I just got a Bluetooth GPS receiver (GPS 737) and have been fooling around with Maemo Mapper, which is awesome in general (thanks gnuite).

I have an N800 with the firmware update. I have the latest version of Maemo Mapper v. 1.4.6. I have my map repositories set to a 2GB flash card installed in the "removable" slot.

If I turn on "auto download" everything seems to work fine. Detailed maps get loaded as I scroll around.

However, whenever I try to download a non-trivial number of maps using "Manage Maps" Maemo Mapper winds up hanging. Usually it will download some number of the maps before hanging. I can't exit Maemo Mapper. Sometimes I will get a dialog saying "Maemo Mapper is not responding...", sometimes it just stops downloading and won't repaint the Maemo Mapper screen. Sometimes it locks the N800 completely.

It doesn't seem to be the metalayer-crawl CPU issue: top does not show any kind of CPU eater.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance...
