So you intend to badmouth dwardz and his software because you are too dumb to figure out how edit one file? Then you are a real piece of *****. Dwardz is legend around these parts and perhaps does not have time to explain the most basic elements of linux.

This forum has slowly been distilled down to the real hardcore nXXX users who will never trade the power of a computer for 'whatsapp' (or whatever the latest horse ***** fad is). You must understand you are a new n9 owner, you represent the new wave of people who have a lot to learn, a group the rest of us have coddled and hand-held 1000 times already. The answers you seek are easy to find, you just have to have a hungry mind.

I am in Poland right now and therefore riding a ham induced euphoria so I am feeling like less of a rotter than usual. You need to edit the file providers.ini. On the n900 it is located in /opt/cloudgps/providers.ini. The easiest way to edit it is with an editor from the command line. You can either use vi (built in(probably)) or perhaps somthing like nano (if it has been ported).

1. Open xterm.
2. Start a root shell
3. Enter somthing like 'vi /opt/cloudgps/providers.ini'
4. Make your necessary changes.
5. Save and exit (:wq)
6. Job done.
