Hi there,

Im on 1.1.4. Can any of you on same firmware try to point your google maps to Macau?
I can pin Macau but when I zoomed it, there's no info, no roads, no nothing. Just a plain island.

But when I point somewhere else, Kuching, London, KL, all no problem.

Im going Macau soon and I need the maps saved using Maps Offline.

Thanks guys!

Wow,first time i hear this problem...maybe you should update to 2.0 lol

oi ff8ong, don't simply poison people to upgrade.


later blood on your hands, you will have to tanggung!

oo...soli...i just joking....really sorry..

hahah i wont upgrade to 2.0 until wiki2touch is ported over.

wiki2touch is the coolest app ever. having the whole world's knowledge in your hands, makes your balls bigger

Yup,weird. Macau gives me a blank map too on my EDGE AND 3G iPhone. Maybe it is not yet covered.

oh? i thought the brain will become bigger and not the balls.

I just check mine(2.0 EDGE) I get to see the map..but not clear and full of haze...

ok...so string has tried on his i3g. guess it's universal problem.

i mean, come on, macau is a tourist hotspot! how could google be so ignorant? maybe it's policy...heh heh

edit: thanks ff8ong....any way to 'download' the map off the internet and store inside? time to do some googling...

have you tried comparing with the desktop google earth? i do notice that they are very similar (in terms of satellite images)

no i don have googlemaps on my com...and i actually need the map, not satellite images...i am backpacking in macao, gonna hold on to a real map then...

Macau is nuked when they take the picture from sattelite?

like my hometown too.... satellite map looks bad.... especially TOWN area...
so i suppose Macau map maybe like my hometown one too....

they should have updated it though....

Maybe macau is the real "Area 51" .... jeng jeng jeng (masuk music x-files)

i tink frozzbyte a bit siao edi

but yeah..try dekstop earth n see?

guys, i tried desktop google maps....also same. Phew its not iphone problem

Anyway, I use Global Map Download Tool to download the tiles from Microsoft Virtual Earth and convert it to iphone's maps tiles.

Now I have macau's map - OFFLINE!

btw how to upload that wiki2touch file to iphone, wonder why i can't modify those file with mobile finder
i m using fw 1.14
