As I understand it when CamerAlert is running on my iPhone the visual display of roads etc is being constantly downloaded as we move along. This is okay in UK as I have unlimited downloads with Oranage but in Europe I quickly burn through my daily allowance and have to switch off the data download to stop myself raising a big bill.

So excuse my ignorance but is it possible to buy a package of maps that are held permenently on the phone so when using CamerAlert I am not downloading so much data?

You have a choice of no maps, maps when near cam or maps all the time. Check out the settings menu. If you run it in the background (or with no maps) it uses no data.

If you have roaming data turned off in the main iPhone settings then regardless of what ma view you have chosen it won't show any maps.

There's o hard and fast way to cache map tiles either - there will be *some* caching but neither the user or the developer can control this.
