Maemo Mapper v1.2.5 Released
 

Maemo Mapper v1.2.5 is a small feature release that includes alitude (elevation) support in track data, speed warning functionality, and a few more configuration settings (including the ability to increase the font size of the notification text).

This will be the last major v1.2.x release. In fact, Maemo Mapper v1.3 is just around the corner (just give me an hour to make the release), with support for WMS and a much more robust (though slightly slower) download mechanism.

So if you like being on the bleeding edge (or if you've been having trouble with downloading), hang tight and wait for the next release, which should be coming at you soon.

Mapper URIs
 

Thanks Gnuite

I set the URI to one identified by the trick of right clicking on the white space in Google Maps, as recommended. Using the identified URI with w=2.29 and x,y and zoom set to %d I was confronted with a "Downloading Maps" message and then a screen full of a map of the world.

mapper poi dbs
 

I too would like some better documentation on how to get poi in mapper...

gnuite,
thanks once again for your work!

Just a quick note:
I've never been able to download routes from within maemo mapper,
(my internet provider only allows http, https and ssh trafic...)

would it be possible to define the route server url, so that we could use alternative route servers?
(I know that they don't exist yet... but there will be more... someday ;)

Tap and hold on a particular spot where you want the POI and a menu will come up. After that, it is pretty intuitive.

Have you tried the 1.3.x versions? I assume you mean you need to work through a proxy since MM only uses http traffic to start with. The 1.3.x versions work beautifully through a proxy as I can attest.
