Hi

I have a few questions about Maemo Mapper

ok I want to know the difference between it and the map application that's already installed

and does maemo mapper have like search in it like I can search for store of gas station or mall?

Without using any WiFi

Thanks

and can I download the maps throw the laptop then to the tablet?

Thanks

The built-in Maps application uses vector maps that you download en masse before us, typically divided up into regions. Maemo Mapper, on the other hand, is much simpler - it downloads raster maps (PNGs, typically) that it just displays on the screen. There are pros and cons of each type of map. There are a ton of other differences, like the fact that Maemo Mapper is open source and completely free. You can peruse Maemo Mapper's online help, if you like, or you can just install it and try it out.

And yes, Maemo Mapper can search for nearby POI, although the interface isn't particularly pretty.

There is a thread about downloading maps through your PC over here.

I do know how to use it should I use the command promtly or the python
