I still can't get Map to see my BT GPS. Maemo-Mapper has no problem with it. What I don't see in the Map UI is where it is actually searching. MM shows a bar initially where it is searching for a GPS and then after it finds it, it shows the progress in acquiring satellites.
I was able to download the map of Russia (the only reason I did it was because it was relatively small). I prefer MM because of its flexibility but It would be nice to download just two map files of the US and have everything there at all zoom levels. I think Map is vector based whereas MM is image based. It's comforting to know that I can go anywhere in the world and get a google maps download of the area for free. Google has an interest in constantly updating its maps. Map is useless to me if it can't see my gps. The only problem with MM and google maps is the process of downloading and figuring out what I have is chaotic.
I'm trying to get my 4GB SDHC card recognized. If I can do that, I'll put the two US maps on it along with everything I want for MM. Without a GPS connection, Map will at least give me an electronic map of the US that I can pan around and zoom into.
