I don't know what I've done wrong. I installed Maemo Mapper on my new Nokia 770 using Application Manager. I start it up, and I have menus, which act the way menus should act. I added some settings. I have no GPS, by the way, but I've read that this program is supposed to be useful without GPS, so I don't imagine that's the cause of my problem.
Under Manage Repositories, I have inserted a URI Format entry that I got from this forum, which begins with mt.google.com. Under Manage Maps, Area tab, I have specified the lat/long values for the New York metro area, that someone else specified on this forum. And I have turned on Auto Download.
At times, a message comes up in the top right corner, that says "Downloading Maps", for just a couple of seconds. When I leave the Manage Maps dialog, it asks me for permission to download some maps, with tiny sizes such as .01mb and .04mb. At no time does it tell me that it had any difficulty obtaining maps, so I can only assume that I specified my URI Format correctly. ???
When I bring up the Context Menu of a spot on the blank black screen and select Location/Show Lat/Lon, it shows different values every time I do it. When I select "Show Distance to", it tells me the distance to "Location" (wherever that is!) is 4019 miles.
In other words the program really acts like it thinks it's showing me a map. But all I see is black. Turning the 770 off and back on didn't help.
Anybody know what causes such a symptom? Thanks!
