Great app that has helped me a lot!

But is there a way to make Mappero stop asking for internet connection?
I usually download mapps before I leave and I set auto-download to "disabled" and yet I still get the internet connection popup every 5 or 10 minutes ...
The maps seem to be there since Mappero works fine even though I don't let it connect to the internet.
This is something that bothers me a lot because the internet connection popup is very distracting and things get worse due to Mappero usually hogging the CPU => Cancelling an internet request takes a long time, especially when the screen was rotated and the phone becomes unresponsive for 1-2 minutes (at least when I play audio with the media player at the same time).

I think this was asked before in this thread, but I haven't seen an answer ...
Edit: Seems to be the wrong thread but I couldn't find a "Mappero" thread?!
