*Install new libgps16
**Get http://packages.debian.org/sid/libgps16/armel/download
**
That url above contains no package to download. I searched the debian package repository for libgps16 and libgps and got no hits. If anyone has a suggestion that might save me a few hours of searching, I'd really appreciate it.
Also, it looks like the complete and total fix for this problem is spread out over several posts in this thread. I'd be happy to quote the posts all in one reply or compile the whole list of steps if someone could just tell me which post numbers are the relevant ones. There are fixes for os2008 on the n810 and n800 scattered through the thread as well adding even more confusion.
On a positive note, MM 2.3.1 seems to perform quite well. I'm not bothering with rotating, but the panning is great. I also really appreciate map db compaction.

Thanks j800. I figured out what was wrong. Some packages have been updated, so I updated your steps:
Here's the process I followed:
*Install new libgps17
**Get http://packages.debian.org/sid/libgps17/armel/download
**mkdir tmp1
**dpkg --extract libgps17* tmp1
*Install new gpsd
**Get http://packages.debian.org/sid/gpsd/armel/download
**mkdir tmp2
**dpkg --extract gpsd_2* tmp2
*Copy new files into place
**cp tmp2/usr/sbin/gpsd /usr/sbin
**cp tmp1/usr/lib/* /usr/lib
*Tweak libs
**cd /usr/lib
**ln -s libdbus-1.so.2.0.0 libdbus-1.so.3
So then, as described in another post:
edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf using your mac address and BT reciever's name:
power cycle to test the rfcomm's ability to bind on startup
at root prompt, "rfcomm" should report the receiver's data
in MM, open the settings dialog and choose the 'file path' option with "/dev/rfcomm0" as the path
then enable GPS.

# Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;
# Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:00:00:00:00:00;
# RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 1;
# Description of the connection
comment "btG-7000";
}
at root prompt, "rfcomm" should report the receiver's data
in MM, open the settings dialog and choose the 'file path' option with "/dev/rfcomm0" as the path
then enable GPS.

Hello all
I have two question :
1) Can I change my POI database on the fly? Say, another application will add/remove some POI and m-mapper will update them automatically?
2) Is there a way to simulate a external GPS position so that m-mapper will automatically center on some place?
thanks to whoever can answer that!

Is there any way to make map db with windows pc and if is how can I make working mm db?

2) Press and hold the place you want to add and then select touch point -> set as a gps location or something (I have a finnish translation).

If you really want to simulate GPS, you can use the command-line program "gpsfake", which is part of gpsd. This isn't trivial.
Or, if you want to "simulate" having a "current location" in Maemo Mapper, so that you can use things like routing to a location from your "current location," then you can tap-and-hold on a location on the screen and use the "Set as GPS Location" menu item, in the "Tap Point" sub-menu.

Also, is there a way to change the "current location" that is stored in a file somewhere (when gps is off)? Then m-mapper will open up wherever I decide.

- Set gconf settings prior to starting Maemo Mapper. The relevant gconf settings are as follows:
- /apps/maemo/maemo-mapper/center_latitude
- /apps/maemo/maemo-mapper/center_longitude
- /apps/maemo/maemo-mapper/center_angle
- /apps/maemo/maemo-mapper/zoom
- While Maemo Mapper is running, use Maemo Mapper's DBUS interface:
- Service: com.gnuite.maemo_mapper
- Path: /com/gnuite/maemo_mapper
- Interface: com.gnuite.maemo_mapper
- Method: set_view_center
- gdouble new_lat;
- gdouble new_lon;
- gint new_zoom;
- gdouble new_viewing_angle;

Mapper problem:
when I go into menu route/download the app freezes if it is the 2nd time I have done a download in the current session. Same if I "download route" from a screen tap.
running 2.3.1 on OS2008 on N800
update: a reboot seems to have fixed it.

This worked for me. I am now running maemo-mapper 2.3 on my 770 with 2007he. The one thing I found was that libgps16 has been replaced with libgps17 so the above download link does not work anymore. I had to find the updated package on the site. I downloaded it from here http://packages.debian.org/sid/armel/libgps17/download I used one of the ftp links because firefox just opened the file in a browser window when I clicked the www USA links.
Incompatible application package.
said Application manager
Just test the above link.

- Amazegps.com
- Nav4All.com
Both of them provide accurate map tiles and routes for South Africa. Google does not. They work FANTASTICALLY well on my cellphone. Maemo mapper can't route me at all because Google doesn't have decent maps or any routing at all for South Africa
Or does anyone know any way to get routing for South Africa into Maemo mapper?
Thanks!
