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

I've noticed the same issue that whats_up_skip & pigro reported previously. On several recent hour-long walks while trying to use tracking & listen to music with a bluetooth headset my tablet has almost completely locked up, once draining the battery from about 3/4 full so I had to swap to my backup. On either occasion the tablet was so unresponsive that I'm sure if a call had come in I would'nt have been able to answer it. It took quite a long time of fighting to close either running application down so I could at least get it to respond at all.
Great piece of software otherwise
. Keep up the good work. TX

I stopped media player after a while, and later on when I stopped for a coffee I realised the n900 had switched itself off. It wa totally dead & unresponsive - it would not power on again until after I took out the battery - when I put it back in, the phone booted up fine again.

I just installed mapper (don't know why I didn't do so before, I always used this on my n810), and I'm stumped by it not enabling and finding my GPS.
That's right, it says 'Searching for GPS receiver', but the GPS icon in the tray doesn't show up. So it will never find it.
It does, however, seem to fake a GPS as it claims I'm doing 20km/h while sitting on a chair... weird.
The version is 1.0.6.7, downloaded from the repositories.
Is this a known issue?

It seems the default setting is GPS simulation. I managed to find the place where you can configure the GPS (hint, it's under File, pretty obvious
)

I've just updated to Mappero 3.0beta7 (new name for Maemo Mapper)
As suggested in another thread, I created a wrapper for espeak named "flite" to enable voice navigation
the above code is saved with filename "flite" (without quotes) in the location "/usr/bin/".
Has anyone had success with this?
Can anyone else test for spoken directions with this work around?

In mappero is there a way to keep the map zoom at the previous level? So that the map view is actually bigger, and the street names are more readable? I know that was possible on the N800 but haven't figured it out on this.
