So after a few situations where Maemomapper gave me grief (couldn't get a route over DUN, or route downloaded over DUN but would not show up, Google Maps deciding to not download, OpenStreetMaps becoming slow to update...) I went on a search for a replacement and ran up on NAVIT. After a few days of tweaking I am now a happy NAVIT user. No need for internet to get directions. Decent redraws, etc. I'm keeping MM around as a backup but won't be bothering it unless NAVIT gives me grief. One thing that MM has over NAVIT is when getting a location. At least the Google Query will parse an address for closest match. NAVIT will simply refuse to go anywhere it doesn't find in the map.bin file. For example I attempted to put in my mother's address but it refused to believe that she lived in the town I told it. I had to try 4 different towns before her street would appear. Similarly NAVIT decided that my job address wasn't real.

The good thing is that once you manage to locate the address (say GPS coordinates) you can bookmark the location so you don't have to bother with the search tool. This is the primary reason why I am keeping MM around (fallback).

Of course there is still the problem of the N800 screen glare issue. If anyone wants to part with an 810 with a decent price I may consider it.

Anyway if any of you N800 people are looking for a MM replacement, Navit is it. I can share my navit.xml modifications if you like.
