As an occasionally drunk Espoo citizen I am eagerly waiting a "Get home" button. In this the home (end point of the journey) could be predefined and starting point would be taken from GPS. Do you have any plans to implement something like this?

I'll keep this off Extras until we get caching questions sorted out with the data provider. Before that, you can grab a copy from http://github.com/bergie/buscatcher

The data provider got their issues solved so the app is now in extras-testing. Please vote!

Seems to work as advertised.

One feature request: it would be nice to have a marker (red dot, cross or something like that) visible for the current location. The location is of course in the middle of the map, but when I scroll the map it becomes less obvious and it gets difficult to see where I am standing related to the moving busses...

This would be the most usefull feature in a phone ever (including voice calls).

There could also be additional features to this. For example, if you use this feature so late in the night that public transportation is no longer having any suitable busses for you, the phone could automatically call to taxi central, your wife, or your mother to pick you up.

The automatic centering of the map to the current location is bit too aggressive to my taste. If you want just see how's the situation in other part of the city and scroll the map, the application takes you to the current location almost immediately. This makes the map scrolling quite frustrating.

I noticed that too. Maybe the centering could be optional?

It also needs a big kebab button that will guide you to the nearest fast-food place

I think for next version I'll add a "keep centered" toggle so you can switch between this and free scrolling. And definitely a position indicator for where you are.
