Hi,
Firstly, thanks for a great applicaion - very slick in operation, does what it's supposed to do (mostly anyway, see below :-p) and without the bloat...

Secondly, I'm experiencing the locking up problem as discussed earlier in the thread - has any progress been made with this at all? I'd be willing to do any diagnostics with my setup if required.

Essentially what is happening is that mapper locks up and becomes unresponsive to any user input. Sometimes a small white box appears in the top right corner of the screen, similar in nature to the dialogue boxes that say "Searching for GPS reciever" or "Establishing GPS fix", although no text actually appears. The screen will still change back and forward from fullscreen mode - although the screen isn't properly refreshed when doing this.
It is possible to close maemo-mapper by clicking the red X in the top right. Reopening maemo-mapper results in it being unable to find the GPS receiver. Interesting, running 'hcitool scan' reveals no bluetooth devices (even though my BT phone is in range) and gives an error message along the lines of "Cannot open socket" (IIRC).

Rebooting fixes the situation. I don't believe the GPS reciver loses signal when it happens, but I could be wrong.

FWIW:
IT 2005 software edition, v 5.2006.13-7
Nokia 6230i phone with BT enabled and in range at all times (although not actually connected at the time)
An unbranded BT GPS reciever, claiming to be a model GNT-120 (chosen because it was cheap!).

Sorry for the lengthy post, I've tried to include as much detail as possible. Again, I'd be more than willing to do some debugging if required.

Thanks again,
Ed

And having just posted all that, I've noticed that you're planning to release v0.1.1 to address these issues - feel free to ignore me!
