maybe thats what killed me. I installed maemo mapper and thats when it ate up the memory (hence my original problem)

I am just going to use the Nokia Map, and deal with it. It seemed kind of hard to use (maemo mapper) I downloaded a preset grid (using long/lat) and asked to go to close zoom level) and it must have killed it. (only the Nashville area nothing big)

Anyway I am glad to say everything is working fine now (sans memory card) and I give my thanks to eliagp
