Thank you, dcarter!

And to reward you (and others) for your hard work spent on installing Maemo Mapper, I present Maemo Mapper v1.3.4, which should make all that hard work no longer necessary!

Actually, Maemo Mapper v1.3.4 itself has almost nothing new in it: a few changed strings, some updated po files, and the re-instated libxau0 dependency that turned out to be necessary. It's not even worth upgrading, really, except to keep it off of the "new version available" list.

No, the real trick was getting all of Maemo Mapper's dependencies uploaded to the mistral extras repository. So, now, even with a fresh re-flash, the only repository that you should need to add for Maemo Mapper (and all of its dependencies) is mistral extras:

Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/
Distribution: 2.0
Components: free non-free

libsqlite0 and libxau0 are hard dependencies (necessary in order to install and run Maemo Mapper), and they will install automatically if not already installed, assuming you are installing Maemo Mapper from the above repository.

flite and proj are "soft" dependencies. You don't need them to install or run Maemo Mapper, but they add functionality. If you want them, you should install them separately, from the above repository, in the "Utilities" section.

Installing flite will allow you to "Enable Voice Synthesis" in Maemo Mapper's Settings. This will give Maemo Mapper the capability to audibly speak directions (in addition to the on-screen directions) such as, "Turn left at Main St."

Installing proj will allow you to use WMS servers such as those listed on ReinhardE's Maemo Mapper WMS Extension page (note: that page is a little outdated; you don't need a separate patch, just the proj package). This gives you more flexibility in the map repositories that you can use.
