I'm frequently using Mobile Maps 10 on the N900 while playing music at the same time. Sometimes I want to leave MM to select some other MP3 songs or to do whatever. But of course I don't want to quit MM completely.

My trick is to press the camera button which will bring up the camera application (with a message that the camera is closed). Then I close the camera application and find myself in the dashboard. Voilą!

What is your approach to task-switch out of Mobile Maps? I'm sure there must be an easier way.

Usualy Ctrl + backspace goes to taskswitcher. But I don't know if Mobile Maps has it overrided.

CTRL+Backspace will work just fine.

But one will have to slide out the keyboard... which is not very convenient while the device is in a car mount.

I've always used camkeyd to show the task dashboard using half press of the camera button.

Install camkeyd and you can get to dashboard by pressing camera button half way.

Can i ask everyone....
When switching between mobile maps and other applications, does your gps just turn off? And when you return to MM do you have to wait a second or two to find your location again? I've noticed it doesn't do it straight away, only if your doing something else for about a minute. Most annoying if you wanna send a quick text, then DOH! Missed my exit??
