And how did you install it? Did you install it to KDE or Maemo?

PCQ, why do you want to use RoadNav instead of Maemo Mapper?

It was pretty tricky getting it properly configured, as the config panels need more than 800x480, so I ended up hitting tab a bunch of times to try to hit the invisible "ok" button.

Also I like using the line maps to save space.

Since I'm running my 810 KDE ~97% of the time lately & while Maemo Mapper will run from xterm (how I've been getting maemo apps to run in KDE), it doesn't allow one to access the menus & this limits it functionality. I was wondering if RoadNav could be ported into PenquinBait's KDE.
I can always logout of KDE when ever I need gps, which isn't very often. In maemo, MM works great.

PCQ feel free to try my build of roadmap at http://maemobox.org/dblank/roadmap_1.1.0-1_armel.deb
There were some things I was planning on doing before sharing a .deb, but I forgot what they were
I don't know about the N810, but I had to run /usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper and then have roadmap use gpsd to get it working on my N800.
Edit: you may want to edit /usr/local/bin/roadmap.sh, and add "sleep 10;" (without quotes) after the &, it takes my GPS at least a few seconds before it starts spitting out data. Also set --maps to wherever your maps are.

RoadNav generates routes on the fly? I'll have to try again to get it working. I still can't make it find my GPS on my EeePC, and I had just about given up on it. It's difficult to learn the features when the app doesn't work.
