I don't think Winmapper works for Maemo Mapper v2.x - or has it been updated recently? The old Winmapper software put the maps into a directory structure, which is the format that Maemo Mapper v1.x expected. Maemo Mapper v2.x uses a database instead of a directory hierarchy.

No, they should be immediately visible, or, at worst, you might need to zoom in/out or move the map around on the screen to force a screen refresh.

Try turning "Auto-Download" on, available from the "Maps" menu. You need to be connected to the internet for that to work, but it will get you started with some maps, and from there, you can figure out which parts of the world for which you want to download more maps.
