Oh, wow ... i tried it and it is indeed much more useful than i expected it to be. Great!
There are two issues with Harmattan which also arise under Symbian and which i therefore had to implement a solution for. Perhaps you want to re-use these:
- Symbian also has no controls to close full screen windows. To cope with this the customwindow.cpp contains some magic to implement a custom window title with icon and a "back" arrow in the top right corner.
- Symbian doesn't support finger/touch scrolling by itself. This is implemented in flickcharm.cpp (inspired by but not identical to a similar solution from nokia). Just enable the flickcharm section in the pro file and finger scrolling should be possible in most lists
Also you might consider removing the non-fullscreen mode entirely as it doesn't seem to make much sense on harmattan and the button just eats up screen space.
CacheMe 0.8.12 is out and e.g. addresses the map arrow heading in the main map. It's now bound to the magnetic compass and always points in the right direction.

The reason why some ppl have been wondering that the OSM maps look old is that the OSM plugin actually seems to use cloudmade maps instead of OSM.
The OSM plugin currently fetches tiles from:
b.tile.cloudmade.com
It should (since it is OSM plugin after all) fetch the tiles from here:
tile.openstreetmap.org
The reason why this is important is that OSM shows more details. E.g. trails in forest are not properly shown in the cloudmade map. And that really is a big deal for geocaching
I requested Till & Ruinelli to update the plugin.
Lets see what they have to say..
cacheme (0.8.12-1-Harmattan2) unstable; urgency=low Imported changed from cacheme 0.8.12 (and 0.8.11): * Suppress further background processing for qt 4.7.4 * Show gps precision in nav view * Support imperial units for distances * Option to disable map screen saver * Obfuscate password in conf file * Support for QtMobility 1.2.1 map types (not yet working) Changes: * Removed full screen toggle button * Windows are now flickable instead showing scroll bars (Thanks to Till Harbaum) * Added title bar to windows * Added button to log window so you can copy the URL. This way you can use another browser to write a log (the build in browser seems not to be able to handle HTTPS URLs properly). Known issues: * New OVI maps styles are not yet supported * GPX files can not be loaded. (This needs a major rewrite of the file open dialog and does not have high priority for me!)

Thanks for the new release. Just tried mapping with OSM again and noticed that the caching is still disabled even though it is a must IMHO. Fetching the map tiles every time again and again is a waste of network resources and especially time.
So please just uncomment the following line in "qgeomappingmanagerengine_osm.h":
This really boosts the map loading in N9! There should be gigabytes of memory to use for the maps. If some limit is needed, then lets just code that - right?Code:// #define USE_NETWORK_CACHE
* Completely disable use of network disk cache

I think (but sure lets check it) he disabled it since when the cache filled up in symbian there was some unexpected results. Some symbian phones do not have much disk space in them. And if/when the temp cache is in C (like the comment in code says) there's really not that much room.
In N9 there should be plenty of room.
I did not check yet though that is there some limit coded to the cache size in the map plugin(s).

cacheme (0.8.12-1-Harmattan3) unstable; urgency=low Changes: * Updated Finnish translation (Thanks to Marko Vertainen) * Use Opera browser if installed * Corrected time/date display (use local format) * Re-enabled network cache for Google maps and open street maps. Please let me know if you have issues with it. * Fixed bug where e Cloudmade maps where used instead of OSM. Note: I installed Opera Mobile from here: http://sandst1.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/operamobile-11-00-for-harmattan/ I do not know if this also works on a N9! Known issues: * New OVI maps styles are not yet supported * GPX files can not be loaded. (This needs a major rewrite of the file open dialog and does not have high priority for me!)
