Street names is show without navigation liense. What is the map region? Try to search address.

Mine did the same thing, no street names. I drove around with the gps on and closed the map application on accident. I opened it back up and I had street names and other things like gas stations etc. I live in a prety rural area too.

Hope everything works out for you.

What view are you in? I don't believe street names are ever shown in 3D view. And in overhead view you have to zoom down very low before the names show.

My N810 Map application also displays without street names.

I have not been able to discover a way to make them display.

I have not used the N810 in the car as of yet.

It's pretty silly how far you have to zoom in to get street names

I have TomTom mobile on my Nokia N80 mobile phone and it shows street names in every mode and you can even zoom out really far. Wayfinder is not really good software, quite "basic". I am not gonna buy license.

When I was out using the GPS today with the N810, street names were visible even way far out like 200-400 yards. Then sometimes they would be blank or some streets might not be named at all but only major routes and highways were.

I know at first when I fired up the GPS and all I saw were road lines and rivers I was kinda appaled. But after I drove arround a bit and relaunched and resyned my GPS I found that I had some street names and even places like gas stations were being found that werent visible the first time I turned it on.

I'm hoping the author of maemo-mapper will figure out a way to use the Wayfinder maps in his app, but with better display of street names.
