(I posted this in the Maemo Mapper 1.x thread, but this also affects Maemo Mapper 0.x, so I've repeated it here.)

I've (finally) updated the GPX Driving Directions Web Service to output real UTF-8, so it should now work with Maemo Mapper for directions that include non-ascii characters. This also affects Maemo Mapper's internal Driving Directions downloading.

For those of you who kept getting "Error Parsing GPX File" errors, please try again and let me know if you still get the error. If you do get the error, please PM me an example of Source and Destination addresses that give you the error.

Thanks, and I apologize that it took so long to bring the web service into the twenty-first century.

Note: I have not been able to test any directions that contained Unicode characters that are not also in the ISO-8859-1 character set, mostly because I couldn't even find any Google Maps directions that included non-ISO-8859-1 characters. If you can find an example of a Source and Destination that result in directions with non-ISO-8859-1 characters, please PM them to me. Thanks!
