GeneralAntilles,

What an excellent explanation of what I wanted to know. Maybe you should turn your reply into the beginnings of documetation of MaemoMapper.

The screens you are showing don't look much like what I have on my n800. I downloaded it just a couple of days ago. I have no clue which version I have. I brought up the app and poked around the various screens and saw no reference to the version. The About screen should have it but it doesn't. I'll search for 1.4.

I have already taken a look at the I-Blue gps. They are selling it for $69 in the US. On your advice, I will definitely consider getting it. I was worried about it not tracking my position. I definitely will have to download all the maps I need before travelling because I won't get a wifi connection while moving. I can get good maps for the US from Google. We are heading to Italy in a few weeks and I'll see what it gives me for there. Which is the best mapsource for Europe?

I also have the same problem of neocx. Not understanding what Manage Repositories->download did, I ended up with at least four sets of Google Streets, etc. I couldn't figure out how to get rid of them. I even uninstalled, installed again and they were still there. Then I realized that I when I go into the repositories screen and highlight one of the items, I can hit the 'delete' button and it will disappear. The repositories screen is very non-intuitive as to what it does and how to use it.

Thanks for all the feedback. I may end up writing my own howto on the Mapper and posting it on my website. I may 'steal' your explanations with your permission.
