I get an error when i try to install it with that link. It tells me that it is for a different version of my os. Has t worked for anyone else with a n800?

Wow, that sucks. I guess OS 2006 .install files don't work on OS 2007, even though their formats are identical.

I edited the post to identify the repository information so you can enter it in manually. Sorry for the inconvenience. :/

Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras
Distribution: mistral
Components: free non-free

Maemo Mapper is in the "Applications" category.

yeah, it guess it only accepts it when it's set to bora. I'll go ahead and install it and give a post on how it goes.

looks like it works fine now. Didn't put me into a reboot loop this time. Though if the n800 loses contact with my bluetooth gps unit it crashes.

Just installed maemo mapper 1.3.4 without error on my n800, 51-6.
Added URI from 1st example, Downloading Maps progress bar shows, but screen
totally black. Why doesn't a map show?

Need to set auto-center maybe ?

What is the URI, exactly?
Is Auto-Download enabled?
Is your "Map Cache" set to a location with free space?

URI is http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.11&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d
map cache is /media/mmc2/Maps which has 790 MB free (internal sdcard). Details show 72 folders/12MB in Maps dir.

Auto-download is Enabled.

The version number of that URI is deprecated. Occasionally, Google Maps will update its version of maps, and although they keep older versions around for at least a little while, they eventually remove them completely.

The version number is determined by the "v=xxx" parameter. In your case, the version number is w2.11, which no longer works. You can get the current version by looking at the source of the http://maps.google.com/ page. The latest version is w2.37, but if you want to "future-proof" your URI, you can use something unrealistically large, like w2.99, and for some reason that works.
