One of the best GIS apps out there, commercial or free. It keeps my N800 relevant, even as Freemantle takes the limelight.

I've been using it for 1 year 1/2, it's stable, easy to use, quick and with OSM cached I am never lost ! Very nice work.

The application in the sense of amount of use cases make five stars, but the UI forces me to take away two stars... It's super to be able to carry "cached OSM" (or whatever) in your pocket, offline, but using the application just requires a stylus or keyboard (besides the global problem of not being able to push menu button when lid is closed - fixed in N900, thankfully) makes it pretty much set-up-and-watch -type of application. And, it just might be me, but the SQLite backend seems slower... Might just be me using external memory card...

I hope we have this N900'lized, or perhaps even a sibling project!

It works and is useable, so thx for this project. Raster maps however are much bigger than vector maps, therefore offline usage is limited to smaller areas.

THE tablet application, probably the most recognizable killer app. QMapper is also good if you don't mind the loss of a few functions for a better, more polished look.

Best app on N810, but the User Guide needs to be read. The GUI is not intuitive...

Hello,

i think this tool is great. But i also have some questions? Are Marco Polo Grosser Reiseplaner Maps supported? When i select Germany as map/area to download and i choose the detail level 3 (i think the best for car in navigation) then the map is about 300 GB big.? Why are the maps so big? I can download german maps of OSM for navit. And there are about 200 MB big.. What is my mistake? Does anybody has experience with downloading maps especially for navigation? Is it right that you are not able to calculate a route offline with maemo mapper. You have to download the specified route?

Thanks very much for your answers!..

One of the best moving app applications I've ever seen! (and also the first one I've ever used on a handheld, quite impressive).

Great app, I hope it will be ported to Fremantle, despite the commercial map applications that Fremantle may have.

The best N810 application, apart from the browser. Some of the dialogs are a bit complex, but the functionality is astounding.

When I open MM, I get a screen that says"Failed to open map database for repository: file is encrypted or is not a database Downloaded maps will not be cached. "OK'ing this screen brings up another, with "Failed to open map database for repository Downloaded maps will not be cached." Can someone interpret? Worked fine before OS upgrade.

One of the half-dozen applications that I use all the time. Key feature is the ability to download maps when you're connected then go and navigate yourself around when you're not connected.

The program falls down in its complexity and lack of tips. It took me some weeks to begin using the program at all and even now after one year I don't know what a lot of the functions do.

It's also overly complicated for simple tasks. Showing your GPS position involves a hell of a lot of control with the pointer - difficult when you're bouncing up and down on the Karakoram. Changing maps and adding/viewing Points of Interest should also be easier.

Also panning is difficult: it's too easy to lose your position completely when you're just attempting to pan the screen incrementally.

Also I'd appreciate options for deleting downloaded maps that I'm not going to use again.
