If anybody knows the maemo mapper dude, let him know I'd love to help with design!

Looking at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-mapper/ there is no "Mapper dude" but a team full of names. However, I asked yesterday Alberto Mardegan about the current status and basically he is the only one working right now, and he is trying to find the hours to optimize the UI to Maemo 5, after having integrated successfully Clutter in the application.

If you are interested please contact those guys directly or at lease offer your help inh the official Mapper thread since I don't think Mardegan & co are following this thread.

btw any news about Navit or QtMapper?

Joshua,
looks like you are in luck, the Mapper thread is activty asking for graphic designers: something to get your teeth into!!

I'm looking at the garage thread, I'll take a proper look tomorrow and see if I can figure it out... I'm down to help out for sure.

While we're talking about map apps, there is Emerillon (which is in the only-use-if-you-know-what-you're-doing extras-devel repo).

This uses libchamplain for a nice clutter map widget. Needs hildonisation, I'm getting there gradually, but patches welcome.

Okay, not sure where to post this for feedback, but here are the icons i made so far.


fullscreen, settings, rotate, zoom in, zoom out, point, route, path, gps enabled, gps disabled

@ Joshua
Nice work. I really think that the community is in a need for a designer with your skills…

Thanks, I'm still trying to figure out Garage, I sent an email to marty, I think that was the name, asking if I could help out with the icons.

I'm not really a designer by trade, but I want to develop my skills, and since I love maemo and the n900, here seems like the perfect place. I'll try to get another 2 or 3 icons done for tomorrow.

The +/- layer styles may need to be tweaked still.
