QML are uncompiled sources. You can simply open them in a text editor.

Anyway, I created the qwazer project in google code http://code.google.com/p/qwazer/source/checkout. you can also see it there.

I found out yesterday that the waze web API only allow embedding the map , some painting and simple searches - meaning no navigation :mad: (voice guidance mechanism needed to be written regardless of that)

Gladly, I have an idea how to overcome that, but I will need to rewrite what I've already done

Yes, the waze ppl suggested porting as well, but...

I have no interest of porting it because:
1) most of the functionality is already in Qt and since the waze code is huge and missing some documentation, so it will take a lot of time. I think that less than rewriting it.
2) I want to make it in pure QML so that it will be truly multiplatform

Anyway, I have attached v0.0.2 (run it similarly to previous release
Code:

qmlviewer -I /opt/qtm12/imports/ qwazer.qml
)
Changelog:
* you can now search (even though the result list UI is ugly...)

Roadmap:
v0.0.3 - show landmark for current position and found position
v0.0.4 - allow navigation and show navigation track on the map, incl. current location tracking (no voice guidance yet)
v0.0.5 - show navigation track on the map incl. current location tracking (no voice guidance yet)
v0.0.6 - make the map rotate when changing driving direction
v0.0.7 - show additional information during navigation (like distance to next turn, where to turn, name of the road, speed, etc...)
v0.0.8 - add voice guidance (hopefully, the waze ppl will let me use their recordings)
v0.0.9 - making a deb and upload to extras/testing
v0.1.0 - reduce network usage (local cache...)

I have not yet uploaded into extras testing since it is in a very early development stages, but I did however checked in a task yesterday to the source repository that allows deb generation, so I will provides installable links starting the next version.

I am hoping to release version v0.0.3 by the end of the week which will allow plotting a course between 2 locations and show the course on the map (no voice guidance nor current location tracking nor course details in this version).
