Maverick uses getExternalStorageDirectory() function to get location of SD card. Android currently have no way to select between internal and external SD cards, I’ll need to add a manual selection for maps folder location.

Hi,

As we all know, if you download any quantity of detailed map tiles the storage requirement racks up quickly, and most phones only have a limited storage (especially once you put a few apps on). Is there anyway to move the folder structure with the tiles to my external SD card? I put 32GB sd card in the phone thinking I could use that for maps but I’m unable to find any option in the app (or any ini file) that i can point at “mntsdcardextrernal_sd”. I bough the paid version based on a user comment saying move to SD was now available, but that seems to only moves the app, the tile folder still gets created on the internal SD card. I’m wondering if this is actually a bug, and that move to SD should re-point the folders too?

Help!
Tim

DON’T buy this app! The lite version is awesome but the paid version is bogus. Promised features don’t work and support is just a pretend email address. Save your money and stick to the free version!

I have this app for quite a while and likes it very much for its offline mode. The only regret I have is the database format used which is plain raw filesystem. Unless you have formatted your SD card with small chunk size, *you will waste a lot of SD space* and quickly run out of space. I would really appreciate a better, more compact, format such as a sqlite DB. I know that Mobile Atlas Creator can already export in this format for other apps. Any chance to have this in future release ?

This is more for offroad type usage so hence no turn by turn/voice guidance.

You can import Google data by using a convertor utility to turn the KML into a GPX file format.

Get your maps using Mobile Atlas Creator:-)

This app is actually very usable and I think a giveaway for $5!!!!!

I’m new to Android, Maverick etc. so may be just incompetence ;)

I have just downloaded the light version 1.2.0 (on HTC Desire). Things seem to be quite simple, and I’ve managed to figure out how most things work. I am using the OSM mapnik maps, and have a couple of problems with waypoints.

1) If I add a way point (pressing green flag) it appears in the waypoint list, but if I then delete it from the waypoint list, it is still visible on the screen.

2) If I select geocaching, and work through the process to add the geocache waypoint it doesn’t appear anywhere. All looks as expect until you return to the Maverick map screen, but at that point there is no sign of the waypoint :(.

Marshall : Dear Jeff, Can you advise me on adding .kmz overlay into Maverick?

I'm also interested!

Dear Jeff,
Can you advise me on adding .kmz overlay into Maverick? I have 2 overlays that I have converted into .kmz that I would like to view on my Nexus One as overlays on top of the other map choices. One is small and simple: vector data. The other one is a geologic map of 80mb.

Can I add a new map into Maverick? (from the geologic map) Can I make an overlay from my vector data?

Please let me know your thoughts and advise. Thanks for the great program.
