Could someone please point me to a step by step guide to using Maemo Mapper with OS2006 or 2007 for the complete linux illiterate. I have finally managed to get it installed but at a complete loss as to how to get the different maps, where to store them and how to use them offline. I have searched this forum but couldn't find an easy answer so apologies if it is already there and thanks in advance for any help.

From the menu, choose 'Help...', scroll to the bottom, and choose the 'Getting Started' link.

You have problems, then... 
Try going into help from the home screen then, go to contents, and see if you can find Maemo Mapper there. If not, you may have to re-install it, but MM has really great help (one of few programs that do), so you will want to do what it takes to get it.

I should try and generate an HTML version of the help file, which I can post online.

Web location: http://repository.maemo.org/contrib/
Distribution: 2.0
Components: free
and installed it into 'Extras'.
By the way, thanks for a great job John although I haven't used it yet but it seems from what I've read is that it is almost legendary.
