It is an awesome piece of software, which does good navigation and has a lot of options.

If you have a good data plan on your phone, use mapper. If you don't want to rely on an internet connection, use Wayfinder.

My 2cts.
isn't there any way to get the maemo mapper to work w/o the internet? ex: can i download the map from a start point to the destination before travel and use it on the road ????
