Yea I get exactly how this would be important to you in that way. I'm ecstatic that you will finally take the leap of faith into jb-ing your aifontriji haha but at this moment no...you cannot use the route function at all because of FW2.2 compatibility issues. I'm not sure if you can use it in tandem with 3G when the fix does arrive but I will find out. Unfortunately for now though as what I've read, the GMDL developer will not be free to work on his program until the end of December 08 so a solution whatever the case may be is still a few months away.

I'm sorry guys! stringfellow is still not going to jb!


ps...I totally missed your search question. The answer is No...not as I know of. The only alternative that I think Shock was refering to is that you can add POI's and custom info on a map in GDML before processing it but that would mean a hell of a lot of work. But if you do manage to manually label everything, I guess you could do a search without a connection but I can't confirm this as of now.


*tutorial has been updated slightly based on your feedback regarding zoom levels.

Taikor Maverick, i have one question

after installing the offline map cache, will everything loads faster when i use the google map when in ONLINE mode ?

hohohoho. this is GOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. need to jb >.< but as alternative to me.
I try to help u on this.

@cscheat

That depends on how fast your connection is. The areas that are covered by the offline map you have loaded into the cache will load as fast as an excellent wi-fi connection (which is pretty much instantly). Everything else not covered by the offline map will obviously load according to your connection speed.

y there is no .exe when I download the file?

@kazasho

What file are you referring to?

this
Using GMDL to Create a Custom Offline Map Cache for Your iPhone


Step 1:
Download+Install the "GMDL" program by in7ane.com from this link.

bro maverick.. by any chance u making any singapore maps?

noob question.... after install the offline map, can use it with gps??

The reason for offline map is no data will be charge while using maps so 3G , WiFi, and GPS data won't be in use.

cool...
makes my hand more itchier to upgrade 2.2...

nice tutorial.. if wanna whole malaysia. kinda big the filesize. hoho i tried whole sarawak about 400MB @@

@ feizaiII : Coolness!

@ jimnuz : Mediafire is working now. Maybe there was a que. Rapidshare has reached download limit so I'll update that in a bit tonight to a better server. Thnx for the heads up.

@ milky : Sure I'll add it to the list.

@ ahsin, Mike3300 : Actually, the GPS does work because the aifontriji itself has a built-in GPS chip that communicates with the satellites. With offline map caches however, you can only use the GPS to view where you are on the map a.k.a the blue dot. You won't be able to use search or find directions.

@ twinkles : thnx.

@ siawgu : Don't make your file size too big but from what I've been reading around, there has been no problems so far loading a 1GB file. My personal max that I tested without problems is up to 500MB. I tried a 5GB file too but that didn't quite work out.

Added on November 28, 2008, 7:12 pmI have just updated the tutorial (1st Part) on how to view offline maps. I found a way for those who do not want to jailbreak so bro stringfellow, that fix was created for you in mind. You might want to make your own maps though because you can only load one file at a time. Anything below 1GB should be fine.

ok I got it running. man this is cool. can put a map like gps. like put a point where u want to go and from where. cool.

ok some noob question

1. if I copy all (maybe I have two cache maps i.e KL and Klang valley) , does it will overlap when I using it? or when I want to use the app, only 1 map can be cache?

2. if I dont want to JB, I need to always replace the cache using a computer?

@kazasho

1. You can only use one map cache at a time.

2. Yup...or you could just create a big map. Of course file size will be much bigger but as from what I know, 1GB files do not lag up the phone in any way. 2GB files could actually also be possible but I think not more than that.

hohoho. either way, its 1 map at a time. but no jb must transfer using computer. nice. another question, how can ipod touch or iphone lag? because of many apps install? or themes? or many songs?
