Release Notes and Changelog

As usual, use the Application Manager to update your version of Maemo Mapper to the latest, or grab it straight from the Maemo Mapper Garage Files page. Or, if you're downloading it anew, use the 770/N800-agnostic .install file.

Enjoy!
Cool! Downloaded it last night and was eager to see if the continuous update problem was gone. Had to wait until this afternoon since I was comfortably in bed at the time.

Seems to be working. It's definitely now more "insensitive" than other applications I've used recently, but I can get used to this. The map's so large that I can figure out myself in some cases how to get back to my route.

Thanks for fixing this.

Also finally figured out how to create POIs, but is there a way to create a route to a POI besides "go to nearest"?

I need to skim the online documentation again...

Nice.

You can tap and hold on any POI on the screen and select "POI | Route to..." from the pop-up menu.

Yep, but that means the POI has to be on the screen. I was wondering if there was a way to access them from the menu, or from a dialog opened from the menu.

Maybe adding a quick way to use them in Route>Download or a separate item like Route>To POI>_ITEM_ or have this open another dialog list.

In general I try to use Maemo Mapper while it's mounted in the car (without stylus) about 2.5 ft. away from my face. There are lots of little things that are harder when you don't have the device in your hands. This is one of them.

(It looks like you spent time thinking about putting common menu items at the top of the menu, so I think you have thought about the "no stylus" case.)

I don't have my 770 in front of me, but I can try to come up with a short list of usability 'issues' you're interested and have time.

Thanks.

I had the same problem just after the n800 firmware upgrade, and more annoying : the applicaiton suddently quits just by clicking in the map.
Maybe due to older restored settings.
These problems disappears yesturday, maybe when I install the new version of Mapper...

I think there's a problem in the part of the code that parses Lat/Long text entered in the "Area" tab of the Map Manager. If I change the degree display format in the "Misc2" settings to S dd° mm' ss.s", it seems the pre-populated values in the "Area" tab are incorrectly re-parsed by the software to determine which maps to download. This generates errors when trying to retrieve Google maps in bulk, and although VE reposititories don't report download errors, the tiles retrieved are blank. This does not affect auto-downloading of maps as you browse, only downloads requested via the Map Manager.

I experienced this problem with Maemo Mapper v1.4.7-2

Please forgive me if i am asking a silly question.

I installed the 1.4.7 in my 770 (latest firmware)and downloaded the repositories also. I didn't have any issue till this point. I don't have GPS and i believe that i can download standalone maps. hence i gave an origin and end point and clicked download button. it said route downloaded. but the screen is blank completely black. Whats the reason for this? i even made full screen and it didnt work. i also removed the option of "Enable only in full screen mode" nothing worked. help me

Make sure that autodown load maps is turned on, and zoom in or out on the maps to force it to update. Also, make sure your repositories are correctly set up.

Good Luck

Look at gnute's first entry in this thread. He has a list of all the repositories. You might try the Virtual Earth repository. It seems to work well.
