FAQ
Is this even legal? Well, the OpenStreetMap part is
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, it's all screwy. 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.
If I build and run it myself it crashes almost instantly with an 'Exception (DSI) occured' This is a bug in devkitppc wich is in r15 but has been fixed since. It is some sort of memoryleak in net_read() that causes the exception. You have to build the latest cvs version of devkitppc and use that to build WiiEarth that doesn't have the bug.
