I installed 2.6 , then deleted all the repos that it picked up in map manager. Then uninstalled, deleted all the files I could find and re-installed. Working now with SQlite db's but Google Sat and Terrain still don't work even from the "download repos" at least for Sat.
cheers
Would there be any possibility to have a menu entry to browse POI's that you can just tap on and go to without having to enter an address or anything?
You should be able to do this with the "Browse POIs" dialog - just don't enter an address. (You may have to set a GPS position for it to work without an address - just tap-and-hold somewhere on the screen and select "Tap Point | Set as GPS Position".)
Or are you describing a different kind of functionality?
Google Sat is no longer working for me also. At a zoom factor of 10 it saves a 96kb size file that only gives a black display. This is after deleting the 70mb file with non-updated data. I also get the message "182 maps failed to download".
