Automatic switching to deeper zoom offline maps when zooming in.
I have a world map of 8 zoom and some country maps with 12 zoom and city maps with 16 zoom. It would be great if the app does switch automatically to a other offline map when that map has deeper zoom of the area that I'm viewing.

It's actually possible: in "Mobile Atlas Creator" program you can add more than one selection.
For example:
*select your first map area on map, check desired zoom levels for it and click "Add Selection",
* after that select another area on map, check desired zoom levels for it and click "Add Selection" again.
=> As result offline map will be created containing both selections.

After you enable the screen lock, the auto rotation is disabled and your screen is locked to the portrait orientation. A rotation lock icon (looks like a circular arrow around a padlock) will appear in the status bar next to the battery charge icon.

Merge already downloaded maps together
It would be a good idea to be able to merge the files I already downloaded so I do not have to switch to a different map if I go to another city. Response from the site administrator
Yulia, 01.03.2012
For example: select your first city area on map and click "Add Selection",
after that select your second city (or any other area) and press "Add Selection" again.
As result offline map will be created containing both selections. So you don't have to switch between offline maps.
