yes i tried removing the 'paths' file in the maemo-mapper directory. no such luck.
if you really want to know my flawed logic - i wanted to have the satellite images as a switchable option in the list without the data being cached. part of me knew it was a bad idea but i tried anyway. i assumed at worst i'd be deleting a dotfile and/or reinstalling.

can anyone verify whether or not maemo-mapper creates another config file after installation? i've deleted everything listed by dpkg/apt to no avail.
