I'm not quite understanding you re. roadgps and getmaps. Do you mean that you can't get the GPS to work, or the app itself? (If you're using an n800 w/bluetooth GPS you have to manually add the BT address in preferences->GPS...)

Getmaps, should work fine as long as you've got wget...
[edit]
As for POIs, RoadMap will read GPX files no problem. To import POIs or routes into a trip, you cna go to- http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/poi.cgi and enter a location. It will return a GPX file that you can save. The to add these POIs to your current trip you can do menu->trip->merge trip and browse to the saved file. (This'll likely be more automated in the next release...)

If you could post back and be a little more specific, I'd be happy to help...

cheers,
