Why do I get this error log when opening "gmapsupp.img" file? The is exported from Garmin Mapsource.

Great app. Can you make pinch zoom work?

@Mike I don’t believe so.

@Johnny I think something may have changed in the latest versions of this software. I have only tested it with version 2.0

@Robert assuming that topo map is unlocked, this tutorial should work fine with that map. Skip down to the section where you copy gmapsupp.img to your desktop and continue from there.

I'm having the problem that I can only open single tiles (when I press "open map" in OruxMaps it does not show only one map but every single tile).
I cannot create a map without tiles because it would be too large. Why doesn't this work properly?

When I connect my incredible, the directories shown are different than what I see using the oruxmaps open map command. Is there some new file protection scheme preventing me from copying files? The incredible is OS 2.1.

It is free if the maps are under 100KB a piece (ie. tiny). Otherwise you have to buy a license for $28. The appbrain website is incorrect and it should be labeled ‘demo’

http://www.navitel.md/en-navitel-price.html

” This software can be installed to your Pocket PC, but it will work in demo mode, with several limitations
(max size of opened maps is 100kb).
After you purchase the license, a special unlock key will be sent to you, which will register the program for your PDA.”

@Brandon,
You said, "buy navitel navigator", but AppBrain lists it as a free app. Am I missing something? http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=navitel+navigato...

Thanks
