MaemoMapper is great but stand alone GPS programs are better. The main problem is it doesn't do its own routes. When you enter a origin/destination it'll go online and download the directions. It also gets its maps from online. If you have a bluetooth enabled cell phone with internet you can make this all transparent. If you don't and you know the routes in advance you can download the maps and routes in advance from home/work. Bottom line, its not nearly as versatile as a GPS program that can do its own routes (maps are easy enough to download in advance), however at its price (free) you cant beat it.
Here's a post I made where people list which bluetooth GPS units they use with MaemoMapper:

I use the i-Blue 737 at its works great with MaemoMapper.
