To be honest, not maemo mapper, but I might give it a try - I wasn't aware that it was really production ready in the new OS. I was hoping that the built in map application would do the trick. I have to say, though, that it was probably the failure of the GPS that was the real problem. The other think I wanted to try was hook up my bluetooth GPS to the N900, but I had problems doing that. Maybe if I persist with that I can give the N900 another go

I don't think maep does route planning. I'll have a look at navit.
