FAQ
Is this even legal? The current way it downloads from Live Maps is kind of shady, but the rest is legit.
The program hangs / gives an exception / fails to load any data Yeah it does that, please reset your Wii and try again.
Can this hurt my Wii? Yes, though it isn't designed to do that. Please be careful with this and other homebrew.
The Google imagery doesn't work, I keep getting this weird graphic. There is a limit to how many tiles can be downloaded, after about 1000 tiles it stops working. It resets everyday so try again tomorrow.
Can I use the source for... Yes you can! Check the license for more details.
