What kind of link you are talking about? can you show me a link example in any websites which you know?
Is there a way?

I guess gnuite may not want to do this because after taking all the pain to develop such feature it got very limited usage after that. ....because not many websites using kml format,
but i guess by editing the MM source code and the browser settings you may able to make your tablet to do that. I have very limited knowledge about editing source code so i am not able to help you.

I'm looking for a way to force maemo-mapper to go to a arbitrary position (nothing to enter).
I wonder how I can simulate a GPS device to do so?
My plan is to setup maemo-mapper so as it fetches the info to, say, /dev/tty10... then NMEA sentences to the dummy device.
Something like
exec 3<>/dev/tty10
echo "t$GPRMC,040302.663,A,3939.7,N,10506.6,W,0.27,358. 86,200804,,*1A" > /dev/tty20
I tried few things but nothing I can do as a poor linux user works. Can somebody give me some directions pleeaaaaaase?

I am interested in trying MM with nautical charts, has anyone done this?
What I have in mind is the following:
NOAA in the US publish free very detailed raster charts of US waters in 'BSB' format. (Many other countries publish in this format too, but they are not free). 'BSB' format uses a .kap image file - which looks like it can be converted to, for example, ( a huge) .tiff which can ultimately be processed by mapcruncher (http://research.microsoft.com/mapcruncher/) into a format that can be used by MM.
I have seen various posts (mostly by kempja) about making your own maps from images. Did these ever come to fruition?
FWIW. Here is a site (http://www.zoomatron.com) that has done something along these lines, only he has overlaid NOAA'a charts on to top Virtual Earth maps.

Hi all,
I'm very new to the N770, and I've got a bit of a problem, which was entirely self inflicted.
I was messing about with the settings and managed to delete the poi DB and mess up the map repositories. I read that the DB file should be recreated when the program starts, but this doesn't appear to happen.
So I thought i'd uninstall the program and reinstall it. But this hasn't fixed the problem. It still retains all my previous settings, despite being uninstalled.
Is there any way for me to completely wipe any retained settings for Maemo Mapper so that I can have a completely fresh install of it?
Thanks.

hey fellas
do you have any idea how can i place an overlay on the existing map (for example, like in Google Maps/Earth)? i have a perfect piece of topographic maps for my location and it will be great to put those stuff on, for example, google maps data in Maemo Mapper.
thanx in advance!

Love Maemo Mapper. When I installed the new release 2.0.5 on my N800 it now crashes as soon as it tries connecting to the internet to download repositories. ANY advice?
