You are THE MAN ! Maemo Mapper is an amazing piece of work. You are to be commended. I upgraded from 1.4x to 2.0 then 2.0.1 last night. I had some snags, but I read every post in this thread, and tried some things I saw here and got it working perfectly. Excellent work on your part.

If I may make one small suggestion. I had to do a fresh install, and I followed a xterm command you posted in this thread earlier. That seemed to do the trick (that and renaming / moving my old maps). My suggestion is this: I became accustomed to MM automatically starting my N800 Bluetooth when I started MM. My first time launching MM 2.0.1 this did not take place (understandably), I went to "settings" in MM and saw no MAC for my GPS device (understandably too). I pressed "scan" and the MM began scanning....never found anything. The reason was that I had not ( and MM had not ) launched the N800 BT. I think you should not scan without insuring the user (or MM) has first turned on the BT within the N800. This is not a criticism in any way. It is an observation, and I think you will agree a tiny addition to your code would take care of this in a up coming revision.

All in all, Maemo Mapper is an awesome application. It is my first GPS toy, and I bought a BT GPS unit last week solely to play with MM on my N800 ( which I have had for 3 weeks now ). Congratulations on an excellent piece of software. I am going out for a 35 mile drive in the car now to play with MM 2.0.1
