dantonic,

The 'mv' command just moves/renames the file. This gave maemo-mapper a "fresh start" with it's persistent storage. In other words, I think that the "paths.db" file was corrupted in some way, and this command just force maemo-mapper to recreate it. I am not aware of all of the side effects that this command will have on maemo-mapper, but it doesn't seem to be too harmful. After looking at the "paths.db" file, it appears to be an SQL database file that holds the track and route waypoints and paths.


I noticed that the problem has returned for me. I'm not quite sure why.

I did just fix this issue (shame on me for not noticing it earlier)!


After fixing that, it appears to be working again.

It seems bizarre to me: everything works when I'm connected to my cell phone inside my house. But when I'm on the road, I get the generic error. I'll have to do some more traveling to see if the problem persists when I'm away from home.
