The offline maps I made for Rmaps and Maverick turned out to be a huge help for finding my way around town on foot or the middle of nowhere in a car. I ended up using the more fully-featured Maverick (paid version), which includes saving of waypoints and routes, as well as several navigation screens. However, Maverick really needs to support sqlite format. Copying several tens of thousands of individual tiles to your SD card is just stupid. Depending on how your SD card is formatted, it could really balloon the total file size, not to mention that it just takes forever to copy 100,000 individual files relative to one file of the same total size.

Good to have you back! How was your trip?
ReplyDeleteThanks and thanks for looking after things here! No fires to put out - wish I could say the same for everything ;-) While it was long and tiring, the trip was good and productive.
ReplyDeleteOne of the fires to put out is purchasing a new server asap. email you about that. (I came back to it with the case open and a room fan pointed at the cpu) :roolseyes:
