v) Goolge Hybrid Maps Zoom Level 17 and 18 Only (Rwp-Isb-Karachi only) ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) (95 Mb)

c) Download Cache.conf File here ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ])

Note:
a) Google Satellite Maps will install automatically with Google Hybrid mode. You should not delete Satellite view files otherwise Hybrid Mode will not work

b) If you download All Pakistan maps for a certain zoom level, lets say Zoom level 13, then you don't need to download Zoom level 13 of Major Cities as its already contained in All Pakistan maps.

c) Download the Maps as per your requirement

If you have an 8GB Memory card then I suggest you download
All..... Required Space is 2.4GB space... so utilize ur space...

If you have 4gb card then i suggest you download
Google Road Maps from Zoom Level 1 to 14 (All Pakistan)
Google Road Maps Zoom Level 15 Only ( All Pakistan)
Google Road Maps of 20 Major Cities ONLY Zoom Level 16 & 17
Google Hybrid Maps Zoom Level 1 to 12 ( All Pakistan) Part 1 & 2

If you have 2 Gb card then I suggest you download
Google Road Maps from Zoom Level 1 to 14 (All Pakistan)
Google Road Maps Zoom Level 15 Only ( All Pakistan)
Google Road Maps of 20 Major Cities ONLY Zoom Level 16 & 17

In My Opinion everyone must download:
Google Road Maps upto Zoom Level 15 (All Pakistan) then
Google Road Maps with Zoom Level 16 and 17 (Major Cities)
Google Hybrid Mode Upto Zoom level 12 (All Pakistan)
then Add any zoom level you want according to space you have in your memory card..

2) COMPILE DOWNLOADED MAPS
Once you download all files then Create a Folder "MGMapsCache" and extract the files into it as shown in Picture Below.
Dont forget to copy cache.conf file in MGMapsCache folder otherwise it will not work...

]
Note: You can Delete any zoom level that you dont want, lets say you dont need Google road maps of Pakistan at zoom level 16 then just delete the folder "GoogleMap_16" but if you want to delete Hybrid Mode, lets say Zoom Level 13, then you have to delete both folders "GoogleHyb_13" and "GoogleSat_13"


3) COPY TO MOBILE MEMORY CARD:
Now connect your mobile to PC through USB using "Removable Mass Storage mode".. This is true for Nokia and Blackberry. But dont know for others... OR you can just pull out your Memory card from your Mobile and insert in Card reader.
Now copy compiled MGMapsCache folder to ROOT DIRECTORY of your memory card. See Picture Below
Do not use bluetooth for transferring maps as It will take a hell of time transferring to your mobile

]
Note: Maps will take very long to transfer .. often 2-3 hours.. so dont panic..

B) MOBILE STEPS:

1) Download MGMaps for Mobile:

a) For Nokia 5800 and N97 (click here) ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ])

b) For Blackberry (click here) ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) and install it to your blackberry using Desktop Manager... (Most of black berry users will know how to do it)

c) For All Other Mobiles please click on page below and find your specified Model and Download accordingly
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
OR
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Note :You should prefer downloading the Development version 1.42 .. If 1.42 is not available for your model e.g with Blackberry then download the Stable version 1.39


STEPS For Nokia 5800: (Steps are common in all mobiles exception is Windows Mobiles with GPS)

1) Install the mgmaps-1_42_01.jar file in your mobile memory card you will see the icon as below.. Open it ..

]
2) When asked 2 questions about GPS Positioning and open cache.. click "Allow for this session" but for INTERNET USAGE CLICK NO..
]
3) You will see empty screen, Click MENU ...SETTINGS.... MAPS... STORED MAPS///

]
4) Tick Mark Stored Maps and Offline Mode and Click SAVE... path will be by default as shown... (For Black Berry you might see "SD CARD/MGMapsCache"...if not there then give this path)...when asked to restart MGMaps, Select Yes.. Now Exit MGMaps...

]
5) Start MGMaps Again..and follow Allow for this session and No for internet usage as in step 2..Now click MENU... MAPS... MAP TYPES

]
UNTICK ALL Maps except for Google Maps, Google Hybrid and Google Satellite.. (see pic below).. then click OPTIONS... SAVE.... and BACK...

]
6) Now Click on "Map" a shown in Picture to change Map type... By default it is set to Yahoo Maps so change it to Google Maps or Google Hybrid...(or which ever u downloaded)

]
7) Now Click on MENU...GOTO... and Put in the coordinates as below... (this step in required to locate maps of Pakistan as by default it is set to US and therefore u might not see the Maps. You can change the zoom level to the specified level , if u have downloaded one zoom level...

]
8) You will start seeing Yahoo Maps but now you can change between Maps by Clicking "Map type Button"...(see Pic)

]
9) Now Go out in Open space and wait for the GPS to receive satellite signals.. If you have a single storied home then it might work even inside home but if you have double storied or more then you should Go out in open space....
Wait for at-least 5 mins... Normally take 2-3 mins to lock on a satellite..

Once it locks on a satellite, the Red Satellite indicator icon will turn GREEN (see in Pic) this will tell u that GPS is online.... and a Blue colored balloon will appear that shows ur location..

]
10) Mark that location as you favorite so that you don't get lost in Maps while browsing....that can be done in MENU...FAVORITES..

11) If you want to see 'Speed and Location Coordinates', then Click MENU...SETTINGS...MAP and OVERLAYS...Preferably Choose settings that I have..in picture below..when done.. Click Save..OK

]
You will see the Display as in picture below. But it will only show Coordinates and Speed values when your GPS is locked on to a satellite..

]
12) By default the Maps are not set to move with your GPS Position. If you want your maps to move with ur location then Click MENU.....GPS.....SETUP.....MOBILE TRACKING....Tick Move Map... and change Refresh (sec) to 1 ... Click Save when done..
Note: The Lower is the refresh rate, the better it will tell u speed and position but will consume battery more...

]
You will enjoy your travel in Aeroplane where you don't have internet access nor Cellular network but your GPS can lock on to satellite and you can find which place you are flying over and how fast are you moving...

Enjoy Offline Maps without having to use internet...
