-tangoGPS can bunch-download the map images so you don't need an internet connection while walking around. By default tangoGPS stores downloaded maps to /tmp/. This folder is lost every time you reboot the device. But you can use the "Config" tab within tangoGPS to change the "Cache Dir" location to , for example, /osm/ . So downloaded maps will be kept in the Neos flash, also after reboot. Note that the map files can take up large amounts of space, so you may want to store them on your sd card, e.g. in /media/card/osm or /media/mmcblk0p2/data/maps.
+tangoGPS can bunch-download the map images so you don't need an internet connection while walking around. They are stored in ~/maps folder, this can be changed in settings. Note that the map files can take up large amounts of space, so you may want to store them on your sd card, e.g. in /media/card/osm or /media/mmcblk0p2/data/maps.
 If you find that TangoGPS does not remember configuration changes that you make to it, be sure to run it from the touchscreen, and not an SSH session.  TangoGPS uses gconf to store its settings, and cannot access gconf when run via SSH.

 === creating tracks ===
 tangoGPS works fine to create track for Openstreetmap. However, it records and stores a track in its native format, use [http://www.tangogps.org/downloads/convert2gpx.pl convert2gpx.pl] (see also: [http://psung.blogspot.com/2008/07/sharing-gps-tracks-from-tangogps-on.html tools])(you can also use [http://minucci.net/file/convert2gpx.py convert2gpx.py]) to convert the track to GPX (i.e to import into JOSM):
