Hi,
Can somebody answer my questions and give me some help?
I was trying to see some map on my n800 (OS2008 flashed), but I just cannot see any maps on my unit. I browsed to google/map, but the right corner does not show any map, instead, it just shows the text of "Map", "Satellite", and Terrain", below the "text of "Map" I see left center, right, and down arrow buttons, ... I just don't see map at all. I also fire up the "maemo mapper", I don't see any map, I see all black screen with an arrow pointing to top (also a letter N inside the arrow, level 17, 651 km). Clicking on the top menu ("Maemo Mapper", I selected VE Street, or Google Street, and download maps; I was able see the text (under POI, when I specified zip code), but no map displayed.
Questions ar: Do I need a GPS receiver to get a real map displayed? Is it true also without the GPS receiver, I cannot even browse the map under the google web site as I can do normally on a regular PC?
It's also true I cannot see any map when I go to mapquest website. It must be some piece of software missing on my unit.
Please help!!! Thank you in advance.
Strangely enough, I was able to see the google map under the KDE (Penguinbait's master piece). I also can see map under the mapquest website. I would think I can see map under "maemo mapper", but I don't know how to bring the program up under the KDE yet.
