Google supports zoom levels 2 through 20. Attempts to download maps at zoom levels 0 or 1 will fail.

Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the saving of the track to disk (which occurs once every minute), or to the actual track points that are recorded?

I'll be honest. When I first got my N800 and downloaded MM i didn't get it either. I thought a blank screen was all it was too (well maybe the map of the entire US of A). So I kinda understand this fellows thinking though I wouldn't have posted it here in the manner he did. It was really by accident that I hit the zoom key and figured out what was going on.

Perhaps there should a be quick "set up" screen or something that kind of points total noobs in a direction to get up and going in the most basic way and have that screen only appear the first time the app is run.

Just a suggestion.

Here's a dumb question - but if I use winmapper to download the maps - where do I put them with this version? All I see isa Cache DB that appears quite large. I have managed to move that db to my MMC, and edited my repository to point there, but not sure if I have switched the application to use my MMC.

Two things here, first the 2.0.3 version has fixed my issue with the GPS connectivity!

Second, as I played around with the new POI feature, I suddenly have lots of purple square POIs on my maps. Soooo, would it be easy to have a feature in the Edit POI Category box to allow users to determine each category's POI color? I think that would help differentiate the different POIs as you drive near them.

Ah, ha! Thanks! Man, that's going to take a while. 3,775 miles.

When I record tracks on my handheld Garmin, I have the option of recording track points at equal time intervals or equal distance intervals or a magic in-between formula. The equal distance intervals option would be handy on the n800 if I wanted to create a road map by driving around (which I do).

I didn't actually check the n800 gpx track files before I posted my question. I can now see that the track points are recorded every second. This is frequent enough that I can probably create a derived track file with points at equal distance intervals using gpsbabel.

Is the one second between track points a fixed interval, or can it be changed?

When I did my NJ to Miami trip I downloaded maps while at hotels. Had less errors that way especially for multiple zoom levels. Like I only wanted level 6 for between stops. but I wanted 0-3 for the locations I was stopping in.

Winmapper does not (yet?) work with Maemo Mapper v2.x. It relies on the old 1.x method of storing maps.
