By the way, I didn't want to force the new versions of Maemo Mapper (v1.4 or greater) to require the new firmware. The new maemo SDK allows concurrent development and testing between the 770 and the N800, but unfortunately it requires the new 770 firmware. It was the most efficient way for me to continue to support the 770 platform (which is my #1 priority) and also support the new N800 platform.

So, I apologize for forcing people to upgrade their 770 firmware just for the latest versions of Maemo Mapper. Personally, I haven't had any problems with the new firmware, but I understand that some people are hesitant to upgrade without good reason.
