Looking really promising!
Agreed.

Agreed... Still haven't figure out the best way to use the small screen but am working on it

Use the volume buttons for zoom. Use the enter key to center your location.

You can get the source code with "apt-get source geeps". It is a bit of a mess right now.

Have you found it? I got the category wrong... it may be easier searching for the name (geeps).

In their infinite wisdom, Nokia decided that the screen only stays on "while charging", not while plugged in, but full battery, so not actually "charging".
Agreed. Didn't know about the "while charging" thing - sounds almost like a joke.
