Re: Has anyone uninstalled the default Map app?
 

For me the built-in Maps application is comparable to a real GPS. Once you buy voice-based navigation it exactly does the same things as a standalone GPS device. It even displays speed cameras and traffic information.

Why uninstall? Just don't open it.

It's eating up a couple of MB that I could use for better apps :D

By the way, I have an update for the Map application in the Application Manager but it refuses to let me install it.

The error I'm getting is:

"Unable to install.
Software contains updates to packages installed from a different source and is likely to harm the system.
Contact software author"

If i go into Red Pill mode, it downloads and installs fine, albeit taking a good half an hour to install :P

On that bombshell, going OT, switching to Red Pill mode, I'm seeing an update for "Operating System" which will not install.

The error message:

Unable to update [Operating System / libglade2-0. Some application packages required for the update are missing

For libglade, I'm missing libglade. What's libglade for? It seems to be a required package for Operating System (84kb) to install

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the revelation. It wasnt apparent that this thread was device specific - Only about the software.

Re: Has anyone uninstalled the default Map app?
 

The software runs on N810 and N800 only.. so...
For me products from Garmin and similia will do better than the tablets. Either from the hardware point of view and the software.
Granted, the software could be a lot better, but as a generic device, it's already cool, for me, to have it.

For GHOONK just uninstall it and re-install it and it'll work.

Re: Has anyone uninstalled the default Map app?
 

I have 1.72 GB free on a 2 GB internal card and it still errors out. I was able to download the smallest map (Singapore) correctly, so I assume the size of the eastern US map is still causing a problem.

I found the Navicore download page, but they want the registration key, and mine is blank when I look at the "About" screen in Map. Has anyone else succeeded in downloading from there?

Re: Has anyone uninstalled the default Map app?
 

Hmm..whenever I try to refresh the map list (none seem to show up) it just says "failure to update map list".

Edit: It might be because I'm using my home satellite connection, I'll have to find a free WiFi spot sometime and try to download from there.

Red Pill mode is not a good way to troubleshoot installs. It is, on the other hand, an excellent way to break things if you romp around installing and updating things that you don't understand.

If you need something out of the Red Pill mode, you will know it. Don't just blindly screw around in there when you don't have the knowledge to understand what you're screwing around with—there's a reason it's not enabled by default.

You can download maps in bulk, too, by region (well, by quasi-rectangular area of the world). That's not very different from Maps requiring you to download more than a gigabyte of maps for the U.S.

Any one knows why mapper filled my mmc2 folder with a huge Map folder? It almost filled all the capacity of mmc2.
