Hi, thanks for the helpful hints. I finally ended with reflashing the system, which didn't cure the problem. But after reflashing the mmc also everything was fine again. I guess the system left some configuration stuff in the user folder which hildon-home subsequently had difficulty to parse.

Hi Mark, If Maemo Mapper would use the *vector* OSM data and do routing on the device this obviously would be great. But hey, it's open source, you can hack it :) . IMO MaemoMapper is an excellent open source app, though one always desires even more features. (and were a bit more stable,
