Hi Nyall,

there is one bug related to Maverick:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632785

Even though the symptoms I'm experiencing are a bit different (you
seem to be able to see some map while in my case just a gray rectangle
is displayed), the cause might be the same. See the bug description
for details and let me know if some of the mentioned workarounds
helped.

Cheers,

Jiri
