Thanks!!
Sorry to jump in but that picture shows you using 'Yahoo Satellite' for map tiles (black dot to the left). Changing to another option is merely a case of tapping on the relevant choice and the dot should switch when you next look at it.

I found the first download took some time. I also found that once I had a corrupt tile set and had to remove the files from my storage area to stop Maemo Mapper having a fit.

Hope this helps some!

Have you checked that the Openstreetmap map repository URL address is correct in your settings? Maybe this thread helps:

I imagine that could help a lot, only problem is i canīt open it, keeps giving me a "Youīre browser couldnīt make that request", or something like that.

Any other thoughts please ??

Thanks

Despite using http protocol map repository downloads require a different client application than a browser. That is why you're getting the error -- it doesn't indicate a problem with the repository, just the way you're trying to access it. Openstreet maps should always work and do for me. Map downloads are effected by available storage for the map tiles and downloads occur according to what area you are viewing with Maemo Mapper -- zoom out and a larger map will be downloaded.
