I did try downloading maps in a separate thread (see tiles.py) -- but disabled it because the threads refused to die when the program closed (not sure how you interrupt a urllib.urlretrieve) and left you unable to close the program. Maybe someone who knows python threads could re-enable it and see what's wrong. It will also have an option to tell it your connectivity (not sure if there's anything global to openmoko), basically: * no network; don't use any maps not in cache * expensive network; download only what you absolutely need * free network; download anything you think you might want along with the usual download options * download maps between here and my destination (with a very granular route) * download maps for x km around my destination * download maps for x km around some complicated city that I have to drive through on the way to my destination
