Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

You can't with google maps. You would ideally require a Nokia with OVI maps for what you want to do.

There are free applications that allow you to download maps for offline use (eg mapdroid) but to my knowledge they do not do navigation.

You could buy one of the navigation applications such as copilot that might do offline maps/navigation, but I'm not 100% sure.

Navigon also do a free 30 day trial. You can only get navigation in one country for the trial though
