I'm having trouble caching the maps on my n810. Every time I select an area covering one city and try to download the area, the predicted size is something like 100000MB (obviously wrong - it's just Lisbon, pretty small city compared to NYC!) and the program crashes after a minnute or so... Tried reinstalling MM but with no luck... Maybe reflashing?

The estimate isn't wrong. Select fewer zoom levels.

Tried that... zoom level 3 only... even 4 gives me 1Gb. If I download the maps with winmapper I can get the full country at levels 2-4-7-9-13 in 90MB. But that's not compatible with MM2 (I think...). Ideas?

I feel your pain. I gave up with Maemo Mapper and get back to native Maps for offline mapping. It is ugly as hell, but I downloaded whole East Coast and it took ~700m only. It will be nice if this thing can do offline routing too for free.

The confusion is caused by that in MM1.x the map level uses the regular google map url notation, winmapper uses the same as well.

But in MM2.x they changed the level meaning, the max level is 20 instead of 16 in MM1.x, so the level is shifted up by 4. That means the level 1 in MM1.x is level 5 in MM2.x, keep that in mind.

So in MM2.x never go below level 4/5, it will blow out your sd card for sure. I found it out by digging deep in MM2.x source code.

Sorry to interrupt... I am using the Nokia N810 and have installed Maemo Mapper in it.
I would like to ask if anybody know how to use the internal GPS of N810 for Maemo Mapper?
I have tried to select "File Path" and use the default path "/dev/pgps" in the Setting of Maemo Mapper. However, it cannot find internal GPS. I have already enabled the GPS in Control Panel.

Yeah, but even avoiding levels 0-3, the estimated size is several times larger than the actual size. Faster db access would really help too (along with Winmapper). Maybe v3 will have to do a "compromise" between the single DB (which seems superslow, especially as it gets bigger) and the single-tile files of 1.0. How about files with a max of 256 tiles? (16x16 "supertiles")

hehe, I know, not this year.

ebug, some people have had success linking to a Bluetooth anything, phone, whatever.
Maemo Mapper may then find the internal GPS.
Some people have had success just firing up the Control Panel GPS widget.
Me, I seem to need the included Map program running in the background.
The developer hasn't got an N810.

Is there a way to run M/M 1.4 on OS2008?

If you just set the GPS to bluetooth and put no address it'll start without the need for any other app running.
