It is extremely annoying.
Any suggestions as to why?

I just had the exact same problem. Clearing the track first seems to have helped indeed.
My first suspicion was that it has to do with me using ext2fs instead of the standard vfat. I expect that maemo applications usually are not tested on ext2 and might fall over permission or character case issues.

Sorry, but it still crashes.
I'm struggling with maemo mapper generally. Anyone know of a good guide?

Are you sure it is crashing? For longer tracks (>100 miles) it takes a REALLY long time to save it and the app appears to have crashed. Get a task monitor and see if the mapper process is still using cpu power.

Fred,
It definitely crashes. I don't even get a Save dialog - the app dissappears from the screen and from the apps thing at the bottom left of the screen.
It also just crashed when I was trying to look at the Settings. The only thing unusual at the time was that it was struggling to establish a GPS fix (the GPS is on my windowsill with a poor view of the sky). Maybe the problem is bigger.
The behaviour I observe is very like that described in a post in another forum, although no answer was forthcoming:
Does MM have a log file?
Any pointers to good documentation/help for Maemo Mapper?

I'm experiencing a lot of crashes when I'm using a BT GPS module. It always crashes when I shut the GPS module off, and usually when I try to save the track (when I select the menu item). It also crashes occasionally when I just try to open settings dialog. The most annoying of these is the crashes when saving the track, because then I lose the track.
Any pointers to good documentation/help for Maemo Mapper?

But the problem is not exactly with program itself but with
gps driver enabled if no fix is avaliable.
Gps driver isn trying to establish gps fix
and on fix established, is trying to read gps data, calling this process getting fix as well (not good name for reading gps fixed data).
There is a little chance to kill gps process as it is 3 sec. loop delayed.
I suppose gps driver is eating up slow processor's time
and OS can't cure it.
There is an easy fix to it.
If your maemo mapper crashes and screen is white or not displaying maps try to put your N800 into metal case for few secs back and forth
and it should start working again.
It works like reset button in PC computers.

Darius*,
Many thanks. I can now save tracks as long as I first disable the GPS.
I guess that's what I should have been doing all along.
Now I won't have to carry a metal box around with me all the time!
