...because maemo mapper uses raster based maps -- each tile within the map is just an image of a particular area at a specific coordinate; there is no concept of roads, towns, etc.. just an image.

Re: What is your Tablet's Device Name, and Why?

Re: Please help me find the ~/.purple/status.xml file

it's in your home directory (thus the tilde ~), in a hidden (thus the leading dot) directory called .purple.

the explicit/equivalent pathname on the N800 is /home/user/.purple/status.xml
