MGMaps 4 tiles per file

This video shows Mobile GMaps 1.38.04 running on SonyEricsson K750i. Initially, I run it with an offline cache configured as 1 tile per file. Of course, it works pretty fast.
Then I exit, swap the memory card with another one containing a 4 tiles per file cache, and I run MGMaps again. The speed is now very slow, and most tiles don't show up. I've even waited 5-10 minutes (not shown in this video) but the tiles didn't load.
I know my phone is not "new", but I also know that Java sucks, and JME sucks even more.
(Oh, and I know I've mispronounced some words.)

(update: recent versions have fixed this bug)

Fiz um mapa menor ! o download foi muito rapido .. fui olhar as pastas e elas estavam vazias. =/ O que eu faço ? vi algo de baixar um framework que nao deu certo .. ajuda ?

[denilsonsa]

Procura por informações no forum do mgmaps. Meu palpite é que seu IP foi bloqueado por tentar baixar os mapas. Para isso, não há solução.

do you need a data plan to use MGMaps? or can you use it offline?

[denilsonsa]

Yes, you can use it offline.

puedes decirme como hicistes eso???

[denilsonsa]

Look for MGMaps homepage. Then... well... just learn how to use it. Maybe it might not be very intuitive, but all information you need is there.

1. "x tiles per map"? I guess it is "x tiles per file". That is related on how the maps are stored on disk. "32 tiles per file" means that each file on disk will contain at most 32 map tiles.

This video has been made so I could show a bug with this software to the software author.

2. Voice navigation? I don't think so. Road direction? It depends on what map service you use, I guess. Hey, take a look at its site. I think you will understand better.
