Working now....
Gnuite was kind enough to fix it right away...

I have managed to get some maps saving off line, but the levels are still limited and it seems to be slower than over the HSPA connection.

Is this normal?
I usually "browse around" at the level and area I need cached.
No, it's not supposed to be slower from the cache than hsdpa..... at least not that I'm aware of.
The information about POI mainly relates to downloading existing POI interest. I have created many POI in Google Earth/Maps format, but it doesn't seem to work when I try to transpose this to gpx format.

Any suggestions?
Have not tried that yet.... I usually create POI's directly in mapper.

Has anyone tried the voice prompts on 3.0+beta5? I am getting the voice in a strange language.

Any one else notice this ?

The following location......
Code:
/opt/maemo/usr/share/sounds/mapper/
contains files with names *.spx, namely....

Code:
turn-left.spx
turn-right.spx
first-exit.spx
second-exit.spx
third-exit.spx
slight-left.spx
slight-right.spx
straight.spx
replace these with the new ones in the attached file to get voice prompts in English.

You can also create your own prompts by converting .wav/mp3 files (sound recordings) to .spx (speex codec)
using SpeexDrop.

I seem to remember that in the N8x0 version of MM it was possible to search for things (like a shop name) near your current location. Or then again my memory may be playing tricks on me.

I imagine this is certainly doable by sending the search string + current loc to Google and using their search, then parsing the output. Is this in the code/is there any interest in doing this as it would be very handy imo?

I had mapper working fine on my N900 until two days ago. Now It does not display the map. I have tried google, yahoo, openstreet ... with no luck.
Probably I messed up some settings. I have tried uninstalling and installing again, but even if I uninstall it seems that some settings remain.
So my question is, after I uninstall what directories/files should I remove so I can install from scratch?
Any other tip on trying to display the map? So far I have turned on and off maps>auto-download.
Thanks

Have you tried purging the application?

type the following (while the application is still installed) in terminal.....
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get purge maemo-mapper
then re-install it to see if that helps.

Forgive my ignorance. I typed "sudo gainroot" and I get:
Enable RD mode if you want to break your device

Does it mean that I should be root? If so, how do I get root access?
Thanks
