maemo mapper google street
 
I know there is many different threads concerning Maemo Mapper, so if someone could just give me the url to the thread I need. I can't seem to find the right search words to find it.
Here is my issue. Google's maps off by quite a lot on the GPS coordinates. The POIs that I have downloaded and my GPS are all off by the same amount. How can I adjust Maemo mapper(move the map over) to fit with my real location. Google Maps is the only one that has the all the streets of where I am at, so I have to use it.
Again just send me the link of where I can find it, unless you feel extra gracious enough to explain it to me. Thank you so much.

what about being able yo adjust it. I don't have my N900 yet, I'm refering to an N8X0.

I've not heard of anyone coming across this problem before. Do you have the same issue with the openstreet maps? The author might have some insight. you can email John Costigan at gnuite@gmail.com.

There was some discussion of similar weirdness over here.

If you go to Google Maps (only in Satelite view) all their layers are off by the same amount. Is there a way I can just adjust Maemo Mapper and move everything over to the right spot.

What country, city you are in? It seem that Google has error in their database in your location...

I think there was an option of giving manual "offset correction" somewhere in MM settings. (Or could be that there once was... but not any more?) I don't have my N810 with me at the moment to check. Without this I don't know how else you can fix it.

So, if you try some other map source (Yahoo, MSN, Openstreetmap), are those showing correctly? If so, then it is confirmed that it is a Google issue.

Yes, it's trivial. See this and this, which fixed an identical problem for someone else a month ago.

It's a well known and discussed issue.

Perfect thanks. Now I have to adjust all my POI's so they match the map correction.
