In any case, I'm happy with raster images and do not have any motivation to sacrifice anti-aliased beauty by trying to modify Maemo Mapper to support vector data. Maemo Mapper is GPL, though, so feel free to contribute if you wish.
Second that!!!! I'm very happy with this app, it's my favorite and other then for maybe some usability enhancements, the fundamental app doesn't and shouldn't change at all.
fair enough, wasn't even sure if it was possible (was hoping though) ahh well
I'm not saying it's impossible, and I didn't mean to dash anyone's hopes or aspirations to do it. I'm just saying that there's a tradeoff here between pretty maps that take up a lot of space and quick-and-dirty vector renderings that don't. With a little more horsepower, we could get something close to TomTom, but no matter how much CPU they put in the Nokia 770, the on-the-fly renderings will never be as good-looking as Google's pre-rendered PNGs, so the tradeoff will always exist.
Partly, I was trying to provide justification for why I'm not going to try to implement it in Maemo Mapper.
P.S. For the record, I don't have a data plan, or a cell phone at all, and at the exhorbitant rate these cell plans go for, I probably never will, so I'm in the same boat as you. I bought a 1 GB memory card, and I used to fill it to the brim with maps, but then I traded them in for a bunch of my seinfeld episodes, and now I only download maps as needed (e.g. using "Download Along Route" when I'm going on a trip).
I haven't been on these forums for a while, so I still have the old version of my 770 and MaemoMapper. I'll be upgrading soon, but I was just wondering if it's possible to some how modify the routes that MaemoMapper gives you?
can someone test a new version poi for mm? Changes:
- fix locale problem ("," as decimal separator)
- new option: Edit poi, for editing label, description, category and delete

Hi, I was able to try it on Sardine but it only gave a segfault. On standard IT2006 it works well, although I would suggest adding a slightly larger "fuzz factor" when selecting a POI to edit/delete so you don't have to be so exact in your aim. It would be difficult to select points in a moving car for example. Turning the selected POI red or another color so you are sure which one you are working with would also be nice.
Good work!

I found better metod handling selecting point. Need some test; I'll publish solution in this week. Thanks.
this is may sound pretty dumb, yet I have to ask. Do you have to be online to retreive maps from the flash memory? Also can dn load let's say Chicago in all the zoom levels & save them to a memory card & retreive them w/out being online to see all the zoom levels? thanks
