Re: [Preview] Sygic Mobile Maps 10

If you are already running version 8.16 then I wouldn't bother using these maps. Otherwise if you accept the risk, backup everything and give it ago.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic

"bzcat" is equivalent to "bunzip2 -c" or "bzip2 -d -c" on my install. See "bzip2 --help".

It just saves a little typing.
