I guess that this would be pretty hard to impelement but I will look into it.

* Option for continuous centering by current GPS location would be nice
This feature actually already exists, press and hold GPS position icon in top right corner to enable it.

* Option for automatic screen orientation would be nice. I noticed that shift+ctrl+r works. Maybe it could be default setting?
Will be added but probably not yet in the next version.

* Possible bug: when I open the landmark entry screen and tap to a Name or description field, the program closes immediately.
Yes I have discovered this also but I couldn't fix it yet. When I compile and run Mapsi on Windows it works fine, so it might be that there's bug in Maemos Qt implementation.

* Possible bug: when I try to import landmarks, the program gives an error: "Failed to import landmarks from 'import.gpx'"
At the moment landmarks are imported from file "/home/user/MyDocs/.mapsi/import.gpx" and exported to ".../.mapsi/export.gpx". Supported import formats are Gpx 1.1, Kml, Kmz and Lmx. I will add possibility to select import/export file maybe in the next version.

Couple of times when I have opened the program, it does not load map tiles even when the connection is fine (3G). May this be related to limitations of Paikkatietokanta? Do they follow the IP addresses and limit excess downloading from same address?
I don't think that there are any download limitations. In the settings menu the icon with two arrows can be used to enable/disable use of WMS(Web Map Service). If you have WMS disabled map tiles won't be downloaded. You can also try to change used WMS server by pressing and holding that WMS icon. (Paikkatietoikkuna has 4 WMS servers)
