Someone also reflashed their entire OS in order to get it to work! You mean this command?

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset "/apps/maemo/maemo-mapper"

I'll try it when I get home. Perhaps this should be included in the documentation, release notes or some place other than just this thread. It could also be the first thing the installer executes when you install v1.2.x.

I know I'm being a wet blanket, but this seems to be the state of most 770 SW right now - it's a pain in the a**! (BTW, I'm working on porting some SW myself right now, and much of the replies in the maemo message boards seem to be "RTFM" when people ask for help. /end rant) In the mean time, thanks for the hard work everyone - it will be a beautiful day when the 770 "just works."

I subsequently released Maemo Mapper v1.2.3. As usual, you may download the new release from the Maemo Mapper Garage Files page, or you can upgrade straight from the Garage Extras Repository (v1.2.3 is available now).

The bug may have been able to cause crashes even without using rfcomm, depending on your GPS receiver, so even if you do not use rfcomm, if you experience crashes, please upgrade to Maemo Mapper v1.2.3 before filing a bug.

And let me know if you experience crashes with the new version.

Thanks for all the feedback!
Thanks gnuite, mm 1.2.3 works perfectly for me with /dev/rfcomm0 - over an hour solid contact with the cover on. MM now does everything I need, I think.

Thanks!!

Actually, I was trying hard to avoid forcing everyone to abandon their settings just to use the new version. There apparently is a bug in the config code, however, that is causing the new code to crash in *some* (not all) situations.

So no, I'm not going to make configuration reset a required part of the upgrade process. Instead, I'm going to try to fix the bug that causes Maemo Mapper 1.2.3 to choke on older versions of the config.

Until then, I apologize for any inconvenience that may be caused by resetting your configuration.

I've been very happy with the new (fast!) changes but I've run into a problem where I always get a "Failed to connect to GPX Directions server: I/O error" when downloading routes. It took me a while to figure out that it was because I had privoxy set as a proxy for the net connection. My question: does MM work through proxies, and if not, can we have a error message that explains this? Should be as straightforward as checking to see if a proxy is set and producing an error box when downloading directions. I can probably hack up the code if someone doesn't have time. --It will save people some grief until proper proxy support can be provided.

I tried the gconf trick, but no cigar - I still get Segmentation Fault from an xterm, and nothing from the menu. Again, everything was fine with v1.1, but now 1.2.3 doesn't work. I don't have a GPS hooked up yet.

You did this as the regular user and not root?

The following patch allows Maemo Mapper to download maps from WMS servers (useful for hiking).
For downloads and more information look at: MM-Extensions

If you cleared out your gconf, and it still segfaults immediately, then it sounds like a hardware problem, because everyone else's Nokia 770s are able to load the default configuration without segfault'ing.

This is pretty cool stuff. I haven't tried it yet, but the screenshots look nice. After reading the text, though, is it practical enough for general consumption? Are all zoom levels available? How big are the downloaded files?

I am considering adding your code to the baseline. Of course, proj would be required in order to support the new functionality.
