Hi folks,

I am interested in displaying maps on my Nokia N800, but it's not here yet, should be arriving next week. While I'm waiting, I have been reading these forums, and watched some YouTube videos about using maps with the N800. When my N800 arrives I will be loading OS2008.

So far, I have read about a free program called Maemo Mapper, and that I can download free maps for it from various sources such as Google. Then I can use a blue tooth GPS with the N800 to show my position in real time on the N800 display, even while I'm not connected to the Internet.

OK, so is that how it actually works??? Is Maemo Mapper the best free mapper program for the N800? Can I get maps for South America, and will they be topo, street, satellite maps, or all of the above?
