Looks great. A couple of questions:<p>1) Are the maps route-able? Can I use this for turn-by-turn?<p>2) Can I download the entire world OpenStreetMap and use it with this app? For a round-the-world I'm planning, I'd like to get maps of everywhere. (For example, last time I drove from Alaska to Argentina, and I'd like to be able to use the OpenStreetMaps of everywhere in between)<p>Thanks!

Hey, great work! I'm currently working a mapping project, with smallish, customized maps. I'm wondering about your strategy for map tiling? Did OSM do it/provide an easy for you to tile the maps/download the tiles? Basically I'm looking for some software that will help me turn my own images into map tiles. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I just got back from Aruba, and would have loved to have a map (no international data plan). Could definitely see the draw.

Whats your thoughts on the app MapsWithMe? I use it and it lets me download whole countries with surprisingly good detail.

Nice! Are you planning to make an Android app?

Reading through the reviews on iTunes (which are generally positive), I noticed that there were a number of mentions of how their city/region was not on the map, and after they contacted the developer, that area was downloadable.<p>Theoretically, why isn't <i>all</i> of the geography downloadable when given certain parameters? I'm unfamiliar with how OpenStreetMaps works, so was just curious what kind of manual tweaking/map-downloading that you, the developer, have to do.
