Well, where I'm waiting for my N810 I try Maemo Mapper 2.6.2 with my N770 OS2006. So I'd like to load some maps I can use with N770 and N810 later. Because I think it should be easier to download the maps on PC and copy to the IT I have tried WinMapper (updated 03.19.2009). After a short time I got a file named "-Google Street.db" and moved it to the IT. On MM I created a new map repository with the new file as cache file. But I only get a black map. There are some special steps needed?
Regards,
Frank

Having lots of problems with WinMapper(03.19.2008). First of all, the file it saves has a db extension. Is that the right one for sqlite in Maemomapper?
Next, I'm downloading Google Street, zoom levels 4, 7, 10, 13 for the whole US. My initial attempts were mentioned above. My third & fourth attempts have resulted in Windows throwing up the "Lock Computer" dialog (after hours of downloading on a slow broadband), which I've never seen before. When I click OK, Windows gives me a thread initialization error for winmapper. I try to open Task Manager and I get an application failed to start error . I can try to be more precise, but it certainly seems like runaway resource usage. And after all that, my "~Google Street.db" file hardly grew at all.
Maybe I should follow GeraldKo's advice, but I hate to tie up my n810 (OS2008) with such a large download and possibly overflow my memory card (I don't trust Maemomapper's download size estimates). Thanks to any who can shed light &/or assist.

Frank, I think you're making life hard for yourself. It's really easy to download maps directly into MM -- have you tried it?

Yes I've tried it and it works good - if I load only a small area. But I want to cache whole Germany with zoom levels 8,10,12,14 on VE Hybrid and Google Streets and some areas with levels 4 and 6 too.
For saver work I download all levels separately (to one cache file).
Well, 12 and 14 are fast without trouble. But on lower levels MM is closing itself after short time of download. (all on N770 OS2006)
Maybe I should wait for my N810 and try it again.
Thx & regards,
Frank

Either way you are likely to get the same results using Googles repositories. Many report that they do not work anymore and return just blank pages. When I try one I get the same results.
...
Your best bet is to use the VE or Yahoo repositories and down load just one zoom level at a time using the tablet. I also imagine that requests are logged by their servers and large hits could get their attention. VE and Yahoo might then do what Google has apparently done, and somehow block our access.
