Is it possible to use offline routing?
I mean, to be able to calculate routes while being out of Internet zone.

4 commentsLet's search offline! This is very important for iPod touch users and a great feature that makes OpenMaps much better than the default Maps app.

A record tool?
9 commentsHow about a record tool to record a track? Something similar to Trailguru would be great. Trailguru unfortunately uses Google maps and they do not display local cycleways nicely.

Required Zoom Level
4 commentsCan you give some indication as to the minimum number of tiles required to download to obtain all street labels for an area without having to do the max size download. Also, when offline, limit the zoom to not exceed the limit of the tiles loaded. Keeps from getting a blank screen.

Download maps along the routes
2 commentsI want to be able to download the map along an entire cycling route. Maybe 200meters either side of the trail. Could this be done automatically maybe by clicking on the route? 'do you want to download maps along route 4' 'yes!!'
When out of phone coverage you can still see where you are. Would also save lots of money when using overseas.

Refresh a Portion of Downloaded Map
Add your commentAfter downloading a general city map at a fairly close zoom level, there have been several major changes to the map. I'd rather not bog down the servers downloading the whole thing again. It would be awesome if there was a manual update button that would only update the current section of map in whatever downloads I have saved.

Show already downloaded maptiles
2 commentsWhen pressing the download button, it would be great to see if the currently shown map is already downloaded and if there are more tiles to download, how many there are.

Satellite images as Background
1 commentThis app would really be awesome if it could show the map on top of the yahoo images, like potlatch on the web does.
This would be similar to the hybrid view in google maps.

Add POI in offline mode then upload them later
2 commentsI just realized that you can't add POI in offline mode. The app should store the POI info for later when you do have wifi, then allow you to upload

Route altitude/inclination profile graphic for cyclists
For those whi use this app to plan the best route to bike commute to work, or for around town errands, it would be very useful to have an easy way to check the altitude/inclination profile of a route. It could be displayed in several ways. The best one is probably a graphic showing altitude or inclination along the route. It also could have an option to make the route line a different color - for instance, red when going ...more »

It also could have an option to make the route line a different color - for instance, red when going upwards, blue when going straight with little or no inclination, and green when going downwards.

Ideas for improving downloads.
I love the download feature for use without a network connection. Three further ideas for it: 1. Let me specify the shape of the download area. That would seem useful for 'long' cities along a river or at a coast. Particularly when their direction is along the short edge of the screen and a high detail level is required this could decrease the download size and the amount of storage space required. 2. I find it hard ...more »
1 commentI love the download feature for use without a network connection. Three further ideas for it:

Particularly when their direction is along the short edge of the screen and a high detail level is required this could decrease the download size and the amount of storage space required.
2. I find it hard to get a feeling for the parts of the map I have already downloaded. Perhaps some overlays over the map indicating the border and detail of the downloaded tiles would be helpful.
3. I find the slider for selecting the Download detail level a bit hard to use because my finger tends to obscure the numbers displayed above the slider which makes it hard to read them while changing them. Perhaps a alight rearrangement could improve that?

Download vectors, not tiles
We should be downloading and caching vector data, not pre-rendered bitmap tiles. Vector data would consume far less local storage, and would make local route calculations possible. There is a precedent for this on the Android platform with OneStepAhead's MapDroyd & NavDroyd applications. This app is the closest I've seen to that class of proper/robust offline mapping program. Then biggest shortcoming of OpenMap is dealing ...more »

Deleting downloaded offline Maps should be faster
4 commentsDeleting a downloaded Map for offline usage takes about 1 Minute per second. For a 80 MB Barcelona Map i had to wait and leave the App open for almost 8 minutes.

Selective Clear Cache
Add your commentThere is no way to delete the temporary cache (the one which is deleted after 7 days) without losing the permanent one (the one obtained from the download feature) right now.
Wouldn't it be useful to be able to clear the temporary cache separately from the permanent cache?
