but I was wondering can maemo mapper use the same OpenStreetMaps that Navit does cause those maps are only about 1.5 GB here is the link to the wiki with the info:

http://navit.sourceforge.net/wiki/in...OpenStreetMaps

Sorry if the answer has already been posted, I have read all the post on maemo mapper and Navit on the board and maybe I missed the answer

If you're asking about the osm XML format, then no, Maemo Mapper does not render vector street data. All it does is draw raster data on the screen. The idea is that off-device servers do a much better job of rendering than something like the N800.

Re: Maps for Maemo Mapper

anybody see any issues in downloading all the maps and then using imagemagick to compress the images as jpgs? Will maemo mapper still read the maps if they are jpgs? I have a 4gig sd card in my n800, so I think I could get all of the us on there.

The maps are already stored in their native formats (usually PNG), so no, compressing them further will not help.
