I installed the latest version of Maemo Mapper for 2005 ITOS, just to play with it a bit. I tried it for an afternoon, managed to get some maps but, as I don't have a GPS receiver yet, decided I could do without it for the time. So I uninstalled the program, but all the map files are still in the cache!
How do I get rid of those memory munchers? And, more importantly, why were they not deleted when the program was uninstalled? This is not very user-friendly behaviour.

While this may seem like a limitation to you I see it as a feature I am glad exists. When I download maps, I dont want them deleted because I decided for some reason to reinstall. If you install xterm you can delete these files easily. Since your running linux maybe its time to learn how to access the command line![]()
I am extremely grateful to GNUITE for creating and providing for free an awesome tool we can all use.
once you get in xterm run "rm -rf /usr/home/apps/maemo-mapper"

I think that has to be rm -rf /home/user/apps/maemo-mapper
But thanks for the tip: I installed Osso-Xterm and got rid of the leftovers (apparently Midnight Commander only works on root-enabled 2005 ITOS, which I haven't done, so it's indeed time to brush up on those long-forgotten CLI-skills).
I still think it's wrong: on a non-modified 770, the user has no access to those directories. It might have been better to use a default directory that is accessible from the (admittedly lame) built-in filemanager.

OK you got me, user/home home/user you get the drift. You can also make a link to root so you can access everything from filemanager if you prefer.
ln -s / /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/ROOT
I personally do not know why you would want one of these without shell access, its a must have.

Tried out some GPX route plotting apps on the web today, but Maemo Mapper didn't want to load the .gpx files for some reason =(
Here's a nice app that uses Google Maps: http://home.mindspring.com/~mfkenney/gpsroute.html
