Please let me know if you find a workaround.

Thanks
No workaround yet. It is not they that don't know, it is more like they don't care, we live in Android and iPhone world now and I think MIDP maps are no longer supported, you can't even download them from Google or so it seems. I'm afraid we are SOL here, which is unfortunate as I was very excited to get GM working on N900. Having said that it should be possible to decompile Java classes, fix the issue if it is a simple problem, and assemble the app back. Looking at the stack trace the code is obfuscated so this will make it a bit more difficult. This will surely violate all sorts of license agreements but I'm not sure if we care... I wouldn't hold my breath though as it is very likely that the app will break again in the future, so the fix, even if possible, will only buy you some time.
