So, I've been using the 2006 OS and the updates to mapper and I've been having a problem. When I go to download a route, I start typing and it pulls up 'previous' selections. Like if I type in a '1' it will display the last address I used that had a '1' in it. How-ever, I'm unable to click, stab or do anything to select the address that appears. I have to type the whole thing in by hand. Am I missing something obvious?
Yeah, unfortunately this appears to be the behavior of Maemo for autocompletes. As has been noted, you can't use the stylus to select one of the autocomplete suggestions - you have to use the DPad. And it can be difficult to see which one is actually selected if there are only two suggestions...
I hope the Maemo developers work on usable autocomplete.
I am travelling in europe with Mapper and everythng has been great, but today google stopped to give out waypoints! Route is still coming Ok (thank god for that), but no waypoints. I drowe 4 times to wrong direction today (as many as whole week before that)! Can anybody find reason and cure for this?

Looks like Google is changing the format frequently.
It would be nice, if maemo-mapper could support importing alternatives like http://www.elsewhere.org/journal/gmaptogpx
(they seem to be up to date)

Can you post an example GPX file produced by that software so that I can try to fix Maemo Mapper?
It may be that I am selectively blind, but is there any way to CREATE a waypoint in maemo-mapper without use of a GPX file or GPS?
I have cached map data that I will be using on a trip, and I would like to be able to mark locations with small decriptions on it. Is this possible already, or am I requesting a feature?

It's only a bookmarklet, so installation should be no issue for firefox.
Format differences:
Two files can be created: one for the route (in track format) and one for directions (with direction descriptions as <cmt> instead of <desc>)
in waypoint, route or track format.
The feature you're looking for is POI-- Points of Interest. With this version it's possible although you can't edit/remove them currently. Make sure you add at least one point of interest manually (As shown on the web page) or it will crash when you try adding one in Maemo Mapper.

I have the newest version of Maemo Mapper and everything was working fine 2 days ago, but starting today the announcement features no longer work at all. There is no chime as I approach waypoints like it used to, and the text popups no longer actually pop up!
The green route line is still there and my blue-dot position is shown, but that's it. I've checked all the settings a dozen times... they haven't changed, but somehow these features stopped working.
The only thing I diid was install the Descent II game (which I can't play because they provided no levels on their site like they said they did), and I installed xournal and Ogg Vorbis. Can installing apps break current features inside MM? I so, that sucks.... I'll uninstall them. YOUR app takes top priority.

Were the green dots (along the green line) still there? If not, then the waypoints aren't being generated.
I just tested the GPX Directions web page, and no waypoints are being generated. As was suggested earlier, it looks like Google Maps has changed their output format. I'll have to fix GPX Directions to work with the new format. Fortunately, this doesn't require a change to Maemo Mapper.
