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.

Yulia, 14.03.2012
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.
To re-enable the auto rotation, you can simply go through the steps again to turn off the lock.

Only weekday of a track in the Tracks-lists
In the overview Tracks the date of a track is only shown as the weekday. This is nice functionality if it is last weeks weekday, but not if it is longer ago. I recorded a track on Tuesday October 25th and it is still showing up as Tuesday.

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.

Yulia, 14.05.2012
Yes, there have been a few changes in the user interface since the version 2.1.
First tap on the left down "Locate Me" button - initiates the tracking mode, next tap on this button switches to the 'compass' mode.
To turn off the tracking or compass mode - simply touch and move the map.

Can't un-focus a bookmark
If a bookmark is touched, it will display the name of it. It can block a large part of the screen if the name is long, and the only way to get rid of it is touching another bookmark.
Perhaps touching it again should remove the textbox? Response from the site administrator

External GPS receiver and import tracks for navigation
1. Is support GPS receiver to located the positions ? For example: roqyBT + Bluetooth GPS receiver + Galileo on iPad2 (WiFi).
2. May I import gpx or other file format for navigation ? Response from the site administrator
Yulia, 14.04.2012
1. In general Galileo app supports the work with external GPS receivers, but we didn't test each of them. And roqyBT is reported to work with app.
Have you already tried it?
2. Check out new version 2.1+ of Galileo Offline Maps app. Now it possible to import KML files into the app. Read more:

Just tap on red-circle icon once to start recording and tap again to stop recording.
The following detailed statistics are available for a recorded track:
* duration - total trip elapsed time
* distance - total distance
* avg. speed - average speed while recording the track
*max. speed - maximum speed on tracks
You can save your recorded GPS tracks to KML, GPX, CSV common formats and share them with someone via email.

It allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.
So you can report any discovered error yourself at http://openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org
Just leave a short message on the map if something is missing or obviously wrong, like "oneway in wrong direction" or "bridge or level_crossing?".
