On most mapping programs I use i.e. microsoft streets and trips, you can change the route by selecting either shortest, no tolls, quickest and so forth. After playing w/ the maemo mapper for a awhile I figured out it doen't offer those options yet. Even with out them (options) it still will be an invaluable tool for as go through cities around the country!! Thankx to the developers for putting the time in to make small minor miracles like these happen.

Anyone have any idea as to how to get maemomapper to fetch the same maps as google maps does? I would like to download and view some non uk/us maps which don't appear to be available on maemomapper .
PS Just got my 770 - it's excellent.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking in your second question. To load a new route, use the "Route -> Clear" menu item, then "Route -> Open..." or "Router -> Download..." to load a new route.
