, despite it being a little rough around the edges.

How can you find out what zoom level you are currently in - just so i know what level zoom map i should download?

is there a guide to how to get voice instructions working - i cant figure it out myself.

Thanks for any help

To see the zoom level, from the main Mappero menu, Show -> enable the Zoom Level option and it will show up on the bottom of the map display. I'm using version 3.0+beta9.

How big is a tile?

If I was downloading the map data for a given route, and set the map Manage Maps setting to Along Route - Radius - I need to know how much area a given tile would cover at a specific zoom level.

How do you guys normally download your maps - which settings would you use?

As I wrote before, I think that this is really a great app. It got nearly all features that I like to have, but I really got a problem with the storage space, that is needed for the maps. It takes far more storage space on the disk, than the size of the map files really is.

Is there any improvement planned for the future? Maybe to store the maps in a database like maemo mapper did in OS2008?

Since I would like to use for navigation on car or motorcycle I need maps for a bigger area. So I can't use mappero at the moment.

I'm having trouble with routing at the moment.

With internet connected & gps working, with my position showing on the screen, I try to route to a given location.

Using google as router, nothing happens for some minutes and then it times out.

Does anyone know why this would be? I tried a reinstall but the same thing - it's been like this for a couple of days.

It's a problem with the routing server, gnuite.com. Lately it seems not to be up, so all queries are failing. I'm about to release mappero 3.0+beta10 which will implement routing by directly talking to the Google Maps server, which is always up and running. :-)

After the latest update about month ago i couldnt been calculated routes. Mapper just crashes everytime.

But easy access to finnish topographic maps is fantastic, thanks for that

Sweet after new update routing works great.
