Warning about using mgmaps offline!!!

Now where did I see that before? Hmmmm...... Its true phones on the eternity's site are dropping like flies because of the large amount of files in the map sructure. You have been warned to keep them smaller than 100mb. But to be safe I wouldnt risk it at all.

For more info see the mgmaps forum at mgmaps.com.

I had the same problem with my phone. Luckily it was within the first week of having it so ATT gave me a new one  I tried putting maps on that were over 1GB. I'm just glad to know the cause of it now. Makes me less worried about it getting bricked again, as I won't try that again lol.

Thanks for your post about Google Maps with working GPS, Agoattamer. Between Google Maps and Amaze, I'm pretty set. It's too bad about mgmaps, though. I would have liked to have offline maps for when I'm out of network. In that case I guess I'm out of luck. Not worth the risk of bricking it again lol

Ah I didn't know that. That's strange. You would think once it locked on a satellite it would be set. Oh well. I hardly go out of network anyway.

I was also thinking that loading from the memory card would be faster. Before it bricked up on me, the maps were actually loading much slower than getting them from the data connection. Not sure if this is because the maps were too large in file size or because the phone was about to crash.

i basically gave up with the storing maps on your phone. it took too long to get them made and once you got it on your phone you realized that it wasent that detailed so now i use it as a compass and also for the speed so i can amaze my friends when im in the back seat of their car and can tell how fast they are going just by looking at my phone

How much bigger was the map? Have you tried it yet?

Our phone doesnt have a compass in it.

Wasnt sure. He said a compass. And you still have to be moving for the compass to work. Not very effective unless you hold the phone exactly in one postion and move in a staight line.

its funny because you talk about using the sun for direction and i have always done that. i live in rural TN and i hunt and i always navigate by using the sky.

its funny how more and more technology just stupifies humans.
