Will be there soon (this summer).

Double pixel mode is already there. Hold Shift and tap zoom out icon to see it. Bigger font for menus and status bar needs proper TTF and unicode support. TTF support will be quite easy (because of SDL_TTF) but there are problems with unicode.

SDL 1.2 does not have full support for unicode, and SDL 1.3 does not work on N900. This is something I would like to be helped with - deliver national characters input with hw keyboard and SDL. Anyone willing to help?

If you can live with OSM maps you can use CloudMade with custom map style. I planned to provide inverted colors (because its performance cost is zero). Adjusting image without shaders would be pretty CPU intensive. I will consider adding contrast setup in future. For now there are more needed features like multiple layers support.

- If you set a marker as a target, you need an arrow, which is show the target's position if it isn't in screen.
- Permanent markers (or POIs). (To find those quick.)
Will be there soon.

I like your app, it was very helpful the last some days, I will send you some donation today.
Please wait a few days and when 0.5.x will be released the sources will be available in extras-devel. Right now I am working on them and they are not really ready to be released. If you want latest published sources (for version 0.4.8) you can find them here: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ce/c/cloudgps/
