I tried to import a gpx track file from a Garmin device. Maemo did not like it: parse error. I patched the file manually:
1. Changed
to
2. Deleted the <metadata> and <extensions> xml-elements.
This fixed the import.
PS. Thanks for the great software gnuite.
1. Changed
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <gpx xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1" creator="MapSource 6.11.1" version="1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 gpx.xsd">
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <gpx xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0" creator="MapSource 6.11.1" version="1.0" >
This fixed the import.

Through slightly overzealous pruning of the N800 internal storage, I nuked my (empty) default POI database. Now maemo-mapper complains about the missing file on startup. Is there an easy way to regenerate this db, preferably on \media\mmc2 where I store my maps?

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.

If you want to use /media/mmc2 for your POI database, just change the setting in the POI tab of the Settings dialog. When maemo-mapper restarts, it will create the file if it doesn't already exist (again, assuming the file is valid and writable).

I have been using Maemo Mapper for 30 minutes... so, please forgive me if this is a naive question.
Is it possible to add to the Go to menu an option to go to a street address, city/town or zip code?
If I want to get a map of a place I am visiting, I need to create a route to it and then navigate through the maps and zoom in to the endpoint of the route. I keep thinking there should be an easier way to get to the map of a location. Using any of the yahoo maps, google maps etc., I just type in the zip code and press enter and am right where I want to see.
thx
edit:
Another useful thing I would like is a "Go Back" option, This would go back to the previously viewed map.
Now if I press Toggle auto center by accident it goes back to my GPS. then it takes me ages to get back to the map I was looking at
A way to disable some hardware keys by setting an action of "None" to it would be nice also.

Got it - autocreate was failing because I nuked not only the file but also the original Maps directory that contained it. So just altering the filespec with that in mind did the right thing.
Truly idiot proof code might take the extra step of creating the target directory if necessary. I guess it depends on how much you're inclined to coddle idiots. ;-)
Anyway, thanks for the tip!

Hey guys, im a complete noob to this thing. Ive got an n800 with updated os. Trying to install maemo mapper. When i click the link on the op, on my pc it prompts me to download an install file. When i click from the tablet, im taken to a text only page with what looks like an install command. Any help?
**Edit** I got it working. I just had to edit the repository settings.

Thanks for the suggestions.
