I want start by saying that I think Maemo Mapper is a really cool app, and I am having a lot of fun with it. However, I have also run into a few problems that I'd like to try and get sorted out.
The first problem is downloading maps - When downloading an 'area' of large size and several zoom levels, I get a question asking if I want to download X number of maps (a few thousand typically), of Y MB (a few hundred MB). Okay, no problem. After the download starts, at some random (seemingly) period of time MM crashes out (or simply dies). Any thoughts? I'd really like to be able to download a large area with the zooms that are appropriate for what I need to do before I go on a trip. Downloading maps that are just along a route is less useful to me as I often end up a long way from my intended route...
Second, when adding POI's using the tap & hold, I can enter exactly one POI. Then if I want to add another using the same method, it crashes out when I hit 'okay'. This is more annoying than much else.
The third problem relates to the voice announcement of waypoints - it's not working. I've installed flite... I can load a route and as I drive, I get the text box with the driving instructions, but no voice. There is a 'chime' sound when each new box of text is displayed, but nothing else.
As far as what version I have - they are the ones that were included as 'installable' in the repository on my N810. The N810 is the new WiMAX version, so I suspect that it's all the latest software. The built-in GPS works well once a fix is obtained.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers!
