Oops, my bad, there's a typo in the README file, that has to be /media/mmc1/map/navicore/ldb (i.e map, not maps).

Sorry if that's the cause of the problem.
No, that was ok. On the typo error situation you might like to know of another one:-
2) edit the Exec= line in the file
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.navicore.services
should be /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.navicore.service
i.e. no ‘s’ at the end of ‘com.nokia.navicore.service’

Try opening a console (utilities->x-terminal) and type

/home/user/navistart
Is there a certain glitchieness in XTeminal do you think? It behaves erratically on both tablets.

Anyway, after much retyping and retrying, finally navistart took the command and launched Navicore, fully activated and functional. It now launches from the Applications Menu by tapping on Map.

It looks like all it needed was a kick-start - which you achieved by the command line in terminal.

Thank you for your help and patience and, of course, enhancing my criminally neglected Linux knowledge.

This aforesaid fix only works for prior owners, not for all, right?
Do you have a N800 that you want to use?
