Thank you for your kind words. As a matter of fact I have just uploaded version that has preliminary support for routing (changelog in a minute).

- when zoomed in moving around with your finger can quickly accelerate or be over responsive.
Fixed in 0.5.5.

Please try running it from x-terminal using this command:
Code:
/opt/cloudgps/cloudgps
and collect errors on terminal. Then paste them here and I will try to help.

It was that way on some early versions but I disabled it on purpose. Sometimes (ie. right after a reboot) N900 reports current position based only on cellular operator. This gives startup location accuracy of hundreds of kilometres and I was not really happy with it jumping in the centre of Poland all of a sudden.

I am happy with having last used location and tapping "big blue dot" after I see that GPS has fix. Perhaps this will be configurable in future.

Completely agree. This will be improved in future releases.

- when route tracking is in, could also choose an address from a contact in contact list if they have an address loaded.
Will consider it but with lower priority. There are still plenty of important features to implement.
