i cannot believe this:

after upgrading my n810 to diablo and then cloning to my sd card and upgrading my maps the routing ability for wayfinder has disappeared. for all of its faults i like the ability to route on the go and it was worth it to me to pay for the three year license.

i also use maemo mapper for non-routing gps purposes (ie tracking where i have been etc)

but back to my story


i get a lock on the satellites (now very well w/a-gps) and then go to navigation and pick an address (any address- it dont matter) and have it calculate a route. that will white screen the n810. map takes up 99% of the cpu and then to use a technical term- craps out.

i sent an email using my official license key and here is the exchange

Dear Sir,


Thank you for the reply.


In this case it is necessary to re-install the whole firmware. Wayfinder Navigator is tied to the firmware and it should not be possible to re-install just the map application. From this address you can download the latest firmware to your device:

If you have problems with the installation, please contact Nokia customer support directly.


If you have any further questions about Wayfinder Navigator, please don't hesitate to contact us again.



Best Regards

can it be possible that a total reflash is necessary or is Jenni J being super cautious and doing the easy way of fixing the application?

I have deleted /home/user/.map and all of the hidden files contained in /home/user/.map and then used application manager to uninstall map and then reinstalled - but still the same problem.

can anyone give me the straight skivvy on what needs to be removed so that i can reinstall from scratch

or alternatively what needs to be cloned from the internal flash to my sd card so that i do not have to reflash and reinstall everything.

thanks in advance.
