Even though I unpacked the entire USA in /andnav2/tiles/, it still goes online to download maps. There's no setting to just tell it to use offline maps. 2. Every time I try to "Navigate here", it force closes. 3. It requires the GPS to be on at startup. What if I just want to look around on the map, or change settings? It should require GPS only when needed. As for Windows GPS navigation programs, I haven't found any that surpasses <a href="http://wiki.dandascalescu.com/reviews/software/pocketpc/gps_navigation#Mapopolis_4.71_Final" rel="nofollow">Mapopolis</a> in functionality and straightforwardness of use. Unfortunately, Mapopolis is no longer being developed. I really wanted to love AndNav2 because it uses and can contribute back to OpenStreetMaps, but there are were a few major problems:

I mean, I don't even look at it lately. It's to the point where I am kind of (inadvertently) being downright rude to some people, but I can't play with all the fun toys and respond to requests and stuff like I used to be able to. : ( Hum. That paragraph really had nothing to do with anything, did it? Heh. :)
