It works very well, and it's already used by a number of mobile apps for Android/iPhone for routing.
It even gives a number of options (ie. balanced, fastest, quietest, or shortest) - but even just implementing a standard 'balanced' one would be great.

Thanks a lot!
I am planning to add this in one of future releases.

However, one thing I'm worried about is my phone gets overheated after a continuous usage (causing a drastic battery drain) and so, when I open QCPUFreq, where the CPU temperature is usually shown, now says "unknown". Is that normal?

Finally an up-to-date GPS that works and routes in my area...
That is normal - I have the same. N900 eats its battery in no time when used fully. The battery that I got with my first N900 two years ago holds only for 15-20 minutes when used heavily and it is heating. When it was new I could use it heavily for about 4 hours.

As a part of creating new interface for N9 the things you mentions should all be resolved. Just give me some time.

Maps are stored in /home/user/MyDocs/.maps. Please refer to first post for map downloading questions.

I suggest to make it consistent with the default apps
I know that - input is causing a lot of problems when developing using SDL only. I am struggling to make QT text input capabilities working within CloudGPS.

New UI will fix that.

The best place for that would be the CloudGPS bugtracker.

Only a coincidence? ...i don't believe...
Programs using liblocation can choose the method of determining the location. CloudGPS uses whatever you have set in location settings in control panel. There is no difference in fix time between apps for me.

The fix time is significantly longer if there is no Internet connection while starting GPS module. AGPS in practice timeouts getting the data before N900 is able to make the connection. This affects all GPS apps. A workaround for that is to restart the GPS app and the AGPS module will work as intended.

This is quite easy and I it planned for one of next releases.
