This is how I did - but I'm sure there are better ways.

1) Learn how to edit files as root (explained elsewhere, most likely in wiki.maemo.org but also in countless threads here) and have an editor (you can install leafpad from repos).

2) open terminal, become root, edit your /usr/share/applications/hildon/nokia-maps.desktop file as follows:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=mappe
#X-Text-Domain=nokia-maps-core
Exec=/opt/mybin/mappe.sh
Icon=general_map
X-Window-Icon=general_map
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
#X-Osso-Service=NokiaMaps
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
Terminal=false
#X-Maemo-Prestarted=none
#X-Maemo-Prestarted-Priority=1000

3) then create a directory for personal executable files

Code:

mkdir /opt/mybin

cd in that directory

Code:

cd /opt/mybin

and create the mappe.sh file, containing

Code:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user/MyDocs
/usr/bin/nokia-maps /usr/share/nokia-maps/html/index.html
exit 0

Should be enough
