Once you have your new activity, and the map is displayed, there is a "Map Source" button in the menu (click on the window title). You need to restart eCoach for the new map to display.


My goal is to take my N900 with me for a mountain bike ride and have it record my journey then later on see what that path looks like on a map
The way I do it:
Click on "New Activity" on the main screen. Enter some info, and OK. You're then in the map screen, click on "Rec" to start recording. Go for your ride, and click on "Rec" again once you're done. You should see the track in red of where you've been. If you close the map, and go into Activity Log, it gives you a bit more data on speed and distance.

Note that you need a data connection to get the initial GPS fix. If the internet connection dies after that, I think the map stays blank, but it'll still record your track (as long it's got a GPS signal). It saves the .gpx file in the eCoach folder.
