To help me, if your particular GPS receiver does not work with Maemo Mapper, please include the behaviors (crashes, freezes, etc.) that lead you to that conclusion. Also, if you have tried GPS Drive and your receiver worked with it, then that's another useful piece of information. And, again, thanks for all the feedback. |
