If it still doesn't work, run this command in XTerm (which will clear your settings in GConf) and re-start Maemo Mapper:
Code:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset "/apps/maemo-mapper"

And, if you want to make it start out somewhere else... and you don't have a GPS receiver you can do something like this:

Code:

gconftool-2 --type float --set /apps/maemo-mapper/last_longitude -- -115
gconftool-2 --type float -- set /apps/maemo-mapper/last_latitude 45

Just make sure the app isn't running when you do this.

(It took me a bit of time to figure out how to enter a negative value for longitude... so I included it in the example above.)
