Nothing. I just found this stock froyo good. Don't need other options. I've app2SD enabled on my N1. And I don't see any other advantages than themes/backup in custom ROMs.

As per Brut

Q: How to download maps data for some area (city, country), so GM won't need data connection?
A: Maps caching is really simple for now, but I plan to change cache format to something compatible with map downloaders. If you have some application that could save map tiles as separate PNG files in file structure like: Z/Y/X, then you should be able to use it even now.

MgMaps actually creates the files in PNG format, so it should work.

nd there is a tutorial on how to flash firmwares on youtube...
 
@mohnishism
According to the samsung-firmwares website, the i9000xwjm2 is meant for europe.
Is the gprs/edge working ok for you after flashing this rom? i installed JF7 from the website as its meant for Asia.
 
looks like I9000XWJM2 is the europian ROM, did you guys checked if all stuffs are working like gprs/edge, wifi, etc

and do you have to root your device to flash new ROMs ?

Yes, I flashed JM2, then flashed the sdcard fix kernel, then applied the fix. Everything working great! You have to manually add the APN information.
