It's not working for me, Thank You everyone for trying, Thank You Very Much

It works for me. Perhaps the fact that the map for that area was already downloaded is what made it work.

I found my house by looking around the area and then i tried inputting the address again, still no luck. Is there a previous version of maemo mapper in which I can revert to?

https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=29 has all versions. I'd try some other addresses 1st in case the map DB doesn't have your street or has spelled it differently.

I have another thought.

For me, finding an address works only if I'm connected online. Otherwise it says something about not being able to find the GPX server. Are you connected?

I've just verified that finding by address requires connection to the GPX server even though I had the map loaded and had searched for and found the same address when I was connected to the Internet. GeraldKo is correct.

This has always been the case with maemo mapper, it only downloads the map files and then uses the internet as address and POI lookup (POI at least downloads to a file)

I'm quite surprised it didn't work for you - I was able to use that address perfectly. I'm using the latest version of maemo mapper.

Edit:

Yes, as Gerald and others have said, it needs an active connection.

Just a suggestion, but the map repository may make a difference as well. What repositories re you guys using that had it work.

As for me I use the Open Street map repos. That way if there is an error, I can go fix it.

I may be mistaken, but from what I understand it's not linked to which repository you use.
Maemo Mapper queries a web service that looks up the gps coordinates. It should send you to the same GPS coordinates regardless of which repository you're using.
