From the screenshots it looks like the openstreetmap hiking and cycling maps have to be installed, but in the downloadable routing maps for some regions, I noticed there are car maps only, whereas other regions have car/cycle/pedestrian maps. Am I correct to assume that: - for routing, one needs the downloadable map data with the right symbol (i.e. with a car only, the Swiss map data will not allow routing for pedestrians/cyclists) - the map type (osm, cycle, hike and bike, etc) has influence only on the visible maps / downloaded tiles
If so, how/where does one get pedestrian maps of Switzerland (perhaps just main cities, OSM is not all that good outside major places) and Cycle maps of the Netherlands?
Next question: is the elevation data downloaded once for the area one is looking at? If I want elevation data for all of Switzerland, how can I do that? Or is that a bad idea?
On the Virtual Globe, I can change the setting to OSM, to be able to zoom more (default view Atlas won't allow to zoom much), but each time I go out and come back in, it's back to Atlas - any way to make OSM map view permanent?
The offline data list is very long (which is great) and slow to scroll, it would be good if there would be a way to scroll through it faster, or have a nested way to get to the right point (continents/subcontinents, then countries (then regions/cities).
If I search for something, and get multiple hits, the red markers that appear don't go away anymore. They sometimes shift to the wrong place when for instancet going to routing view then back to virtual globe... When touched, a popup with the found name shows up, and the word route. I can't seem to make that go away just by tapping next to it.
Even when setting offline mode, I get the request for internet connection a lot...
Even with the bugs that I encountered, I would say that this the most impressive, coolest app for the N9. What is missing is vector map drawing; I hope that gap can soon be filled.
Also, the openbusmap data would be cool.
