Hello All,

Roadmap-1.1.0h has been released. It includes a bunch of upstream patches from the sourceforge project. It's available here.

To install you need to install the *.deb file and also download the basemap and extract to your memory card in a directory called 'roadmaps'. As an example you can-
1. download the basemap to the root of your internal memory card(/media/mmc2).
2. Open xterm and do-
$ cd /media/mmc2
/media/mmc2$ mkdir roadmaps
/media/mmc2$ cd roadmaps
/media/mmc2/roadmaps$ tar -xvzf ../roadmap-1.1.0-basemap.tar.gz

That gives you the basemap and the state/province boundaries for the U.S.A. and Canada.
Now you can download the state maps you want from roadmap.sourceforge.net/maps.html and extract them to the same directory. (Either /media/mmc1/roadmaps or /media/mmc2/roadmaps will work. mmc2 is searched first.)

There are a couple of caveats-
1. At large zooms the program slows as it has more maps to scan. This results in the screen redrawing a lot at large zooms. This is more noticeable with GPS enabled as that forces more screen redraws. I'm working on zoom aware redraw code. But for now disabling GPS(by pressing 'V') when viewing a large area (more than a city) is advised.
2. Screen redraws sometimes kill gpsd if there is no lock. If you wish to scroll around the map while waiting for a GPS fix, starting the GPS Console (gpsdrive) will prevent gpsd from dying until you have a fix.

Aside from the above, the program works well on the n810. I don't have access to an n800 to test. So any n800 users that try the app with their bluetooth GPS, please post your results here or on the roadmap forum at the garage, as I do want to support this app on the n800.

Cheers,
