That's basically what the "Go to -> Address..." feature is going to do. Yes, that means you'll need internet access to go to an address - you have to remember that Maemo Mapper is free and thus doesn't have ANY of that expensive Navteq street data, so it can't do routing or address-finding on its own. It works only with bitmap images.
Like I said, I'm used to TomTom, and having address search and all that. Hell, I've even used Nav4All and been able to search for address.

Not that I'm not appreciative of the massive amounts of work that have obviously been put into MaemoMapper. Just expressing feedback as to what I'm looking for.

I'll play some more, but at least I've got the maps thing figured out.
