Nokia 770 maemo mapper navigation software installagtin problems

Hi,

maemo mapper is free navigation software for Nokia 770 and Nokia 800.
Try hard to install it from author's web page
and one library is still misssing (Debian package).

Don't get any reply from an author.
What's wrong with maemo mapper ?
Could you help me and contact with one person using maemo mapper on
Nokia 770 ?

Have you tried to install via tools/application manager on N770.
I use MM on N800 and all works well

Thanks Duncan,

I am sure, it works fine with N800.
Unfortunately my N770 can't find libraries upon installation of maemo-
mapper package.

John was so nice, to provide me with advice on how to proceed with the
installation.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.
I have opened install file in notepad :

[install]
repo_name = gregale-extras
repo_deb = deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras gregale free non-
free
package = maemo-mapper

Opening it in N770 I get
Not found? OK
message.

Another link on download
and installation
I get message
Unable to install
Incompatible package.


Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I use N770 not N800.

Tried to update system but got message my system is the newest one.
What can I do next ?

I want to buy another N770 unit with successfully preinstalled maemo-
mapper,
new or used one.

To resolve dependencies that Maemo Mapper has, please install via the
gregale application repository, or use the .install file:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/dists/gregale/install/maemo-mapper.install

If neither of those options work, then you can install sqlite3
manually via the following link:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/gregale/free/s/sqlite3/libsqlite3-0_3.3.5-0.2osso1_armel.deb

I installed it from one of the community repositories (maemo.org, the
"2.0 free" one I think), not from a web page, I don't know how the
package manager handles requirements but it installed without issue
for me.

It works fine, although it's limited due to only working on bitmapped
maps with no routing, but I was watching it on a recent train journey,
downloading maps via my mobile phone and even using google earth's
satellite images. Interesting if not as useful as a proper sat nav.

will find folk are using it for routing via google maps I think.
I just use it with OSM as backdrop for capturing GPS traces
