Well I just tried it out on the new 2006 OS (dude, you rule for getting it out so quicky )

Disclaimer: I didn't use it under 2005 OS, so I might be missing a trick...

Well anyway, initial report:
[] Couldn't install it by clicking the .deb on gnuite.com. Started downloading and quit unexpectedly every time (though this worked ok with Maemopad+ and SQLite). Downloaded it to internal memory and installed using the 'Install from file option in Application Manager. This worked without any problems.

[] On first start, Mapper insists on scanning for a GPS (don't have one, but want to use Mapper as a Google Maps browser) until you gove it a fake MAC address (I just used "Abc"). From then on, it doesn't scan when you go back into the options, vastly speeding things up (otherwise it's quite unresponsive while scanning).

[] Once I'd done that, I guessed that the way to go was to go to Maps and select "Download Area...". I figured the zero coordinates would be fine for a starting point esp. since the zoom tab defaults to a zoomed-out view. Unfortunately, pressing OK causes the app to quit.

[] Sometimes just going into the Settings causes the app to quit. Not a huge issue at this stage since startup is so fast.
Have I not done something that I should have during initial setup - do I need to enter maps.google.com or something into the URI prefix field?

Thanks and keep up the great work!
