This release adds the ability to "compact" (aka "reorganize") a map cache database file. Due to the nature of GDBM, this is the only way a map cache database can decrease in size. (Otherwise, the space used by deleted maps is reused to store new maps.)

Also in this release is a key bug fix for those who have had problems with Maemo Mapper remaining in memory even after closing it. A symptom of this is not being able to start Maemo Mapper again after closing it. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should upgrade to v2.3.1.

I also added Swedish translation strings, courtesy Daniel Nylander.

CHANGELOG:
* Fixed bug where Maemo Mapper persists in memory after closing.
* Added ability to "compact" (aka "reorganize") a map cache database.
* Added documentation for using custom POI icons.
* Added Swedish translation strings.

I have found a 2GB ceiling per DB on my N800...
That is, once 2GB is reached in my VE Hybrid DB, MM closes if I attempt to download another map. If I rename the DB and start a new one everything is fine again... until I reach 2GB.

Is this unique to me, VE hybrid, or the tablet/OS ?
Or; is it a limitation of the DB file?

One alternative (which is obviously not ideal) is to split your database into two separate files, e.g. one for the United States, one for Europe, etc.

A programmatic solution would be for Maemo Mapper to start splitting database files itself based on heuristics, but that complicates the implementation (potentially requiring Maemo Mapper to search multiple databases per tile access). I will have to investigate further....

Now that the price of MMC memory has dropped, it is no big deal to have 4GB of space for the old file system.
The value of this app for me is being able to reliably drill down to level 4 (new system) anywhere in my work area (about level 12) ... 2GB doesn't quite make it...

On my N800 device MM crashes allways, if I do not escape special characters (?&=) when configuring WMS repository. Now - when using escaped characters on MM's repostiory url - on server side I get request from MM which does not look like it should be. Query has lot of carbage that does not belong to configured query.

Log on server side (Apache), 10.0.0.64 is the MM client:

10.0.0.64 - - [24/Jan/2008:13:23:59 +0200] "GET /cgi-bin/orto_3067_wms0,000000service%3Dwms%26version%3D1.1 .1%26request%3Dgetmap 0x0,00001000008d2p-1022yers%3Dorto_kkj_mv (null)rs%3D900913%26bbox%3D0,000000,0,000000,0,000 000,0,000000%26width%3D256 0,000000e+00ight%3D256 HTTP/1.1" 404 336

For example, values/parameters 0,000000 and 0x0,00001000008d2p-1022yers are something unexpected.

Is this problem of Maemo-Mapper or could this be some OS2008 library issue?

I'm using proj library, and it is able to do necessary transformations when using command line tool (cs2cs).
