Vector maps in off-line mode
Hi...
I bought "LocusPro" + "addon Vector maps" for Navigation and for Travelling in other countries (Holidays) in OFF-LINE Mode.
Now I have some Questions.
1.) My next holiday is in some weeks and I will go to Thailand. I have downloaded the vector maps but I can not read the text in the map because the language is in Thai. I need to change the language complete to English or switching the language between Thai and English. -> Example: on zoom 100km the big city`s are all in Thai even Bangkok.
2.) How can I search for cities in off-line mode and is there a possibility for auto-identification the names I type in?
3.) Is there a possibility to see the whole map of the earth in the first & second zoom level, because it is easier to find the country.
4.) If I zoom to Thailand, the coastline (water to land) is not showing correct. Please fix.
I hope you can give me a quick help, because my holiday will start in some weeks.
My Handy is an Samsung Galaxy S (I9000)
Thanks

The same question
Ad 1.)
I guess this is something Menion won`t fix himself.
However, I expect this as a feature in the next version of the underlying mapsforge library.
Please check http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/wi...
In particular have a look at http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/is...
Ad 2.)
I fear this is also a not yet supported feature of mapsforge
Ad 3.)
I appreciate that Locus provides such a map but due to efficient information storage of vector maps I hope this is possible to quite a number of the lower zoom levels.
You should add this as a new item in the section "Ideas".
Ad 4.)
Again I think this is a problem of mapsforge rather than Locus

Thanks Tommy,
perfect answer, there`s nothing more I can say. I personally hope, that main part of these issues will be fixed with new version of MapsForge library (probably at start of March)

Ref 3): When starting with Locus and travelling around several countries I experienced the same need for having a "world map" to faster locate regions and then change to local maps there (having downloaded locally in advance). Therefore I have created a bitmap world map up to level 7 via MOBAC, locate and zoom into "my" required region there - and then switch to the local vector map again.

Re #3) adding to Uwe: I did the same up to level 10, which gave a 1.3 GB map.
Well, level 6-10 did exclude the arctic regions S&N and level 10 is without the oceans.
