Thank you for all of that. I have spent too much time in the past on MS-DOS but am completely lost when it comes to Linux. I use EasyRoot to become root.

Thanks to your help I now have the instructions in your README.txt fully implemented.

The problem is that Navicore will not run on the new N800, it shows ‘Maps Loading’ and then drops out.

I have reinstalled Navicore on the new N800 just so as to be certain that it does work albeit unactivated. Then repeated your README.txt instructions.

So I have two N800’s each with identical contents of the activated /home/user/.navicore/ldb

I have two SD cards each with identical contents of the activated /media/mmc1/maps/navicore/ldb

The old activated N800 runs Navicore irrespective of which SD card is in the slot but the new N800 doesn’t get past ‘Maps Loading’ with either SD card in the slot.

I have double checked and checked again that the files mac and /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.navicore.service are correctly configured, no typos etc. I have tried mac with upper and lower case letters. I have both the WLAN MAC and the Bluetooth.

All of the zipped contents of navicore.zip are in the /home/user directory. A note here, I do not have a Zip app on the N800 so I unzipped the file on my Win7 compute and then copied all of the contents into the /home/user directory.

Although I had a few flustered moments initially, I am confident now that I have followed the instructions correctly and accurately.

It seems that the new N800 is not finding all that it is looking for. Would you have any thoughts I wonder?
