This sounds great, but the first time I tried this maemo-mapper gave a 'Error parsing GPX file'. I had copied the xml data into gvim on a windows box, so I thought that maybe the windows file format difference (cr+lf) might be the problem, so I then copied the data into vim on a a unix server & re-saved, but no difference.
