Please, don't. The problem is not permissions but ownership. Install the directories and files in the user's home directory so that they are owned by the user named "user" and the group named "users". Then ownership will be correct, and with correct ownership there won't be any permissions problem to solve.

No, I can't -- I have an N800.

GPS mode works on the N800, although it would be easy to conlude that it doesn't.

It's necessary to pair the GPS with the N800 in Control Panel --> GPS Location. Maemo-mapper has its own GPS interface, so M-m users may not know that.
