Agreed. Here's my post on why I gave up on Maemo Mapper: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...078#post252078

Though, not clear on how it is good for hiking. Since you need a cell phone for the maps, is this still a viable option for hiking? I simply could not download any maps without MM telling me that it needed gobs of gigabytes to store them offline.
