Perhaps there should a be quick "set up" screen or something that kind of points total noobs in a direction to get up and going in the most basic way and have that screen only appear the first time the app is run.
There is a "Quick-Start" tutorial in the Maemo Mapper help file. When a user starts Maemo Mapper for the first time, it asks them if they want to start the tutorial. If you refuse, you can always access the tutorial from the Help button in the main menu.
