map software
 

hello everyone i just want to ask you if you know any gps map software in fact the maps that exist on n900 suck i heard about a software called sygic but i'm not shure of it because i think it's no longer supported any waye do you know any good one with all countries map support and the price dosn't really matter

Thanks

Re: map software
 

check modrana. its one of the best maps app available for N900 and its still supported.

Re: map software

Re: map software
 

yes. you can cache maps from many servers like google, yahoo, open street maps.

Sygic was a non-free application that lost support a few years ago.

Re: map software
 

Yeah i see but i dosn't suppoert offline maps

Re: map software
 

Yes, it does.

Re: map software
 

modrana is best on n900 is well supported and updates ,offline maps ,many map providers etc etc there are other choices like marble navit etc.

Re: map software
 

You have to download the them in the applications settings.
Also it uses MoNav routing daemon to do offline routing.

Re: map software
 

thank you so much for the info but what i really mean by offline maping is the ability to download a country map from just one single file + i have looked in the .Imap directory and i was suprised to see that it does actually download images and i m pretty shure tha'ts a bad idea to download data cause we will get run out of space in just a few

Thank

Re: map software
 

I asked for this but currently it only supports downloading tiles around a location. Still works ok and the tiles can be stored in sqlite to reduce space.

Re: map software
 

so in other word it's hopeless so without internet conexion you just have to ask people

Re: map software
 

i think navit could be the one

Re: map software
 

No it not "hopeless"!
You have to download maps or tiles with any solution so it makes no difference. First download the tiles at home for a selected area once then you can use everything offline in that area.

Re: map software
 

but it's so limited it's not like the navit where you can download a map for a entire country

Re: map software
 

You can't (currently) download a country but you can batch-download a specific area. ModRana can do it on its own but it is generally better to use third-party solutions for that since in the former case the CPU usage gets quite high for some reason and the device can get a) unresponsive to the point it appears locked up and fool the user to rebooting it; and b) hot.
