even if you download all the maps. I think you still need an internet connection to calculate a new route.

That's fine. EDGE is fast enough to calculate a route, but not fast enough to download full maps on the go.

the way i did it is to bring up the area you want to copy-then ck the zoom levels you want and download when you have a good wifi connection. it tells you how much will download in case its more than you want

I think I get it! So If I zoom out a little to display the whole area I want maps for, then go to Maps Download, select the zoom levels I want (the area is already set due to the view I have on the screen) then download the whole area I see at all zoom levels I want. Cool. am testing it now :)

Exactly. You may not want to use the lowest zoom though as it adds the most data to the card. Depends what your needs are for that area

I got it working! I'm a fan of the display, however, I was unable to map a route today. I didn't see an address search/input option. This seems more like Google Maps with GPS overlay.

Thanks. It seems to work well :)

selecting too much data as you say is probably not a good idea.

What do you mean by "Address search/input" option? If you mean having to ability to "Go to" a particular address, that (among other things) is coming in the next version. In the meantime, there's a workaround: Download a route from the address you'd like to see to that same address (yes, both text fields - use copy/paste), then use "Go to -> Next Waypoint". That's basically what the "Go to -> Address..." feature is going to do. Yes, that means you'll need internet access to go to an address - you have to remember that Maemo Mapper is free and thus doesn't have ANY of that expensive Navteq street data, so it can't do routing or address-finding on its own. It works only with bitmap images.

Like I said, I'm used to TomTom, and having address search and all that. Hell, I've even used Nav4All and been able to search for address.

Not that I'm not appreciative of the massive amounts of work that have obviously been put into MaemoMapper. Just expressing feedback as to what I'm looking for.

I'll play some more, but at least I've got the maps thing figured out.

I there any way for Maemo Mapper to always have maps face the direction you are driving (the street always on top of your position) like other navigation systems or is this impossible because of the way the maps are downloaded? Thanks!
