maps not working on firmware 3.0

[alex]

maps not working on firmware 3.0. after clicking 'link', offlinemaps
just exits/crashes.

[Chapyn]

Same problem :(

[Mahmoud]

same problem, i hope there will be an update for OfflineMaps, and this
is not a dead project! Anyway, it is my favourite app, good work!

[Sparky]

Same problem here too.. Using jailbroken 3.0 firmware.. Everything was
smooth with firmware 2.2.1

[Jeff Chen]

Actually, that's the link method not working. I tried moving the
maptile file into the original Caches directory and the Maps
application worked fine (like the "Copy" method we used before).

We need to figure out how the link method is no longer working.

I tried creating the link manually and it failed as well =(

[Santiago]

Hi! Where is the "original Caches directory"?
thanks

[Victor Mateos]

private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/MapTiles

[yugdiputs]

i tried it too and got the same problem as you guys. i've been trying
different workarounds since i upgraded to os 3.0 but nothing has
worked. like what jeff said, l think there's a problem with the
linking.

I really hope they update this app. i rely on it pretty heavily.

[Mahmoud]

I tried out the copy method, and it's still working, though you can
use just one map on-the-go, you have to ssh to copy other maps to the
folder.
Anyway, it's a lifesaver, Jeff, thank you!

[Alex Thomas]

Sure

/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/MapTiles

You have to replace whatevers in there with the map file

When you say the map file you mean MapTiles.sqlitedb ? I am doing this
but it's not working :(
Back in the days of 2.xx OS I had an other file together with
MapTiles.sqlitedb, the "com.apple.Maps.plist". Should I copy this one
somewhere too?

Whenever I copy the MapTiles.sqlitedb (145 MBs size) inside the /
private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/MapTiles and refresh the folder
contents, the size is automatically changed to a MapTiles.sqlitedb
file 8 Kb in size. I assume that the system does not accept the large
file I am trying to put it and creates one on its own. Any idea why
it's doing this?

[Alex Thomas]

Delete the file that's in there first, then copy your map file over
Once done remember not to open maps with Internet connection or it
might get erased
I don't think the file size is a problem-my map is over 200 mega large

Unfortunately it's not working for me. I don't have Internet
connection, no wi-fi, no 3G Internet when opening the maps.app. I copy
the file and just when I open the maps.app, the file is overwritten
with the 8kb file (same name: MapTiles.sqlitedb). Did you do anything
else apart from copying the MapTiles.sqlitedb file to the cache folder?

[Jen B]

finally it worked!!! and I am so happy about it. The problem was that
I was trying to make it work with an older version of
MapTiles.sqlitedb. The one I had was for the FW 2.1 while in 2.2 the
MapTiles.sqlitedb has to be in an other upgraded format so to make it
work in 3.0 I neede a MapTiles.sqlitedb file for the 2.2 fw. But I
never upgraded to 2.2.x. I rather went straight to 3.0 from 2.1 and
obviously the 2.1 version MapTiles.sqlitedb I had, couldn't work.
Thanks for the support.

I managed to make it work by putting it in the original cache and
disabling my internet. However, I encounted some problems while
attempting to create a new map using the GDML software. The maps for
my country has been updated considerably since the last time I check
and now block numbers are included. I used the GDML software to create
a map and while it worked pefectly, the zoom level isnt very detailed.
Minor street names and etc can be seen but an additional zoom level
must be needed to view the block numbers. Even though I didnt uncheck
the area and uncheck the zoom levels during the process of making the
maps, the zoom level isnt to the optimal standard I want it to be. Can
someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

[Juppy]

I just tested the unconverted file downloaded using GDML and it is
working fine. Must be the conversion process that made the zoom level
not to the max. Is there any option I should take note of?

[Jen B]

That's true. I have noticed that too. Don't have any clue yet though.

folder next you have to restart your iPhone TWICE

Hi, I have been messing around with getting this working on the 3.0.1
firmware but nothing is working. Can someone please explain clearly
how to get this all working from zero. I made maps with gmdl.

Thank you.

"After apple operating system upgrading to 3.0 , offline maps have of
lots problems. These issues are mainly originated from the fact that
apple has changed the behavior of cache access . First of all, cache
data can not a Symbolic-link, it must be a real file (so, future
version might disable the function 'Link'). Secondly, in the state of
the network connection, iPhone will write into the cache; If it found
that it is unable to write, Maps will automatically delete the
readable file and re-establish a cache file. In other words, we
recommend that you use OfflineMaps when there is no network connection
