I'm really amazed at mmapper being able to capture google maps at various resolutions. I've downloaded about 1 GB of maps so far for places in the US and for where we will visit in Italy. The way I find easiest is frame geographic area on the screen and then use manage maps with the zoom tab and select the zoom levels. I always get a chance to reject the download if it is going to be too heavy.

Here are some things I still would like to find out how to do:

1. I did a test drive with my i-Blue 737 running. mmapper tracked my progress along various maps with precision. What I would like to be able to do is insert a waypoint. The only thing I see similar is to use is track->insert breakpoint. It does insert a dot there but I have no idea how to name the breakpoint or look it up later.

2. I don't undertand how to load POI's. I think I need to use sqlite3 but I can't seem to figure out how to intall it. I went to www.owenwilliams.plus.com/ and tried to install sqlite_3.2.7.arm.deb but the n800 says that it is uninstallable. What do I have to do to install sqlite3?

3. I have about 250 waypoints on my Garmin Emap. I would like to transfer these to the n800 for use in mmapper. How do I do that? I think I can export those waypoints in comma-separated format.

4. I tried to go to http://www.avraam.org/winmapper.htm to download winmapper but I get the error: "An unhandled application error has occured within Fax Web Report." What gives?

thanks,
