I now changed the regional setting to English (UK), keeping the device language as Finnish, and after that maemo-mapper is able to connect to gps. I do also have the recompiled osso-gpsd.

Hope this helps someone.
I have now noticed that this has nothing to do with the device language. It seems that if the device is on a long time (days, weeks, I'm not sure), the bluetooth system somehow does not work anymore. So the device has to be rebooted (or is there any other way to get around this?) and after that maemo-mapper and other applications using bluetooth work again.

Really annoying since I really don't like rebooting since I have suffered a WSOD.
