I must just take you (and other willing victims) up on that. I can't guarantee program stability; you'll probably lose map data and/or track data. But it definitely can't hurt to have some sort of beta program to help iron out the bugs.

Anyone else interested? I'll contact you through ITT PM, if I decide to host a beta.

Perhaps a moderator could poll the user group, ask who would be willing to part with a few $ for our map god Gunite!..

Perhaps, we could start a separate posting so that we could start collecting donations for Gunite.

Probably your firewall doesn't allow incoming or outgoing connections to port 8080. My ISP doesn't allow hosting websites on port 80, so I have to use port 8080 (another typically-allowed port for HTTP).

...Map rotation works, but it's not the fastest thing in the world. There are actually no GTK library calls to rotate an image by an arbitrary angle, so I had to do all the math by hand (matrices, yay). The rotated OpenStreetMap PNGs are actually surprisingly readable, but you will have a harder time reading them, especially if they are upside down. :) I did manage to keep memory usage low, but the consequence is that any change in the viewpoint takes up to 0.25 seconds or so to redraw (not as fast as v1.x). And yes, auto-rotate is implemented so that--when Auto-Center is enabled--Maemo Mapper will automatically rotate the viewpoint to follow your heading. You can also rotate the viewpoint manually with the directional buttons. You can still choose to map the directional buttons to panning, but you may not need to, because...

I've added drag-to-pan functionality, so when you tap-and-drag the stylus on the map, the map moves with your stylus. It actually looks pretty slick. The old "single-tap to center on a location" mechanism is still in place. I also added "tap on a waypoint to see the description."

And then there's the POI Search stuff that I mentioned in this thread. Check out the thread for details.

Another thing: would it be possible to get directions in another language, or ftlite can only synthetize english?

There should be a feature that lets you mark down locations that are monitered my police for speed. In conjunction with marking there should be vocal warnings or beeps 300 or so meters away. I always have my n800 in my car runnng maemo mapper and I find myself getting tickets in the same old places. What you guys think?

with the appropriately converted files, it should work with other languages. It seems the problem is that they're not easy to convert :( so the only available voice is english.

mr Gnuite kindly release your 2.0 version whether apha or beta, incomplete or not stable. I just cannot wait as many owner like me of n770 always like to explore re-flash again re-install and over again. This is fun for us since the system on linux but waiting for 2.0 since May it means very long and your apps was the killer application for N770. thank you BTW without mmapper n770 =gameover.
