I'm not going to address a fanatic moron who attacks me for expecting something completely reasonable. As for online maps, it's a bit difficult for my Nook Color, which has no 3G. I appreciate the link jusc, and I have that part figured out.
I only want this map once, but I've been trying to download it for weeks. After research, I found out there's a 2GB limit in Android (How about a pop-up message if the map you're about to DL is over 2GB?), then there was the bug with stopping at the water. At least in my case, Locus is responsible for a LOT more downloads than me. Also, with that experience, you now expect me to play with downloads for a WEEK, and THEN maybe find out it didn't work, and have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN. You won't have to worry about Google. Nobody will be using Locus.
Also, I'd think it would be better to download needed maps ONCE, perhaps during off-peak hours, instead of constantly. Also, I'm sure it would be a very easy task to have Locus report to Google whatever it wants. There are a number of programs that report something different. I can't think of a SINGLE program that arbitrarily throttles downloads, unless if it was a shareware limitation. If that is the case here, perhaps you should be clear about it. Otherwise, instead of buying Locus, I'll be uninstalling Locus, as it is completely worthless to me. I understand you don't want to piss off Google, but you don't want to piss off those who use your program, or nobody will use it! Balance!
Menion, if you were REALLY for Google, you wouldn't allow that .XML file that COMPLETELY restores Google maps, as well as all the others. It's like you are two people. One whispers that there is a way around Google's lawyers, and the other says you are SO deathly afraid of Google's lawyers, we will cripple the program so bad it's worthless. I don't get it. I likely never will, because at the end of this sentence, I will be completely done with Locus.
