Maemo Mapper files
I am new to Maemo Mapper. How do I use N810 Map app (Wayfinder) map tiles in MM so that I don't need an internet connection to plan a route? Aren't they both OpenStreet.db files that are already loaded into my N810?

Re: Maemo Mapper files
Maemo Mapper can use different sources for map and in particular GoogleMaps. Those maps are images.
Wayfinder use vector maps ... What you can do is use MaemoMapper to download Maps for the area you're interested in while being connected and before being on the road |
Re: Maemo Mapper files
Yep, different maps altogether. MM can't use the Wayfinder maps, but it's easy to download maps for MM, through MM itself.

Re: Maemo Mapper files
Because MM doesn't use vector maps, it cannot plan routes without a connection to the internet either, just FYI.
Basically MM is really just "paint" with different "backgrounds". This is an extraordinarily handy feature, however it makes it pretty awful for in-car navigation. |
Re: Maemo Mapper files
Thanks to everyone for your responses. So, let's say that I'm going on vacation traveling around Spain. Can I download the whole country in MM street maps before I leave the US so that I can plan routes as I travel without an internet connection? If yes, where would I find these maps to download?

Re: Maemo Mapper files
No way to download all the maps u need once and for all, I am afraid, all u can do is to browse and then cache all the region u r going to before u get off. So you can get maps from ur cache while offline. Mind you, Google made a traffic limit for continuous map download from one IP. That's is to say, it's not easy to download even a city. BTW, all the best for ur trip.

Re: Maemo Mapper files
What are you using for the destination and start? There are radio buttons for Use GPS location, Use end of route, and for inputting an address. If you leave the radio button for one of the others set, you can't put in an address, you're still telling it to use whatever is checked. I think Use end of route is the default, and if you don't already have a route, then you can't use the end of nothing. If you don't have a GPS connected, you can't use that, either. To give it an address, you need to set the bottom button, Origin, and then fill in the address.

Re: Maemo Mapper files
I checked the radio button 'Origin' so that I can plan a route on a pre-loaded map without a GPS or internet connection. Also, what's the 'error parsing gpx file'? I tried opening downloaded Google street maps (with winmapper on my pc) and continually get this error. And, MM continually locks up. Can't figure why everyone raves about MM! I have never been more frustrated with an app. I have never been able to do any more than download a route with a GPS & internet connection.
