One problem i had was in creating the symbolic link. I already had a folder called MapTiles, and this was stopping the ln command from creating the link. I renamed the existing folder (just in case I stuffed something) and ran the command again and it worked like a charm. thanks all Thanks Scott et al. Just got this working on itouch 3.1.2.

Use from Bookmarks instead - otherwise Maps will lock to this Directions every time it loads even a new Directions is compiled. 1) Generate Directions, then exit Maps 2) Backup Directions.plist located in /private/var/mobile/Library/Maps to a folder in iPhone (via SSH or Mobile Terminal) 3) When certain Directions.plist is needed, just copy the backup file back to Maps default folder at /private/var/mobile/Library/Maps using Mobile Terminal (apparently you want it out of wifi coverage!) Steps using Mobile Terminal Commands to use: 1) Open Mobile Terminal 2) If the backup folder is called "HometoDownTown" in Directory "private", go to this backup folder, type: cd /private/HometoDownTown 3) Copy Directions.plist to the Maps default location, type: cp Directions.plist /private/var/mobile/Library/Maps Done!

I was able to use WinSCP to put the 3.0 preview version of the app on my ipod touch as scottwaun instructed, but now I don't know where to type those commands. Is there some command prompt I'm supposed to open to type those in or something? Sorry, this is probably a really stupid question, but all of this is brand new to me. Also, as a side note, if and when I'm able to get maps onto my ipod touch in this fashion, will I be able to enter gps coordinates (while offline of course) and see where that is on the maps?

Wiki page commented on by scottwaun - How to get this working with 3.1.2 iPhone (step by step) 1) Install the 3.0 preview version of the app by downloading the following link, and copying to your iPhone over SSH or SCP (I assume you know how to do this) http://iphoneofflinemap.googlecode.com/files/OfflineMaps_3.0_PREVIEW_iphoneos-arm.deb 2) Install by typing "deb -i OfflineMaps_3.0_PREVIEW_iphoneos-arm.deb" from an SSH prompt (I assume you know how to do this, too) 3) Respring (or reboot) to make the app icon appear 4) Run the following commands over SSH: (to make it work on iPhone 3.1.2) cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches ln -s Maps/MapTiles/ MapTiles 4) Install the latest version of GMDL from http://www.in7ane.com/psp/ 5) Download the map cache, following these instructions: Once downloaded and running the program navigate to the area that you want to cache and click on the " Preview 1x", button to see what it would look like. In the Preview it doesnt matter if there is alot of surrounding area that you do not want on your map or if the area you want isnt centered in the preview you can fix all this in the next step. After you are satisfied with your preview click on "Download The Map", and make a new folder where you want to save the temp map files and select it, (A folder on desktop is the easiest). It will now break the map u selected into tiles and you can uncheck the parts you do not want to make the map size smaller. You should also uncheck the 1x and 2x Zoom boxes because as you can see in the size preview they will dramatically reduce the size and they are useless as you cannot see any extra detail. Once you have done that click on the massive selection button on the top and let it download. Once it has downloaded click in the ->iPhone Button and click on "Process". Once that has finished you have created your Cache File. 6) When you finishing make your offline map, please make sure that this folder must include with following files: MapTiles.sqlitedb: the google map caches database com.apple.Maps.plist: the iphone map coordinate 7) Please put the map folder into your iphone at /var/mobile/Media/Maps ,if "Maps" dictionary is not exist, then you should create one. using this script "mkdir -p /var/mobile/Media/Maps", the title of the map folder should not be more than 4 letters, for example: NY or LA ,don't use NewYork or Los Angeles 8) Launch OfflineMaps, and you should see the map that you just created. Choose the map, and select "copy" (not link) 9) When this completes, you should be able to quit the app, and it should display your map name as a badge. 10) Fire up the maps app, and enjoy your map without a network connection. Bookmarks appear to work OK, but I'm not sure how to get routes saved into OfflineMaps yet. Anyone else get that working?

It would just need to run sasalove's command (above) to fix things. Another good thing to implement would be a setup directory. If anyone has checked out OffMaps, it seems to be a much easier in app system. Problem is, it costs $2.99 in the AppStore.

30HowTo (How to use OM on iPhone 3.0.) Wiki page commented on by scottwaun - How to get this working with 3.1.2 iPhone (step by step) 1) Install the 3.0 preview version of the app by downloading the following link, and copying to your iPhone over SSH or SCP (I assume you know how to do this) http://iphoneofflinemap.googlecode.com/files/OfflineMaps_3.0_PREVIEW_iphoneos-arm.deb 2) Install by typing "deb -i OfflineMaps_3.0_PREVIEW_iphoneos-arm.deb" from an SSH prompt (I assume you know how to do this, too) 3) Respring (or reboot) to make the app icon appear 4) Run the following commands over SSH: (to make it work on iPhone 3.1.2) cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches ln -s Maps/MapTiles/ MapTiles 4) Install the latest version of GMDL from http://www.in7ane.com/psp/ 5) Download the map cache, following these instructions: Once downloaded and running the program navigate to the area that you want to cache and click on the " Preview 1x", button to see what it would look like. In the Preview it doesnt matter if there is alot of surrounding area that you do not want on your map or if the area you want isnt centered in the preview you can fix all this in the next step. After you are satisfied with your preview click on "Download The Map", and make a new folder where you want to save the temp map files and select it, (A folder on desktop is the easiest). It will now break the map u selected into tiles and you can uncheck the parts you do not want to make the map size smaller. You should also uncheck the 1x and 2x Zoom boxes because as you can see in the size preview they will dramatically reduce the size and they are useless as you cannot see any extra detail. Once you have done that click on the massive selection button on the top and let it download. Once it has downloaded click in the ->iPhone Button and click on "Process". Once that has finished you have created your Cache File. 6) When you finishing make your offline map, please make sure that this folder must include with following files: MapTiles.sqlitedb: the google map caches database com.apple.Maps.plist: the iphone map coordinate 7) Please put the map folder into your iphone at /var/mobile/Media/Maps ,if "Maps" dictionary is not exist, then you should create one. using this script "mkdir -p /var/mobile/Media/Maps", the title of the map folder should not be more than 4 letters, for example: NY or LA ,don't use NewYork or Los Angeles 8) Launch OfflineMaps, and you should see the map that you just created. Choose the map, and select "copy" (not link) 9) When this completes, you should be able to quit the app, and it should display your map name as a badge. 10) Fire up the maps app, and enjoy your map without a network connection. Bookmarks appear to work OK, but I'm not sure how to get routes saved into OfflineMaps yet. Anyone else get that working?
