Yup...just under 5GB. That includes several levels of zoom all the way down to street detail. I got the map tiles using the GMDL application. You can find the link for it on OfflineMap's site here (on the right side of the page).

I don't recommend getting anything done for now though because of the FW2.2 update. There are some changes going on that the OfflineMaps' developers are still trying to identify. I will resume testing the cache I've downloaded once the issues have been sorted out and the results will be posted here of course. If successful, I was thinking of offering to help burn the data on to dvd discs for anyone who wants it. It would save a few days download...but yea we'll see how things develop.

5gb? tot 8gb was enough bfore.. but if ure really wanna download this.. better have a bigger capacity lah....

sheesh... 5 gb

mmhmm.. 5GB is huge I know. I'm not even sure the iPhone will be able to load that big a cache.

i think maverick dl all in different files, my idea is, only load in the file i need or when needed. let say i going penang, then only i load in penang maps.

mmm bad news for the West Malaysia map. GMDL will not convert the file because I guess it's too damn big. I will try to see what alternative I can come up with.

In other news though, for those who have updated to the 2.2 firmware and need to use OfflineMaps, the existing cached maps that was posted on page 2 of this thread will not work anymore. This is because Apple has changed the tile square fragments from 64x64 to 128x128 size. There is a conversion tool though available now. I will post up the tutorial for that in a bit so those looking to make their own cached maps can do so.

I am also in the process of making a new KlangValley cached map for the fw2.2 that can be used with OfflineMaps which I will also post up in a bit.

Check back sometime after 9 tonight. Cheers.

Yea I was thinking something along the same line. I'll think of that later. Will start with KlangValley first.

Tried to use the gps to generate the routing.....and it works. Testing done at my office in USJ7 , routing to my house in USJ20. It gives turn by turn directions to destination.

@ Maverick Wil


thank you

@nokia2003

Not a problem.

I think I might go with this. I'll have one cache for the entire West Malaysia starting somewhere around the Thai border and ending at Singapore but only between 128x and 512x zoom levels for a big picture. Then I'll create caches for each state for a map with more detailed zoom.

What do you guys think? Practical?

i think you better go by state then city is much more better...

I had tried out GPS and I found out the "Wording" on the top doesn't change from Page 1 to Page 2 automatically when I turn to the next turn. ( Always at the 1st "Wording" even I have been far away from starting point ). Any advice ??


Here what I do to set for direction on my iPhone FW2.2 ....
1) First, I wait until it have triangulate my current posiiton ( until small blue dot shown )
2) Then, I'll go for Direction page to set from "Current Location" to my Destination.
3) It will loading and shows the route where it will guide me.
4) Then, I shall press "Start" and it will zoom in to my starting point.
5) Follow by pressing the button on the bottom left corner, just to make sure when the blue dot shall remain at the centre screen with the map are moving as I drive.
* Miss out this step, and you will see the blue dot will move in the map, and soon it will out of the sight as the map never move.
6) Then, the only abnormal is I supposed the "Word" should also change to next when I make next turn in.

Any step that I have miss out ?

There are aGPS and gps. For those iphone 1G users they can use aGPS which required internet access for positioning. However the position accuracy is very lousy.

For iphone 3G users, u can use the GPS feature without any gprs or wifi connection.

For the route guiding i think we put our faith on those 3rd party developer instead of waiting from apple. Im using a appstore offline map on my iphone in china which u can look for restaurant, bank, public facilities and bla bla bla, route guiding for public transport or driving, traffic flow.... Gt anything but just lacking of GPS function.

why my GPS on my iphone doesnt work ?i've been trying to find a way out ,been filling the start : and End : with serdang and KLCC ,but both of them doesnt work,they said they could determine my location,or do i have to go to the roadside for that ?or Digi doesnt support ?then it said i cant connect to the internet,but there was one warnin from my cydia,but dont know whats that,coz i dont dare to go too far,am scare other prob with show up .pls reply me in PM ,as i hardly can find back the thread that i was in,thanks

i be good user today not shooting you by not reading the manual.

1)put ur thumb to any app and stay for few sec, once it shaking, drag it around, you can drag any app u like to bottom 4. or rearrange any apps according to your liking.

Guys.. xGPS will Turn your iPhone into a True GPS device with Turn-By-Turn Voice Navigation. It will be release in Cydia at 20 Feb 2009... Watch the pre release Video.. The result is impressive ! I am sure many will happy about this..

iphone support garmin xt o not?

i wonder is this Xgps Voice Turn free? i can't seem to find any info on that.

nope. not at the moment at least.
because garmin uses its own maps and the Aifontriji only allows its GPS chip to be used in Google Maps so far.

Not yet Bro.. It is coming soon in Cydia.. It says 20 Feb

The voice damn scary la.

This is interesting but the load on demand map (googlemap) which drives ur $ with 3G still a headache issue..

Really cross finger some developer done it.....tomtom(Apple say no) or Garmin (have their own phone why Iphone)

U can try xgps 1.1. And compare with others like offline maps etc....
