Install for the Nokia 770 or the Nokia N800:(Note: To run Maemo Mapper on the Nokia 770, you must have the latest version of the firmware, 3.2006.49-2.)

There is now a help file in Maemo Mapper - just select the "Help" menu item from inside Maemo Mapper. There's even a quick "Getting Started" section to help new users get accustomed to how Maemo Mapper works.

This is the first release targeted specifically to both the Nokia 770 and the Nokia N800. The code is identical, but due to the differences in platform library versions (and due to code optimization flags), the binary .deb files will (from now on) take on two different forms:

1. maemo-mapper_1.4.4-2_armel.deb - The "-2" refers to "maemo2" and means that this file is built for the Nokia 770.
2. maemo-mapper_1.4.4-3_armel.deb - The "-3" refers to "maemo3" and means that this file is built for the Nokia N800.

If you are getting a dependency error, then you will have to upgrade to the most recent official firmware (3.2006.49-2, aka maemo 2.2, aka gregale). This is NOT the OS2007-on-770 firmware, so you don't have to worry about it breaking your 770. I hate to force you guys into update, but it is necessary in order to properly support both the 770 and the N800 platforms. I should probably remove those debs from the mistral and scirocco repostitories, though - woops, my bad.

Besides the obvious change, this release changes the database backend from sqlite0 to sqlite3. Although this will increase performance slightly, and it is already installed on the N800 (thus facilitating code sharing), it does mean that you will have to reformat your POI databases. The old databases will not (necessarily?) work with the new version of Maemo Mapper. You may be able to find a conversion utility on the internet, but I haven't looked.

If you are getting the "encrypted or is not a database" error, please delete the "poi.db" file and restart Maemo Mapper (at which point Maemo Mapper will create a new poi.db). If you haven't changed the defaults, then the file should be located in the Documents directory. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you want to keep your old POIs, you will have to convert the poi.db file as instructed above.

Oh, and one other new feature: you can now download a list of map repositories directly from the internet (hosted by www.gnuite.com). In the Repository Manager, just push the "Download..." button and (assuming you are connected to the internet) Maemo Mapper will download a set of the following 5 repositories for you to use (subject to their respective license agreements):

Google Maps (street)
http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.9...d&y=%d&zoom=%d

Google Maps (satellite)
http://kh.google.com/kh?n=404&v=99&t=%s

Virtual Earth (street)

Amix,

Use these in your aplication loader (start app mgr >tools>application catalogue then select a new catalogue)

http://repository.maemo.org/ scirocco free non-free

you should then find libsqlite0 install that.

the lib to look for is actually libsqlite3-0
it is provided with python and some other stuff in the n800 (doesn't come preinstalled iirc)

I have loaded libsqlit3-0 already.

Any ideas?

Do you mean hildon-libs0? I assume this is for the 770. Is anyone else experiencing this error on the 770? If so, which version of the firmware are you running? I hope this build doesn't require gregale, because if it does, I'm going to be upset.

I built the deb using gregale, since that's the only one that works with the new scratchbox that is required by bora, but I didn't think that it required gregale in order to run.

Previous firmware: 2.2006.39-14; yes, missing dependency.

I had the same problem with firmware 2.2006.39-14. After upgrading to latest firmware (3.2006.49-2) the installation worked.
