Nokia maps - just detailed maps!

I have a problem that i wonder if any of you can shed some light on, i am about to go touring across italy and france and will be taking some really quiet routes, so i thought excellent i'll download the maps from these countries with map loader. takes ages to download but they are all on there, when i load up map loader i don't connect to the network (wi-fi, i never connect directly due to costs). i then find that i can't see any of the maps! :-|i restart nokia maps and this time i connect to the wi-fi and as i zoom in the maps become visable and they are downloading through the wifi, i wonder what the heck i downloaded in the first place! i closed nokia maps and restarted it and didn't connect to the network again, and the maps had been saved of where i had just viewed.the problem is i don't know how long this is saved for, plus i need detailed mapping of the whole of france so i looks like the only way that i can do this is to trace my whole route through france in detail just to get the maps saved on my phone, tbh thats what i thought i had downloaded from the nokia website through map loader.can anyone point out what i am doing wrong and overlooked? and what i need to do to get these maps in detail?all i want to have is the base maps with detailed roads and some POI's in my phone, so that i can check where i actually am with my GPS and then work out a route how to get there. i don't need actual navigation.can anyone tell me what i need to do/get/buy to be able to do this on my N95?
