Also in this release is a key bug fix for those who have had problems with Maemo Mapper remaining in memory even after closing it. A symptom of this is not being able to start Maemo Mapper again after closing it. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should upgrade to v2.3.1.

I also added Swedish translation strings, courtesy Daniel Nylander.

CHANGELOG:
* Fixed bug where Maemo Mapper persists in memory after closing.
* Added ability to "compact" (aka "reorganize") a map cache database.
* Added documentation for using custom POI icons.
* Added Swedish translation strings.

Thanks for the continued updates Dude!

I have found a 2GB ceiling per DB on my N800...
That is, once 2GB is reached in my VE Hybrid DB, MM closes if I attempt to download another map. If I rename the DB and start a new one everything is fine again... until I reach 2GB.

Is this unique to me, VE hybrid, or the tablet/OS ?
Or; is it a limitation of the DB file?
