I hope to have something for tomorrow (it depends how fast i can learn to programme in maemo ) . I already have something, but it crash when change each other for two times.

That would be a nice feature to have.

In the meantime I've created two shell scripts that let me switch between street maps and sat maps while Maemo Mapper is not running. These scripts do two things: (1) change a symlink to the map directory and (2) change the map url with gconftool-2.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Ask Maemo Mapper to use satellite maps from Google
gconftool-2 -s /apps/maemo-mapper/map_uri_format -t string 'http://kh.google.com/kh?n=404&v=6&t=%s'
ln -sf /media/mmc1/maps/sat /home/user/apps/maemo-mapper

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Ask Maemo Mapper to use street maps from Google
gconftool-2 -s /apps/maemo-mapper/map_uri_format -t string 'http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.11&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d'
ln -sf /media/mmc1/maps/street /home/user/apps/maemo-mapper
