I'd suggest adding this to the help file. I had to work to find this answer.
Great application!

Wow - that's great. didn't know you could do that. I have a load of different poi catagories for the UK which I used with my garmin. I'll see about converting them and posting them somewhere for people to access. Maemo Mapper amazes me everytime I use it. I've been checking to see if I could find a UK traffic alerts feed which would be parsed into something MM could use.

I'm seeing a problem with MM 2.3. It seems to fail to exit properly, and I have to do a cold reboot before I can start it again after exiting. It happens every time on my N800. Turning it off while charging won't do it - I have to take it off charge, turn it off, and reboot getting the blue line crawling across the bottom before it will run again. It has crashed a couple of times requiring removing the battery. Downloading maps seems to do that, but I'm not sure. The requirement to reboot after exiting is repeatable, though, at least on mine.

OS2008, on an N800. I'll try the cpu monitor. Anyone know the official place for bug reports for MM?
Found the bug reports on the project page in Maemo Garage, I'm assuming that's the official site. Lots of reports there, none seem to have been addressed, at least in writing there. I hope this one gets fixed, because I'm probably not going to use it again until it is. I have no idea what's going on while it's running after it's supposed to be killed. I also don't want to have to do a cold reboot every time I run it.
I tried to install the cpu monitor, but it seems to be for older OS only, it won't install on 2008.

There may also be a bug in the thread exit logic - I'll look into it. Or, I can try to kill the threads manually (not sure what kind of resources that might leave open, though).
And yes, the garage site is the right place for reporting bugs. There are a lot of fixed bugs, too, they just aren't displayed by default.

OK, thanks for the explanation. I look forward to getting the thread exit issue fixed. And I was assuming that the garage bug report site just wasn't getting updated, even if the bugs have been fixed. It would be nice to see the actual current status, but I realize there are higher priorities.

I have installed and uninstalled Maemo Mapper a few times and keep returning to the default Wayfinder app, crippled as it is. Even though I can appreciate how capable Maemo Mapper is, there is something about the interface that annoys me.
I use the map application is mostly when I'm traveling by bike or public transport through, to find the nearest shop that sells x, or when I'm lost in an unfamiliar city. I know I should read the manual etc. but when I have to find out the difference between 'tap point' 'waypoint' 'route point' ,'break' and 'mark' or the difference between a 'track' and a 'route' my attention is gone.
I would ideally like to select an area of the map, instead of entering coordinates, preload the maps in that area, with a dialog showing me how much diskpace is left. Then quickly find an address, not so much a route.
