So, hopefully, in conjunction with the new "save current track data on close", you should be good to go.I'd also like a feature where it would auto-save the track every time it got N new positions for the track so that if/when MM crashes or the battery dies or etc, I would still have my track.
I haven't tested it though...

Hmm, maybe I'll try to test that later, shouldn't be too hard.
So John, whatabout altitude info in the track output file?

Ok cool!
Can't wait!
Well, yes I can, I still have to let the battery die and see if it saves the track..
But I am looking forward to it, so thanks a lot already!
[edit]
hmm, didn't realise your 'save track upon exit' function is not in 1.2.4, so I'll have to do my testing some other time... ;-)

hi everybody...
because i'm not fluent with linux, especially with all the tips for the 770, can someone explain me the steps to be -su and permit Maemo Mapper to reset the Bluetooth connection with the Esc key. (because it still crashing for me a i need the restart de 770 to get infomations from the GPS receiver).
is it a trick for this ? is it an 'patched OS 2006' like it was a 2005 one ?
is there some packs and libs to install ?
thanks for help...

The easiest way to enable yourself to become root is to add the repository described here and installing the becomeroot package.
Also install xterm if you haven't yet.
Once you've installed the becomeroot package, run xterm and enter:
sudo su -
Your prompt should end in #
That indicates you're now the root user. If it ends in $ then you're just the normal user.
Now edit the /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf file as described here .
Change the mac address in maemo-mapper's settings to /dev/rfcomm0 and reboot. Your GPS won't get "lost" anymore and you won't need set the escape key to reset the bluetooth connection. You can use it to toggle between street maps and satellite maps or whatever.
If you don't know how to edit a text file in linux, you can copy the file to your mmc card then connect the usb cable to your PC and edit the file with a PC editor then copy the file back to where it belongs:
as root enter in xterm:
cp /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf /media/mmc1
Connect the USB cable and on the PC edit the file then disconnect the USB cable and:
cp /media/mmc1/rfcomm.conf /etc/bluetooth
If that seems too difficult, post your GPS's mac address and I'll post an edited file for you.

Both these suggestions, of course, don't answer the original question, which is about the sudo changes required to enable bluetooth resetting. Admittedly, setting up rfcomm is better, but for those still curious about how to set up bluetooth resetting, simply gain root access and edit the /etc/sudoers (preferably using the program "visudo") file to add the following line:
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 reset

I just installed the latest OS2006 firmware and the backup omitted the Application Catalog (sources.list) so I find myself again collecting the source URIs. I added the one provided on the maemo-mapper homepage. But it's not enough. Some dependency is required. I'm guessing sqlite. Is there a repository URI for the right version of sqlite required by maemo-mapper?

Yeah, I'd like that too - it's all too easy to have the batteries run out - it could be that the last part of the file will have to be fixed in that case, but that would be easy.
