I have to say that I think the navigation on the Nokia phones is pretty good but what happened to me several times is that I couldn't find a "business" (by name or category) and since I got lost following directions more than once I really wanted to have a textual description of the path.

How do you feel about "how it works"? I wanted to have all the options accessible and easy to find. I do agree with about "how it looks". The color came from promising my daughter a purple application. The icons I created myself and clearly is not my "best skill" ... If anybody wants to come up with a new (complete) set of icons and is willing to "donate it" I will change the code to support multiple skins.

I really don't know how much the performance can be optimized. I have to say that I am quite disappointed now that I have the application working on a Symbian - the pan and zoom is much quicker. I guess our hope is to use Qt5 (the standard browser on our harmattan uses Webkit2 but the one available to Qt is not and, probably, not as nearly as optimized for the device. With Qt5 I should be able to use WebKit2 for the application as well).

On the navigation: first of all be careful! While I was testing the application I almost got into an accident. I don't think it is good/ready enough for navigation while driving. Google maps license prevent me from really making it into a turn-by-turn navigation. The best I could do "within the lines" is make the "center button" try to automatically select the step you are in but you have to press it every time

I have never used the "my maps". What is it about? Another common request is the "street view". I really don't know when I will find the time but I will try...

BTW, Thank you very much for your donation.
