mapopolis maps

    hi.
    i purchased the mapopolis european mappack about 2 weeks ago online.

    however, when i went to download the maps i find you have to download the maps country by country ie there's no option to download county by county as there used to be with their demo maps before.

    so for example the uk and ireland map is a massive 166mb - an hour and a half on a broadband connection i'm guessing.

    i don't have broadband at home and using a coffee shop/restaurant is impractical and i keep losing the connection anyway.

    i have got on to lamar at mapopolis about this problem and he said he'd send me on a cd of the european maps but i haven't got anything yet.

    anyone else here have the same problem. i see one or two others here have the mapopolis maps so i was just wondering how ye managed.

    any ideas?

    I believe that Mapopolis moved to country by country maps due to demand for this feature, as most of the other satnav software providers do the same. Of course, if you don't have broadband, this turns out to be a little bit of a pain...
